Contact Us South Dakota Human Resources Office NRCS is Looking For a Few Good Men and WomenJob Hunting TipsKSA GuidePositive Education RequirementsNRCS Vacancies in South DakotaIt is our practice to announce each of our vacancies in two different ways. You will often see Vacancy Announcement Numbers like NRCS 07-SD-007A and NRCS 07-SD-007B to indicate these two ways. A Vacancy Announcement like NRCS 07-SD-007A will have the suffix "Merit Promotion" after the title of the job being filled. It is open to current and former Federal employees, (commonly referred to as Status candidates), Career Transition Assistance Program CTAP/ICTAP Eligibles; Veterans Employment Opportunities (VEOA), and those who are eligible for special hiring authorities (i.e., Veterans' Recruitment Appointment (VRA); Handicap; Peace Corps; Volunteers In Service to America (VISTA); 30% Disabled Veteran) A Vacancy Announcement like NRCS 07-SD-007B will have the suffix "Delegated Examining Unit" after the title of the job being filled. It is open to all U.S. Citizens. You may see the term "Non-Status" candidates used to distinguish between all U.S. Citizens and the Status candidates covered in the category above. An applicant can apply under both announcements by submitting a separate application for each. It is recommended that you clearly label each application package with the number of the announcement you are applying for.
