A. One year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-09 grade level in the Federal service:
  • Providing management, control and coordination of routine documents and correspondence;
  • Ensuring prepared documents or correspondence are grammatically correct and clearly communicate the desired information;

You have computed the percentage of the requirements that you meet, and the total is at least 100%. (To compute the percentage, divide your total months of qualifying experience by 12. Then divide your semester hours of graduate education beyond the first year by 18. Add the two percentages. The total percentage must equal at least 100 percent to qualify.)
