I Just Realized I Never Mentioned...

This is a job I'm applying for:

The Iron Mountain VA Medical Center has an opening for an Industrial
Hygienist graduate or post-graduate internship. The Federal Career
Internship Program (FCIP) is designed to help the VA recruit and attract
exceptional individuals into a variety of occupations. 
    Candidate
will be in training through a full-time paid position under an  
experienced professional in the targeted field. Individuals are
appointed into the Excepted Service to a 2-year internship. 
Completion of the internship may lead to a permanent position with our
agency at any of more than 160 VA Medical Centers in all 50 states.  You
must be willing to sign a mobility agreement prior to accepting the
position. Upon successful completion of the two-year program you may apply or may be placed
non-competitively in a VHA position.

     This is a
full-time, paid internship. which will begin on/or about 6/1/2010.

The fly in the ointment is this:
Applicants
who meet the qualification requirements listed above will be further
evaluated by determining the extent to which their work or related
experience, education, training, awards, outside activities, and
supervisory appraisal, etc., indicate they possess the knowledge,
skills, and abilities (KSA's) of the position.  All applicants should
provide clear, concise examples that show the level of accomplishment or
degree to which they possess the KSA.  Incomplete,
vague, or contradictory information may affect the rating.  Please
address the following KSA's on bond paper and attach your responses to
your application material.
I'm not going to list those. Suffice it to say there are 3 levels you can apply to and if you want to be considered for all of them, you'll have to answer all of them. I finished the first level and it took me 4 hours to write 2 pages...and that's with me having a cheat sheet in front of me! It's a good thing it's not due till the end of the month. Well 1 down, 2 to go!
