Candidates providing proof of completing 6 semester hours in accounting will be referred for employment consideration first. Other candidates will be referred only if there is an insufficient number of candidates.The six semester hours must be completed by the closing date of this announcement.
In addition, you must meet one of the minimum qualification requirements for the GS-5 grade level outlined below:
A. Completion of a 4-year course of study leading to a bachelor's degree or possess a bachelor's degree, or possess a certificate as a Certified Public Accountant, or possess bar membership.NOTE:You may apply for this position using education to meet the minimum qualifications if you will complete that education on or before April 30, 2008.

C. A combination of education as described under letter A above and specialized experience as described under letter B above which when combined are equivalent to 100% of the qualifications requirements. To compute this, first determine your qualifying experience as a percentage of the experience required under letter B above. Second, determine your undergraduate education as a percentage of the education required under letter A above. Then add the two percentages together. The total must equal at least 100% to qualify.
In addition to the Selective Factor/Quality Ranking Factor above, you must meet one of the minimum qualification requirements for the GS-7 grade level outlined below:
A. Completion of a bachelor's degree that meets one of the following provisions for Superior Academic Achievement:
1 . A standing in the upper third of your college class or major subdivision (e.g. school of business).
2. A grade point average of "B" (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or its equivalent for all courses completed; or during the last two years of your undergraduate curriculum.

4. Election to membership in one of the national honorary societies (other than freshman societies) that meets the requirements of the Association of College Honor Societies.
Grade point averages should be rounded to one decimal point. For example, 2.95 is rounded to 3.0, and 2.94 is rounded to 2.9.

If you cannot obtain your graduate school's definition of one year of graduate study, 18 semester hours (or 27 quarter hours) should be considered as satisfying the requirement for one full year of graduate study.

One year specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-5 level in the Federal service that demonstrated a substantive knowledge of business practices, basic accounting principles, and federal tax laws and regulations; and that required the ability to audit tax records, analyze systems and bookkeeping, use fact-finding techniques, and develop interpersonal skills.

PASS/FAIL COURSES: If more than 10 percent of your undergraduate course work (credit hours) was taken on a pass/fail basis, your claim of superior academic achievement must be based upon class standing or membership in an honor society.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOREIGN EDUCATION: Education completed in foreign colleges or universities may be used to meet the above requirements.
