AFMC bases implement single source staffing process Published April 6, 2011 By Debbie Gildea Air Force Personnel, Services and Manpower Public Affairs RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Beginning April 25, all Air Force Materiel Command bases and Hurlburt Field, Fla., will implement the USAJobs single source job application process currently used to fill civilian positions at all Air Force bases except Luke AFB Ariz. Officials will inform Air Force employees when Luke AFB transitions to the new process. Under the single source system civilian vacancy announcements for appropriated fund positions are posted on the Air Force civilian careers website www.afciviliancareers.com and at www.usajobs.gov. Currently, AFMC installation, Hurlburt Field and Luke AFB civilian employees use the legacy system on the AFPC website to self-nominate for positions. Hiring officials receive copies of candidate career briefs, rather than resumes, for internal employees. After April 25, only Luke AFB will continue to use the legacy system. According to Air Force civilian service marketing specialist Pat Stokes, career briefs contain cryptic codes that are sometimes difficult for supervisors to decipher. "The resume requirement levels the playing field, enabling internal applicants to provide information that a career brief may not have included, and that makes them more competitive," said Ms. Stokes. Under the single source process, every candidate will be required to submit a resume when applying for a position posted on USAJobs. Those new to the site will find a helpful resume coach on the www.afciviliancareers.com and www.usajobs.gov websites. The installation Airman and Family Readiness Center also offers resume-building assistance.
