Qualifications
In order to qualify, applicants must be eligible for appointment under the 30% or more disabled veterans hiring authority. The 30% or More Disabled Veteran hiring authority allows an agency to non-competitively appoint any veteran with a 30% or more service-connected disability.
You are eligible if you:
are retired from active military service with a service-connected disability rating of 30% or more, OR
have a rating by the Department of Veterans Affairs showing a compensable service-connected disability of 30% or more.
This authority can be used to make temporary (at least 60 days but not to exceed 1 year) or term (more than 1 year, but not more than 4) appointments in the competitive service. There is no grade level restriction. There is no requirement that you be converted to a permanent position, but an agency has the authority to convert such a position to a permanent position if it chooses to do so. The agency would first place you on a time limited appointment of at least 60 days and could then convert that appointment to a permanent appointment at management's discretion. When the authority is used to meet a time-limited need, however, you will not be converted to a permanent appointment.
You must provide acceptable documentation of your preference or appointment eligibility which is listed under the "Required Documents" section of this announcement.
All applicants must be aware that this announcement DOES NOT guarantee selection for employment, only a method in which to be considered for employment. In order to be considered all applicants submitting their information for this file must submit applicable documents listed in the "Required Documents" section below.
Limit your resume to no more than two (2) pages. If more than two pages are submitted, only the first two pages will be reviewed to determine your eligibility and qualifications. Your full resume will be made available to the hiring manager if you are referred.
Education

Please review the series listed above in the "duties" section which provides a link to the qualifications standards for each series and will advise if there is an education requirement.
