Ask the Lawyer received the following question (paraphrased for easier reading and clarity) from a reader on a legal matter that might be of interest to the entire audience.
Q:
My application for federal employment was rated ineligible because my resume did not state hours worked per week at each job. I had the title, location and the month and year I started and the month and year I left the position. Can they rate me ineligible because I did NOT state hours worked per week in each position on my resume?
A:
What is unclear is whether the job announcement required you to state number of hours worked each week. If it did, then yes, you can be rated ineligible.
