I am considering applying to a federal position near me. The job will be destroying Vietnam era chemical munitions. Having spent 10 years in the military, I meet most of the qualifications and requirements.
However one question from the questionnaire asks if I have experience mixing sodium bicarbonate, sodium hypochlorite, etc.
At first I thought no, but then I realized it was listing pool chemicals. Well I own a pool and work with all the chemicals every summer. How would I incorporate this experience into the resume being that it is informal experience.

I don’t think it would be wise to say yes I have experience on questionnaire but not explain in the resume.

Thank you for all the free information.
