How you will be evaluated

You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the qualifications above.

We will use a method called Category Rating to assess your application. Here’s how it will work:

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 property and facilities management practices in multiple, complex, federal, or commercial office buildings with a minimum footprint of 500,000 sqft. 
  2. Knowledge sufficient to develop, recommend, implement, improve, and oversee business activities, processes and systems related to the construction/renovation of facilities, real property management and realty.

  5. Ability to supervise, establish and assign work, develop performance criteria, evaluate performance, counsel employees, and facilitate professional development.

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.
