FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT:
Effective April 25, 2011, we will deploy the use of the USA Staffing (USAS) recruitment tool for internal and external applicants. All applicants will apply for vacancies using USAJOBS and will now be rated against the same assessment tool via a resume and referred to the selecting supervisor on one certificate; with all applicants being evaluated on an equivalent basis. All applicants will have their qualifying experience determined prior to referral to the selecting supervisor. If the applicant is substituting education for experience or there is a mandatory education requirement, the education and any required licensure or certification, as well as veterans' preference (if applicable), must be submitted in the application package.
1 - USAJOBS:
http://www.usajobs.gov
Once an applicant has established a USAJOBS account, the applicant is able to create and store up to 5 resumes and submit different resumes for different vacancies on the same day. When an applicant has located a vacancy announcement for which he or she wishes to apply, he or she may apply by clicking on the "Apply Online" button located at the bottom of the page. USAJOBS will provide a field that contains the list of the resumes and the applicant is able to choose which resume to use for this specific vacancy. Once the resume is selected, the browser then takes the applicant to "Application Manager" for account setup, any Biographic Information updates and completion of the "Online Questionnaire" (answering the assessment questions linked to that vacancy announcement).
Under the Upload Documents Tab, the applicant is also able to upload additional documents, (e.g., another resume; other required supporting documentation, etc.)
Application Manager:
If the applicant prefers to provide a resume that is prepared outside of USAJOBS, the applicant may begin the process by following the instructions under the "How to Apply" tab of the announcement.
Under Option A, the applicant can click on the "Online Questionnaire" link to access "Application Manager," create an account and resume, and apply for the announcement.
Under Option B, if it is not possible for the applicant to use "Application Manager", the following instructions must be used:
1. Print a copy of this job announcement in order to read the questions offline.
2. Obtain and print a copy of the OPM Form 1203-FX to provide questionnaire answers at
http://www.opm.gov/Forms/pdf_fill/OPM1203fx.pdf (2.5MB) or by calling USAJOBS by Phone at (703) 724-1850; after the introduction, press 1, and listen for instructions. Optional information may be omitted; however, all required questions must have responses.
3. Submit the Form 1203-FX, resume, and any supporting documents by fax. Do not use a separate cover sheet - simply make sure the Form 1203-FX is on top of any other documents being faxed. If there is no Form 1203-FX on top, applicant must use the official cover sheet at
http://staffing.opm.gov/pdf/usascover.pdf. Fill the coversheet out completely and clearly. The fax number is 1-478-757-3144. Feed all documents into the fax machine top first so that they are received right-side up.
For difficulty accessing "Application Manager", visit the following website http://eshelp.opm.gov/robo/projects/appman001/

2 - Application Status:
To see the most current status of an application, use "Application Manager". USAJOBS does not provide the most current status of an application. USAJOBS Online Application History just shows a status of "Application Started". Whereas, in Application Manager, the "Main Menu" will display all Application Packages with the most current status report. This area will show an applicant if the application process is completed.
An applicant can actively search for AFPC vacancy announcements at http://jobsearch.USAJOBS.opm.gov/agency_search.asp by entering "AFPC" in the "Department/Agency Name" field or by selecting "Air Force Personnel Center" from list of Department, Independent Agency, Bureau or Organizational Sub-Component names in the next field. An applicant may receive information about vacancies meeting his or her interests by using the OPM job notification service "Job Search Agents," available through the "My USAJOBS" account.
