SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS

For your application to be evaluated, you must answer the Supplemental Questions. 

The State of Alaska uses four proficiency levels to measure and describe an applicant’s level of competence in applying certain behaviors, knowledge, skills, and abilities to accomplish a specific task. The four proficiency levels are Mastery, Fluency, Literacy, and Discovery. You must rate your proficiency level for each competency listed in the supplemental questions. 

When using work experience not documented in your application, please provide the employer's name, job title, employment dates, and whether you worked full-time or part-time  Applications will be reviewed to determine if the responses are supported and if minimum qualifications are met  Work experience needed to meet the minimum qualifications must be documented in the application  If the application does not support minimum qualifications, the applicant may not advance to the interview and selection phase of the recruitment A resume will not be used to determine that minimum qualifications have been met for the position you are applying for.

If you have currently or previously been appointed to a flexibly staffed position, please ensure your work experience within a flexibly staffed position indicates the actual dates employed at each level  Ensure your time and any subsequent flex promotion(s) are documented as a separate position  This is required as minimum qualifications require experience at a particular level in which the lower level may not be considered  If this information is not accurately reflected in your application, this may cause the processing of your application for consideration to be delayed.
 
NOTE: Attaching a resume or curriculum vitae is not an alternative to filling out the application. Noting "see resume or CV" or any similar response on any portion of your application may lead to a determination that your application is incomplete and removal from consideration for this job posting.
