You will be scored on the questions you answer during the application process, which will measure your possession of the following competencies or knowledge, skills, and abilities:

  1. Knowledge of a wide range of property management principles, concepts and practices as well as a thorough understanding of building tenants and customer agencies’ needs, requirements and customer satisfaction drivers to develop options and solutions to provide quality building services that optimize the building’s ability to support the customer’s mission needs.
  2. Knowledge of the customer mission, coupled with GSA and customer business requirements, and the ability to integrate those needs to identify and translate those requirements into asset recommendations for assigned buildings that fulfill customer expectations and asset management standards.

  5. Knowledge of building and operating system capabilities and limitations related to the development and integration of asset investment strategies into an asset business plan.

Your answers to the questions will be used to place you in one of the following categories and standard score ranges:

  • Best Qualified = Candidates scoring between 95 - 100
  • Well Qualified = Candidates scoring between 85 - 94 (Well Qualified for CTAP/ICTAP)
  • Qualified = Candidates scoring between 70 - 84

We will verify your answers to the questions in your resume. If your resume doesn’t support your answers, we may lower your score, which could place you in a lower category.
