ALL APPLICANTS SHOULD FURNISH THE FOLLOWING, AS SHOWN BELOW.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY AS FAILURE TO SUBMIT ALL REQUIRED FORMS OR INFORMATION MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONSIDERATION FOR THIS POSITION.

1. A current, complete resume (REQUIRED);
The following information must be contained in your resume:
a. full name, mailing address, day and evening phone numbers, email address;

4. Veterans Preference Documentation - Mediator positions with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) are in the excepted service, therefore, there is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference to mediator appointments. FMCS, however, considers veterans' preference a positive factor in the Mediator hiring process. If you are eligible for veterans' preference in hiring, you are encouraged to include that information in your application along with the supporting documentation, (e.g., SF15, DD214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, or other supporting documentation). (if applicable);
5. ICTAP/CTAP documentation - In order to receive special selection priority, ICTAP and CTAP eligibles must meet all eligibility and qualification requirements, be assessed and laced in the "Well Qualified" category, and submit appropriate documentary evidence, e.g., Reduction-In-Force (RIF) Notice, Certification of Expected Separation, SF-50 documenting separation by RIF, or a letter from OPM or your agency documenting your priority consideration (if applicable);
6. Professional References - Provide three (3) references. Include representatives from labor and management, labor neutrals, or others familiar with your work in labor relations or conflict resolution who are not current employees of FMCS. These references will only be contacted if we are prepared to make you a job offer.

PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT UNREQUESTED DOCUMENTATION: Please DO NOT submit examples of work products, writing samples, letters of reference, pictures, or training certificates unless the vacancy announcement specifically asks for them; they will not be forwarded to the interview panel and/or selecting official.
