There is a Resource Room at the Peterson Family Support Center
that provides computers to update your resume or cover letters, job listings,
general employment information and video-based courses to upgrade
skills.
PLEASE NOTE: For job hunting purposes, be sure to
bring with you all employment records and information, resumes, federal
employment application, transcripts, certificates, licenses, SF-50 and letters

Interested in civilian employment with the Air
Force? Not sure where to begin? Read on for step-by-step
instructions on the Air Force's automated application process.
The Air
Force has automated its application process through a program called RESUMIX,
which allows volumes of resumes to be easily stored and retrieved without
maintaining paper files. Go to the Air Force Personnel Center's web
site to obtain a job kit. (See Contacts/Links for the address.)This
kit will walk you through the process of completing a RESUMIX.
The
process of applying for Air Force employment is simple, involving only three
steps (the 3 S's):
1. Submit a properly formatted resume and supplemental
data
2. Search job vacancy announcements
3. Self-nominate
Submit a
resume. To be considered for Air Force civil service employment, you
first submit your resume and supplemental data to the Air Force Personnel Center
(AFPC). The Air Force requires that your resume be "pre-positioned"
or on file and active at AFPC before you begin the application
process. Therefore, you should submit a properly formatted resume and
supplemental data as soon as possible. Do not wait until a job
vacancy is announced ? it takes the Recruitment Service Center approximately
5-work days to process your resume once received. Once processed,
your resume is placed into RESUMIX, where it remains active for 1
year. Your resume should fully and completely identify your work
experience and education since that information is used to determine if you meet
the experience requirements and possess the knowledge, skills, and abilities
(KSAs) of the position(s) for which you self-nominate. You may only
have one resume on file at any time.
