When can I submit a resume?
You may submit or pre-position a resume at any time. In the case you are not interested in or qualified for a vacancy listed, it is strongly advisable that you submit your resume and have it processed. Make sure that you revisit the AFPC website weekly or call the IVRS at the above number for new vacancy announcements updated every Friday. Ensure that your resume information is current so you can be considered and available for a vacancy according to the guidelines set forth for that particular job.
How do I find vacancy announcements?
Announcements are available on both our Civilian Employment Web Site or by calling our Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) number: 1-800-616-3775. You may also subscribe to our Civilian Announcement Notification System (CANS) through the previously listed web site. Input your search criteria and when an announcement opens you will receive an e-mail notification. Announcements open once a week on Friday.
Do I need to submit a resume for each announcement?
No, our automated applicant supply file system (Resumix) can only maintain one resume at a time. Do not submit a separate resume for each vacancy. Once you submit a resume and it is on file all you need to do is self-nominate either by using our Civilian Employment Web Site or by calling our Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) number: 1-800-616-3775.
