• Typing Proficiency: Must be a qualified typist, capable of typing 40 words per minute based on a 5-minute sample with three or fewer errors.
• Time in Grade: If holding a GS position within the last 52 weeks, must have 52 weeks of Federal service at the next lower grade or equivalent (GS-06).

Note: For this grade, qualification must be met using experience alone; no substitution of education for experience is permitted.

Applicants should ensure that prior to accepting a position overseas, any family members with special medical needs can have their medical needs met. Access to care in a military treatment facility may not be available to civilian employees except on a space-available basis. Consequently, host nation medical facilities may be the only care available. Employees (and family members) requiring medical or dental care in the overseas location will be responsible for obtaining and paying for such care. Access for civilian employees and their families to military medical and dental treatment facilities is on a space-available and reimbursable basis only. Medical and dental care may be provided by host nation providers, and the availability and level of care will vary by location.
