Preferred But Not Required
All preferred qualifications are optional and are not minimum requirements for the position.
These preferred skills do not increase the complexity of the offered position and do not elevate the wage level.
Wage Level Justification
This posting is classified using the worksheet method from the DOL's 2009 Prevailing Wage Determination Policy Guidance (see Wage Level Determination). Baseline occupation: Financial Risk Specialists (O*NET-SOC 13-2054.00), Job Zone 4 — experience range over 2 and up to 4 years; usual education: Bachelor's degree.
Compared with the Level I posting, this posting adds two minimum requirements:
- Experience (Step 2): more than two years of professional experience falls in the low end of the Job Zone 4 range (over 2 and up to 4 years), adding +1 — the guidance's own Job Zone 4 example scores a Software Engineer requirement of 3 years (low end of the range) at +1.
- Special skills (Step 4): Mandarin-English bilingual communication is a foreign-language requirement, generally treated as a special skill, adding +1 — the guidance's own example scores a customer service position requiring Chinese-English bilingual skills at +1.
The required Excel, SQL, and BI-tool skills are covered by the occupation's O*NET Tasks and Technology Skills baseline, so they add no Step 4 points. The FRM / CFA / PRM / CPA certifications and the MBA are listed under Preferred Skills only; preferred qualifications are not minimum requirements and do not score, so the education requirement remains the occupation's usual Bachelor's degree (Step 3 +0).
| Worksheet step | Level I posting | This posting | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step 2 Experience | No prior professional work experience required | More than two years — low end of the Job Zone 4 range | +1 |
| Step 3 Education | Bachelor's degree | Bachelor's degree (certifications / MBA preferred only, not scored) | +0 |
| Step 4 Special Skills | Mandarin preferred only | Mandarin and English required as a minimum qualification — foreign-language special skill; SQL and BI tools are covered by the O*NET baseline | +1 |
| Step 5 Supervisory Duties | None | None | +0 |
Starting at Level I (1) + 2 points = Level III.
