Hi….I’m writing to spread the word about an upcoming Pathways Recent Graduate opportunity at the USGS Alaska Science Center. We are looking for someone who graduated with a BS or MS in the last 2 years to join our group and work on geologic mapping and map compilation of surficial geologic deposits in Alaska. The job opportunity will go live tomorrow, June 22, in USA Jobs. If you know of any suitable candidates who might be interested in working in Alaska with the USGS, please forward them this information and have them reach out to me directly with any questions. You should also encourage them to submit application materials ASAP because the announcement will close early if the cap on initial applicants is reached before July 6.



The link to the announcement and information for applicants is below.



Thanks for your time and consideration.

Job Posting - Geologist GS-1350-7, Recent Graduate

https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/660116400<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usajobs.gov%2FGetJob%2FViewDetails%2F660116400&data=05%7C01%7Cschermer%40wwu.edu%7C238cb175b7c04abcd7d008da53c79871%7Cdc46140ce26f43efb0ae00f257f478ff%7C0%7C0%7C637914414146962406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=RderVN9qSuCG7CZel6Xx9lclHLTmj%2F%2F5OqgpY3mY76A%3D&reserved=0>



The announcement opens on Wednesday, June 22nd and will close on Wednesday, July 6th.

- *IMPORTANT* Since this is a professional series position, there is a positive education requirement. This means that if they don't have the required coursework, they will be disqualified from further consideration. They should submit ALL copies of their unofficial transcripts. This is especially important if they've attended multiple schools. Their current school doesn’t always list the transfer classes out. The transcripts are needed to confirm that they have completed the required coursework for the basic education requirement and have graduated with the previous two years.

- Resumes should also include a month and year, along with their relevant work experience underneath each period of employment. Their resumes or CV's should contain enough details regarding their work experience for us to determine whether they have the specialized experience or not.

- If they have current or prior federal service, they should list the grade levels. If this is left out, it won't necessarily get them rated out, but it may help them get rated in easier.

- They MUST submit ALL required documentation prior to the close of the announcement.  All documents must be legible! They can always e-mail the contact person in the vacancy announcement to confirm that their documents all uploaded correctly. Sometimes the documents submitted are blurry and really hard to read.

Applicants may also access the HELP section of the USAjobs site. It goes into more detail regarding the federal hiring process. https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usajobs.gov%2FHelp%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cschermer%40wwu.edu%7C238cb175b7c04abcd7d008da53c79871%7Cdc46140ce26f43efb0ae00f257f478ff%7C0%7C0%7C637914414146962406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=vHr%2BK4WEtHJGWdCFtYnV1%2FaaJ6hwT%2FstsKR%2FrFDMK4Y%3D&reserved=0>

The information provided above is already in the announcement, and some of it can be found on the USAjobs help section (which is also provided in the announcement). This is also information that I provide to applicants when they call me because they were marked as disqualified. For some applicants the federal hiring process can be a bit confusing, which is why I provide the information.
