If your application is missing information, you will not be contacted to correct your application. As such, please ensure your application is complete and contains all required information. To be included in this repository, you must provide a complete Application Package which includes:
- CCA Certificate of Eligibility Requirement: Please submit a copy of your CCA certificate of eligibility confirming you've successfully completed the program. The certificate must be signed by your CCA Program Manager and must have the dates and hours of your internship or fellowship. If you do not have a certificate, you can get one by contacting your program. Since 2020, eligible programs have provided certificates when students complete their internships. In February of 2024, NOAA updated the certificate; if you received a certificate between 2020 and January of 2024, it is still valid.
- Resume: Your resume must include; job title(s) (including job series and grade, if federal); description of duties or work performed; education; starting and ending dates (month and year); and hours worked per week and/or full-time or part-time. If identifying as part-time you must state the number of hours per week. (NOTE: A full-time work schedule requires most employees to work 33-40 hours during the work week. A part-time schedule requires an employee to work less than full-time, but for a specific number of hours (usually 16-32 hours per administrative work week) on a prearranged scheduled tour of duty.) Ensure your email address is one that will be active for at least the next year. You are highly encouraged to use USAJOBS Resume Builder to ensure all required information is included in your Resume. Please see this guidance: What to include in your resume
- Transcripts : You must submit any and all transcripts that may be used to qualify you for the position. Your most recent transcript must include a degree conferment date (if applicable). If submitting a copy of your diploma, a transcript must also be included. Transcripts may be official or unofficial.
Optional Documents
A cover letter is encouraged, but not required, and may be addressed to "NOAA hiring manager."
If you are relying on your education to meet qualification requirements:
Education must be accredited by an accrediting institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education in order for it to be credited towards qualifications. If any education was completed at a foreign institute, you must submit with your application evidence that the institute was appropriately accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as equivalent to U.S. education standards. There are private organizations that specialize in this evaluation and a fee is normally associated with this service. For a list of private organizations that evaluate education, visit the NACES website. All transcripts must be in English or include an English translation.
