Specialized experience at this level is defined as: Experience designing and developing unique and original electronics systems; analyzing specifications data sheet and drawings to determine applicability; conducting studies for extensive modifications of major components of electronic equipment; developing test and evaluation procedures for electronic systems and equipment; and troubleshooting existing installations and providing technical operational support for the industrial control system. These examples are not all inclusive. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.

Under applicable law, the employment of an individual serving a probationary automatically terminates when that period ends unless the agency affirmatively certifies, in writing, that the individual's employment should continue and that their appointment should be finalized. In the absence of agency action to affirmatively certify continued employment beyond the probationary period, such appointments are terminated. Upon completion of your probationary your employment will be terminated unless you receive certification, in writing, that your continued employment advances the public interest.
