micro1 is looking for former Consular Officers and Passport Specialists to help evaluate and improve AI systems on passport and citizenship topics. You’ll use your State Department experience to check that questions sound like real applicants and that answers are correct on complex cases. Accuracy comes first. No AI experience is needed; your domain knowledge is what matters.
Scope of Work
- Review sample passport and citizenship questions and flag any that don’t sound like what real people ask.
- Write rubrics that define a correct, complete answer for complex cases, such as lost, stolen, or damaged passports, name changes, and citizenship documentation.
- Cover situations involving minors, custody, and applicants born or living abroad in your rubrics.
- Evaluate AI-generated answers against your rubrics, flagging errors, omissions, and outdated guidance.
- Share clear written feedback with the project team, working asynchronously.
Required Qualifications
- Former State Department experience in a passport agency (Passport Specialist/Adjudicator) or consular section (Consular Officer)
- 1+ years adjudicating or advising on passport or citizenship matters
- Working knowledge of citizenship and nationality rules and passport eligibility
- US-based
- Able to start quickly and commit 20-30 hours/week
- Clear, precise writing
Nice to Have
- Experience with document fraud detection
- Experience with name change and identity documentation cases
- Experience creating guides, FAQs, or training materials
- Experience helping a diverse range of applicants, including non-English-speaking customers

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for micro1. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
