Qualifications:

To be minimally qualified, you must meet the basic requirements
below.

A.  Bachelor's or higher degree in economics that included at least
21 semester hours in economics and 3 semester hours in statistics,
accounting, or calculus from an accredited college or university.

OR

B.  A combination of work experience and education at an accredited
college or university equivalent to 4 years as described above. 
Examples of qualifying experience include (this list is not all
inclusive):  individual economic research assignments requiring
planning, information assembly, analysis and evaluation, conclusion
and report preparation, assignments involving the interpretation of
economic information, or teaching assignments in a college or
university that involve class instruction in economics and include
one of the following: personal research, direction of graduate theses
in economics, or service as a consultant or advisor on technical
economics problems.

NOTE:  Experience in related fields that did not involve the use of
and understanding of economic principles and theories may not be used
as qualifying experience.

Notes:
In applying the BASIC REQUIREMENTS above: 
1.  One full year of undergraduate academic study is defined as 30
semester hours (45 quarter hours) and is equivalent to 1 year of full-
time experience;
2.  Additional credit will not be given for duplicate course work
(courses will be counted only once); and
3.  Part-time experience will be prorated.

For the purpose of this application, we will deal in Semester hours.
If you have quarter hours, please use the following formula: # of
quarter hours completed divided by 1.5 = # of Semester hours.  For
example: If you have completed 12 quarter hours: 12/1.5=8 Semester
hours.

You may also be considered based upon a combination of education and
experience.  You may combine the college credits you completed with
any qualifying experience you have to total the equivalent of a four-
year college education.  When combining education and experience use
the following formula to calculate the total amount. Part time work
experience should be prorated.  Formula using Semester hours: # Sem
Hrs complete divided by 120 Sem Hrs + # of month's experience divided
by 48 months.  Example: 90 Semester hours of college (90/120) and 3
years experience (36/48) 90/120 + 36/48 = .75 + .75 =1.25.  If your
answer is one or more, you have the required combination.

Reminder:  Your resume must provide sufficient information to support
your responses to the following questions. Do not overstate or
understate your level of experience and capability. Your answers are
subject to evaluation and verification. Later steps in the selection
process will be used to verify your stated level of experience and
capability. If a determination is made that you have rated yourself
higher than is supported by your resume you will be assigned a rating
commensurate to your described experience. Deliberate attempts to
falsify information may be grounds for not selecting you.

How You Will Be Evaluated:

You will be evaluated on the following criteria: (1) by determining
if you meet the minimum qualifications required; (2) by the responses
you provide to the supplemental questionnaire, as described below,
indicating the extent to which you possess the specific
qualifications associated with this position as defined in the
Qualification section; and (3) by additional evaluation of
qualifications through an interview.

(1) You will be assigned to one of two catergory groups (A or B)
based on the results of the online assessment.  If you fail the
assessment, you will be considered not qualified for the position.

Job-Related Questions:  As part of the on-line application process,
you will need to respond to a series of questions designed to assess
your possession of the following Economist competencies:

Reading/Research ~ Understands and interprets written material,
including technical material, rules, regulations, instructions,
reports, charts, graphs, or tables; applies what is learned from
written material to specific situations.

Written Communications ~ Demonstrates the ability to clearly express
ideas, thoughts, and concepts in writing, using correct and
appropriate grammar, organization, and structure.

(2) If determined to meet the minimum qualifications for the
position, you will be sent via email a supplemental qualifications
questionnaire.  The questionnaire is used to determine if you possess
the knowledge skills and abilities of an Economist with the Large and
Mid-size Division of the Internal Revenue Service.

When responding to the questionnaire, you will be asked to describe
your experiences and identify your knowledge skills and abilities by
responding to the questions below:

A.  Identify specific industries in which you have worked and briefly
explain the type of work you did in each.

B.  Describe experience you have had that specifically involved you

interviews to elicit information for analysis, and in which you have
needed to communicate your conclusions using substantial written
reports or oral presentations. 

D.  Please describe any experience you have with specifically
multinational aspects of the operations of a firm with which you were
directly involved.  (The fact that the firm itself has such
operations is not as important as your description of you own
specific involvement with such activities.)

E.  Describe any experience you have with quantitative research tools
such as statistical or econometrics programs or corporate financial
database services such as Compustat or similar programs.  Identify
the program and/or corporate financial database, but also give a
brief description of the type of work for which you used it.

You will be sent this questionnaire after a review of your
application is performed to determine if you meet the minimum
qualifications.  You will have 5 days to respond to the
questionnaire.  If your response is not received, you will be
evaluated based on the information contained within your application.

(3) After a review of your application and your supplemental
qualifications questionnaire, your qualifications may be evaluated

Qualifying education from colleges and universities in foreign
countries must be evaluated in terms of equivalency to that acquired
in U.S. colleges and universities.  Applicants educated in whole or
in part in foreign countries must submit sufficient evidence,
including transcripts; to an accredited private organization for an
equivalency evaluation of course work, including grade and credit
conversion, and degree.  You must provide a copy of the letter
containing the results of the equivalency evaluation as supporting

supporting documentation must be submitted along with your
application. Failure to provide supporting documentation within the
prescribed period will result in disqualification or ineligibility
for preference/priority consideration.

Note: Although a copy of your transcripts is acceptable for
application processing, an official transcript will be required for
selection.

How You Will Be Evaluated:

You will be assigned to one of two category groups (A and B) based on
the results of the online assessment.  Each category group represents
a quality level.  Candidates will be considered in category group
order.  Qualified veterans claiming preference based on a service-
connected disability of 30% or more (CPS) or 10% but less than 30%
(CP) will be listed at the top of their assigned category group (A,
or B) and will be provided absolute preference over non-preference
eligibles.  All other preference eligibles (XP and TP) will also be
provided absolute preference over non-preference eligibles within
their assigned category group (A and B).  To pass over any qualified
preference eligible(s) to select a non-preference eligible requires
approval under formal objection procedures.  Note: You may
be "tentatively" assigned to a category group pending qualifications
validation and assessment results.  Final category assignment does
not occur until referral on a certificate.
