  Qualifications
  
  
  You must meet qualifications and requirements by the announcement closing date.
  
  Your resume (and/or transcript if necessary) must clearly show that you meet the qualifications (i.e., specialized experience and/or education requirements) for the grade level(s) for which you are applying.
  • At the GS-11 grade level, you can meet the minimum qualifications through specialized experience, education, or a combination of the two. To calculate the combination, divide your total months of specialized experience by 12. Then divide the total number of completed graduate semester hours (or equivalent) beyond the second year (total graduate semester hours minus 36) by 18. Add the two percentages. If they total 100%, you meet the minimum qualifications through a combination of specialized experience and education.
  
  Specialized experience is written to the lowest equivalent grade level that meets the minimum experience requirement. What does this mean to applicants? Example: An applicant has one year of specialized experience at the GS-8 grade level and wants to apply for a GS-9. The GS-9 requires specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-7. Since the applicant has specialized experience at a higher grade (i.e., GS-8) than is required (i.e., GS-7), the applicant may apply for the GS-9.
  
  Specialized experience is demonstrated knowledge of retail procurement and distribution methods; principles, procedures, and techniques of retail food merchandising and retail food store management, and developments in commercial retail food store items, equipment, and practices. Examples of creditable qualifying specialized experience include:
  • Managing a commissary store, supermarket, or similar type of commercial retail food store.
  • Managing a department in a retail food store.
  • Planning, standardizing, or controlling operations in an assigned group of retail food stores.
  • Developing, interpreting, or applying policies, procedures, and operating standards for use in a retail food store.
  • Providing technical advice on merchandising and operational matters pertaining to grocery, meats, and produce supplies, as well as front-end operations.
  
  You will receive credit for all relevant qualifying experience (paid and unpaid), including volunteer work done through National Service program (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social).
  
  Education used to qualify for this position, in whole or in part, must have equipped you with the knowledge and ability to perform the work of the position, as evidenced by on-the-job-training in food retail management or an internship or practicum in food retail management. Transcripts are required if relying on education to qualify. See Required Documents for more information.
  
  Qualifications
  
  For GS-11: (A) one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-9 grade level, OR (B) Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree or three full years of progressively higher graduate level education leading to such a degree, or LL.M. (if related) with major study in business administration, public administration, agricultural economics (food industry management), or other fields related to the position, OR (C) a combination of specialized experience and education.
  
  As part of the online application process, you will respond to a series of questions designed to evaluate your possession of these competencies:
  • Commissary Operations
  • Interpersonal Skills
  • Management Experience in Retail Store
  
  Overtime: Occasional
  Bargaining Unit Status: Not covered
  Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Exempt
  Obligated Position: If obligated, you occupying the position is subject to the former incumbent returning. If the former incumbent does not return to the position, your occupancy may become permanent. Tentative job offers identify if the position you are offered is obligated.
