Article Snip: "...Federal job classification systems vary by agency, but the most widely used is the General Schedule (GS), which covers most civilian white-collar positions. Most federal employees must be U.S. citizens...USAJOBS explains more about how the government hires people with a wide range of education and experience, from high school to advanced degrees, and discusses how requirements depend on the position.
Each federal job announcement on USAJOBS clearly describes the minimum qualifications, including required education, experience, and specialized skills. Every occupation also has a classification code (known as a “series”) that determines its qualification standards and pay structure. Understanding these occupational series codes can help you target jobs that match your background more efficiently. ...The OPM’s General Schedule Qualification Standards page provides examples of how different education levels (associate, bachelor’s, master’s, Ph.D.) generally correspond to GS grades and specifies that actual qualifications depend on occupational series."
