Enrollment in Continuous Vetting will result in automated record checks being conducted throughout one's employment with Treasury. The successful candidate will also be enrolled into FBI's Rap Back service, which will allow Treasury to receive notification from the FBI of criminal matters (e.g., arrests, charges, convictions) involving enrolled individuals in near real-time.

There are three key documents that contain important information about your rights and obligations. Please read and retain these documents:

• Noncriminal Justice Applicant's Privacy Rights, for those who undergo an FBI fingerprint-based criminal history record check for personnel vetting, which includes Rap Back,
• FD-258 Privacy Act Statement - FBI (this is the same statement used when your fingerprints are submitted as part of your background investigation), and
• SEAD-3-Reporting-U.pdf (dni.gov), (applicable to those who hold a sensitive position or have eligibility for access to classified information).

You must satisfactorily perform on the Deductive Reasoning Tests, Writing Skills Test, and Job-related Knowledge Test in order to be considered for the ANBE position. All eligible applicants are required to test. Test results from previous ANBE testing sessions will not be considered.

1) Scheduling Your Test: After you submit your application, and you self-certify meeting initial eligibility requirement, you will receive an email with instructions for scheduling a test appointment to complete a series of job-related tests. You will then have the option to take the job-related tests using one of two delivery methods:

1. Test virtually: You may elect to test virtually from your home or office, using OnVUE online proctoring, a flexible, convenient, and easy way to take the tests, or
2. Test in-person: You may choose to test in-person at a Pearson Vue Professional Test Center.

If you do not receive a test invitation within 1-2 business days after submitting your application, please check your spam or junk mail first to ensure the invitation has not been re-routed. If you do not receive an invitation to test during the specified timeframe, contact the ANBE Recruitment line at 1-800-213-1601 or send an e-mail to ANBERecruitment@occ.treas.gov to request a copy of your test invitation e-mail.

You are advised to schedule as early as possible for your preferred test location and date. Seats fill up quickly and we cannot guarantee that seats will be available at the end of the scheduling period. You will select your test method as part of the test-scheduling process and you will receive a confirmation of your test appointment. Appointments are made on a first come, first served basis. You must schedule your appointment no later than September 30, 2024, and complete the tests no later than close of business on October 1, 2024. You will be responsible for any expenses incurred in traveling to your selected testing center. Note: You will receive a confirmation e-mail confirming your test appointment, and you will have the opportunity to make changes to the date, time, and location of your appointment. You may reschedule within the allotted time frame the OCC has allowed for applicant testing, however rescheduling must occur at least 24 hours before your originally scheduled appointment. No walk-in testing is allowed at the testing centers.

2) Testing: You must schedule your appointment no later than September 30, 2024, and complete the tests no later than close of business on October 1, 2024. Applicants must take a series of up to three computer based job-related tests: a deductive reasoning test, a writing skills test, and a job-related knowledge test. If your performance on each test is satisfactory, you will move forward to the next test in the application process. If your performance is not satisfactory, your test session will end, and you will be notified you are no longer under consideration for the ANBE position. Your test appointment will last up to three (3) hours, including instruction and a break, and all tests must be completed during your test appointment. You may not take the tests on different days or at different times on the same day. You will be notified of your test performance same day. After all applicants are tested during the testing window, ending October 1, 2024, Human Resources will review your application to validate meeting the minimum qualifications for the position, including that you have submitted all required documentation. Your responses to the online questions must be supported by the education and/or experience described in your application. You may be found "not qualified" if the validation process determines that you do not meet the criteria outlined under the Qualifications section, or if you have not submitted all required documentation. This could mean that you successfully complete the tests and are later deemed to be "not qualified." If you are validated as qualified, your combined score from the tests will be used to determine if you are among the top qualified applicants.

How you will be evaluated

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

The OCC uses a progressive, multistep process to evaluate and refer applicants:

1. Resume
2. Responses to online questions
3. Online Test Results (Deductive Reasoning Test, Writing Skills Test, Job-related Knowledge Test)
4. Minimum Qualification review
5. Structured Screening Interview Test Results, when applicable
6. Structured Decision Interview Test Results, when applicable

Applicants who perform satisfactorily on the tests, and meet minimum qualification requirements, may be invited for an initial structured screening interview. Applicants who pass the structured screening interview may be invited to a final structured decision interview. Veterans' preference points are added to the scores of applicants who pass (earning a score of at least 70) the required tests. Following the structured decision interview, applicants will be placed into quality groupings. Preference-eligibles will be listed at the top of their assigned quality grouping and will be considered before non-preference eligibles in that quality grouping.
