Service Levels
Which service level should you purchase?
It depends on the type of government job you are applying for (not your current level).
Find your level according to the chart below. The easiest type of service level to determine is by the GS level. If the announcement is for a position not using the GS scale, then use the salary levels as your guide. We also look at the type of position you are applying for as an additional criteria that affects the complexity of the resume and application.
