New Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) Civilian External Application Process Published Sept. 18, 2007 By Courtesy of the 435th Mission Support Squadron RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany -- Effective 4 Sept 07, AFPC Employment website no longer posts or accepts resumes for external vacancies. Applicants now need to apply via OPM USAJOBS website. In order to receive consideration, applicants must apply directly for vacancies in which they are interested by using the procedures contained in the "How to Apply" section of each vacancy announcement. Some significant changes include: Applicants can now store up to 5 resumes under OPM USAJOBS with the ability of submitting different resumes for different vacancies on the same day. Applicants may also fax application packages to OPM. The last day applicants could self-nominate for External vacancies posted on AFPC Employment website was 31 Aug 07. Applicants may continue to check the current status of their current self-nomination by logging into http://ask.afpc.randolph.af.milcivemploy. Beginning the last week of September, selecting officials will receive external referral certificates issued to them via the OPM USA staffing recruitment rather than the current CPDSS Web Certificate application. The AFPC Staffing Units will provide additional information and account access to selecting officials when a referral certificate is issued. AFPC will continue to send HR Advisories to all subscribers to publicize the upcoming change.
