You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the qualifications above.
Applications will first be evaluated to determine whether the following screen out element is met:
- Ability to do the work of an Electrician without more than normal supervision.
If an applicant meets the screen-out element, the following Job Elements will be evaluated:
- Knowledge of electrical equipment.
- Knowledge of theory and instruments (electrical, electronic) used in shop and trade practice, i.e., National Electrical Code.
- Knowledge of technical practices (theoretical, precise, artistic) as they related to the electrical trade.
- Ability to use electrical drawings.
- Ability to use and maintain hand tools used in electrical work.
- Ability to troubleshoot electrical problems.
Applicants who meet or exceed the screen-out element will be assigned to one of three category groups based on job-related criteria:
Best Category - Meets the screen-out element and excels in most of the job-related elements above.
Good Category - Meets the screen-out element, but does not satisfy most of the job-related elements above to a substantive degree.
This category rating process does not add veterans' preference points or apply the "rule of three" but protects the rights of veterans by placing them ahead of non-veterans within each category. A selecting official may make selections from the highest quality category (Best Category) provided no veteran in that category is passed over to select a non-veteran in that category unless the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 3317(b) or 3318(b) are satisfied.
Veterans who meet minimum qualification requirements and who have a compensable service-connected disability of at least 10 percent must be listed in the highest quality category, except when the position being filled is scientific or professional at the GS-9 grade level or higher.
Applicants who have not submitted a resume in the USAjobs system and/or have not answered all of the announcement questions will not be considered for this position.

Your resume and supporting documentation will be compared to your responses to the occupational questionnaire or other assessment tool for consistency. If a determination is made that you have rated yourself higher than is supported by your resume, you will be assigned a rating commensurate to your described experience.
