Placement Consideration Instructions

Use the Office of Personnel Management's General Schedule Qualification Standards and Job Grading Standards for Trades, Craft, and Labor Positions to select any additional occupational series and grade levels you want to be considered for.

Employees cannot register for positions with a grade higher than the position from which they will be separated, but may elect to accept job offers at lower grade levels. You can choose multiple series, but the Office of Human Resources (OHR) will make the final determination of your qualifications.

If you request consideration for additional occupational series, your resume must clearly show that you meet the required experience and education requirements for that series.

Additionally, please identify any specific conditions that you will accept, including:

  • Grades lower than your current position.
  • Type of appointment (i.e., permanent and/or time-limited.)
  • Minimum hours per week you are willing to work if current position is less than full-time.
