Search Tips
Announcements Open To
Each vacancy announcement includes an Area of Consideration from which the selecting official can reasonably expect to receive an adequate number of qualified candidates.  Based on your current employment status, you can use the drop down list to select the type of announcements you wish to view.  If your selection contradicts your current employment status, you may retrieve announcements in which you are not eligible to apply.

Announcement Number Containing
Announcement number containing allows you to search for vacancy announcements by the entire number or part of an announcement number.  For example, type the entire number to retrieve a specific announcement; or type 12345 to retrieve a list of all current vacancy announcements containing 12345.

To limit your search to a specific region, type in a region’s 3-character identifier.  For example, type the regional identifier AAL to retrieve a list of all current vacancy announcements in the Alaskan region.

To limit your search to a Line of Business (LOB), type in an LOB's 3-character identifier.  For example, type the LOB identifier AAD to retrieve a list of all current vacancy announcements in the Administration line of business.

Title Containing
Title containing allows you to search for vacancy announcements by job title or partial title.  For example, type "sec" to retrieve a list of all current vacancies that contain "sec" in the title, such as secretary or security officer.  The more specific you are the shorter the list you will receive.

Series
A series is a number which identifies a group of similar jobs. For example, 318 is the series for secretary or 2152 is the series for air traffic controller.  From the drop down list, select a number to limit your search to vacancies in a given series.

Grade/Level
Two characters which identify the range of difficulty and responsibility, as well as the level of qualification requirements for a vacancy.  Select a Grade/Level from the drop down list to limit your search to a specific grade/level.  To maximize your search for vacancies, you may also want to complete the pay band, job category, or desired salary fields.

Pay Band
Under the new compensation system, each pay band represents a salary range.  In accordance with the pay band rates, you may select a Pay Band from the drop down list.  Not all jobs will have a pay band association.  To maximize your search for all vacancies, you may also want to complete the grade, job category, and/or desired salary fields.

Job Category
Under the new compensation system, job series are grouped together into job categories, based on the similarity of duties and responsibilities.  There are nine job categories:  Administrative Support, Clerical Support, Engineering, Paraprofessional, Professional, Specialized, Student, Technical, and Technical Support.   Using the drop down list, select a category that best describes the grouping of duties and responsibilities of your desired vacancy.  Not all jobs will have a job category association.  To maximize your search for vacancies, you may also want to complete the grade, pay band, and/or desired salary fields.

Desired Annual Salary
From the drop down list, you may select your desired annual salary rate.  To select a desired salary rate, click on the arrow to the right of the "desired annual salary" option to display the dropdown list and click on your selection.

State
To select a state, click on the arrow to the right of the state option to display the dropdown list and click on your selection.  Select a state to limit your search to current vacancy announcements in that state.

Nationwide Announcements
Nationwide Vacancy Announcements are used to fill positions in FAA facilities everywhere. If you are only interested in certain locations or facilities, you will be able to specify where you wish to be considered when you apply, even on a Nationwide Announcement.

Opened
The time period when the announcement opened for public viewing. For example, by selecting "Last Week", only announcements that have opened within the last 7 days will be displayed. By default, all opened announcements will be displayed.
