The EXP-W Experience Worksheets
The EXP-W Experience Worksheet is used to document the applicant’s:
- Title
- Employer
- Duration of Employment
- Experience Level
- Subtotaled and Totaled Points
Years and Months Employed
Applicants need to determine the years and months employed at each position. If the hire date is before the 15th of that month, the month will count towards the total. If the hire date is after the 15th it will not. The opposite is true for the termination date. The termination date must be after the 15th of the month to count towards the total.
The following values should always be used to determine years and months employed:
For example, if an applicant was employed from: May 10, 2000 – June, 7 2004
Full Time Equivalent Percentages (FTE%)
FTE% (see example EXP worksheets) stands for Full Time Equivalent. "%FTE" is the decimal portion of time credited towards a particular experience level, and supported by the Description of GIS Related Duties and Tier I, II, III and Supervisory Bonus sections. For example, in a small GIS office, an applicant might spend 80% of their time doing application development and system maintenance and 20% of their time doing data maintenance and update. It would be appropriate for the applicant to record .8 for "GIS Programmer or Similar" and .2 for "GIS Technician or Similar".
In most cases, values entered in "%FTE" will sum to 1. In cases where an academic internship or part-time research is involved, the values in "%FTE" should sum to the appropriate proportion (e.g.: .5 for a half-time graduate research assistant, as appropriate). This proportional estimation can be applied for transitional or positions with split duties. For example, if an applicant spent 50% of their time in sales, and the balance (50%) of their time doing development work, it would be appropriate for the .5 to be applied to the category supported in the description on an EXP-P professional profile.
Years/months of employment should be entered into all categories that apply, multiplied by the appropriate number of points and added together.
Full Time vs. Part Time Work
The Full Time Equivalency Percentage (FTE%) is based on a 40-hour workweek. If the applicant works part time, the FTE% cannot exceed 50% or 0.5. If the applicant works 35 hours per week, the FTE% cannot exceed 88% or 0.88. |
