Future pay increases within the payband will be accomplished through the pay for performance management system.

In order to qualify, you must meet the experience or education requirements described below. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student; social). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application.

This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (DJ-02/GS-09).

To compute the percentage of the requirements, divide your total months of experience by 12.
