[quote=Anonymous]“How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.”

G5 is clerical positions, requires 4 yrs post-secondary ed but not even a degree. I applied once for a USDA county level field office job where I could be classified anywhere from G5-G7 (ended up not taking job). Kind of horrifying to think I could be hired to just go in and decide to implement EOs (the job involved farm programs and a ton of interaction with farmers for stuff like loan programs, CRP, etc, and basically a lot of making sure forms etc to comply with regs were completed and turned in.

“In this role, how would you use your skills and experience to improve government efficiency and effectiveness? Provide specific examples where you improved processes, reduced costs, or improved outcomes.”

Again, in a G5 position, if you were new to the agency, what would you even go on before learning the processes to begin with? Someone who has an answer to that should not be hire.

Basically, the statutory authorization and intent for these positions should be paramount
