The first part was to understand what you are looking at and how to determine if you are able to apply to the position in the first place. It is well known that working for the federal government does not always pay the best but an interesting fact that I learned was that many agencies they can increase your pay due to locale, but all under the specific level allowances. All of this can be defined or searched for in any specific positions. The next section was how to read a job announcement in that there are often too many applications to jobs that people do not qualify for in order to work. Touching back on the levels (GS) many announcements also have specific level requirements.
A great question that was asked was do you have to have the degree before you able to the job? The answer was not, but that they could be looking for someone who already has the degree, but make sure you have it by the time you start the job. Specially agencies have different hiring times so make sure you contact the agency to determine when best to apply.
