FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT:
Effective 4 September 2007, all External vacancy announcements for federal employment with the U.S. Air Force, Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee, will be accomplished through the OPM USAJOBS web site. The Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) will no longer post these announcements on the AFPC Employment website or accept resumes for job consideration for External vacancies via the AFPC Resume Writer.

What does this mean for external applicants? If you are applying electronically online (the preferred method), you will be required to apply using one of the following options:

1 - USAJOBS: http://www.usajobs.gov/contact.asp

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 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", send an email to ApplicationManagerHelpDesk@opm.gov or visit the following web-site http://eshelp.opm.gov/robo/projects/appman001/getting_more_help.htm.

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.

For more information on the OPM USAJOBS website, Resume Builder or searching for vacancy announcements using USAJOBS, visit the OPM USAJOBS website at http://www.USAJOBS.gov/contact.asp.

Note: The last day to self-nominate for External vacancy announcements posted on the AFPC Employment Website is August 31st, 2007. Applicants may continue to check the status of his or her self-nominations at http://ask.afpc.randolph.af.mil/civemploy.
