and creative ability are vital to successful work performance, samples of work or other suitable
evidence of technical competence may be required. Unpaid experience that is pertinent should be
credited based upon its relevance to the work of the particular position to be filled. To be
qualifying, the work must have involved visual communication of information or the application of
the principles of artistic design.
Experience in the
actual type of work for which application is made. Unpaid experience is creditable, provided the
work done was of a quality level and demonstrated the ability required for the position. This
includes planning the preparation and use of photographs, illustrations, drawings, and other art
work, charts, diagrams, dioramas, maps, slides, overlays, and other kinds of visual material for
use in communicating information through visual means.
