USAJOBS web site is utilized to apply
for Federal employment. 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. Changes have been
made for this revision to better meet the requirements of the
Presidential Hiring Reform Memorandum dated May 11 2010. In
addition, the updates proposed in this revision are in line with
the provisions set forth in the Executive Order to Promote
Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce signed August 18,
2011.

The U.S. Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) has cancelled the Optional Application for Federal
Employment. The information contained in the OF 612 is now
incorporated in the online Resume Builder and Applicant Progile on
the USAJOBS® Web site. The need to maintain the OF 612 as an
alternative means of applying for Federal positions no longer
exists as job seekers now have the ability to build and store
resumes electronically and reuse them without having to complete an
OF-612 each time they are applying for Federal employment. This
action is being taken to facilitate a more seamless employment
application process for both Federal agencies and job seekers,
consistent with the goals of Federal hiring reform.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
