SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00105 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3879 USAJOBS is the Federal Government’s centralized source for most Federal jobs and employment information, including both positions that are required by law to be posted at that location and positions that can be posted there at an agency’s discretion. The Applicant Profile and Resume Builder are two components of the USAJOBS application system. USAJOBS reflects the minimal critical elements collected across the Federal Government to assess an applicant’s qualifications for Federal jobs under the authority of sections 1104, 1302, 3301, 3304, 3320, 3361, 3393, and 3394 of title 5, United States Code. This revision proposes to: (A.) Acknowledge the newest revision to the USAJOBS 3.0 system as USAJOBS. (B.) Make changes to the USAJOBS Applicant Profile to make the section more concise and easier for the applicant to understand and complete. Changes to the Applicant Profile include adding a new question for Willingness to relocate. New fields will be added for Telephone Extension and Name prefix and Suffix. The ‘‘Current Goal’’ field will be removed. In addition we will add and edit help language and make text and format and User Interface changes which will make the pages easier for applicants to navigate. (C.) Make changes to the USAJOBS Resume Builder that will improve navigation, make the builder both concise and easier for the applicant to complete. Changes include adding check boxes that read, ‘‘I do not wish to provide work experience’’, ‘‘I do not wish to provide education’’ and ‘‘References available upon request’’. We will also make text and user interface changes throughout the resume builder, also designed to make the pages easier for the applicant to navigate, understand and complete. ‘‘Pursuant to a separate submission, we recently modified ‘‘Do you claim Veterans’ Preference’’ to include a new option for 0-point Sole Survivorship Preference; to replace ‘‘wife’’ with spouse in the option for derived preference; and to add mother to the option for derived preference. In addition, we modified the Document Upload section to instruct current service members how to claim veterans’ preference under the VOW (Veterans Opportunity to Work) to Hire Heroes Act of 2011.’’ SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Analysis Agency: Office of Personnel Management.
