APPLICATION MANAGER

October 2011 www.donhr.navy.mil Application Manager

Application Manager and USAJOBS are the Federal job application systems of choice for the Department of

the Navy. If a job opportunity announcement posted on USAJOBS requires the completion of an assessment

questionnaire, applicants will be directed to an area referred to as Application Manager. In addition to

guiding applicants through assessments, Application Manager provides numerous features and benefits to

applicants.

System Features

Application Manager enables applicants to complete, submit and track their application packages. Applicants

are guided through the process of completing the assessment questionnaire and uploading the required

documents. The system provides access to previously submitted application packages and displays the status

of the application in detail.

Benefits to the Applicant

Viewing or printing assessment responses and any of the documents submitted with an application effectively

prepares the applicant for interviews. To apply for a new job announcement, simply reuse previously

submitted documents and answers to assessments instead of starting from scratch.

Completing Applications with Application Manager

To complete your application, you need to create an Application Manager account at

https://ApplicationManager.gov

Follow the instructions in the Navigation Box to complete the application:

o Complete the biographic and eligibility information, and the Assessment Questionnaire

o Upload documents – if not already attached, attach a resume and other supporting documents

o Submit your answers – review and submit the final application package

To review the status of application packages, go to ‘My Application Packages’ on the main page

NOTE: The first time you access Application Manager, you will be required to enter your Social Security

Number and your full name. It is extremely important to accurately enter this information (if you do not enter

the correct SSN, it will affect your application consideration).

CREATE A FEDERAL JOB RESUME IN USAJOBS

October 2011 www.donhr.navy.mil Create a Federal resume in USA JOBS

Why invest your time and effort creating a Federal resume?

Federal resumes differ from private sector resumes. Federal resumes require detailed information about your

specific work experience and other job-related information. Because Federal human resources (HR)

professionals operate under various Federal employment laws, rules and regulations, they cannot infer from

your previous Navy Ratings or job titles your applicable experience. It is up to you to describe your past

work experience and detail how you qualify for the jobs to which you apply.

The USAJOBS resume builder (available after you create a USAJOBS account at www.USAJOBS.gov) will

prompt you to enter all the necessary information to create a Federal resume. There are resources available in

the “Transitioning Service Member Employment Checklist” that will provide you with further assistance.

This is especially important when writing detailed descriptions of your work experience - both paid and

unpaid.

Some great resources include:

Fleet and Family Service Centers (FFSC) – FFSC staff can assist with Federal resume writing,

resume review and tips.

Shipmate to Workmate (SM2WM) – Employment counselors who will mentor Sailors on the civilian

hiring process. These consultants may be reached at [email protected].

Online training sessions offered by TurboTAP at http://www.turbotap.org/register.tpp. This site

offers various resume writing sessions, including those focused on decoding your military skills for

civilian employers.

Resume writing tips are offered at

http://www.public.navy.mil/donhr/Employment/CivJobOpps/Pages/AllAboutYou.aspx.

MAKE YOUR RESUME SEARCHABLE

October 2011 www.donhr.navy.mil Make Your Resume Searchable

What is a “searchable” USAJOBS resume?

As a job applicant, you may use USAJOBS (www.USAJOBS.gov) to create and store up to five resumes

along with your Federal job searches.

Federal human resources (HR) professionals often serve as a source for finding candidates for possible job

consideration. If you designate one of your USAJOBS resumes as “searchable,” you allow your resume to be

searchable and viewable by Federal HR professionals. You may choose not to designate your resume as

searchable until you are finished polishing your resume.

How do you make your USAJOBS resumes searchable?

1. Log into your USAJOBS account and go to My Account, Resumes.

2. From the Resumes page, select the resume that you would like to designate as searchable by the Federal

HR professionals and click on the “Make Searchable” option:

3. Your resume status will show “Searchable:”

Note: You may decide to remove the searchable feature at any time by clicking on “Make Non-Searchable”

option.

MILITARY EXPERIENCE TO FEDERAL JOBS CROSSWALK

____________________________________________________________________________

October 2011 www.donhr.navy.mil Page 1 of 3

Before searching for Federal jobs, find out how your military occupation ratings relate to Federal occupational codes

The Department of the Navy military service occupations are codified into “Ratings;” Federal civilian service

occupations are codified into a 4-digit “Job Series.”

Searching for jobs using Ratings-to-Job Series crosswalk

1. Go to the State of Maryland’s Mil2Fedjobs website at

http://www.mil2fedjobs.com/mil_search.aspx and initiate the search by entering your military

service information.

Screenshot Example: Mil2Fedjobs search

2. Review the Mil2Fedjobs search result to determine which Federal Job Series best reflect your overall skills

and experience.

The following screenshot shows Federal Job (Occupational) Series related to Navy Enlisted ABF – Aviation

Boatswain’s Mate (Fuels).

From the example, note various potentially related Federal Job Series – from 0081 (Fire Protection and

Prevention) to 5413 (Fuel Distribution System Operating). Review the matches and, if you would like to

better explore current job annoucements for a particuluar Job Series, click on the related “Search USAJOBS

Now” link provided on the right-most column.

Screenshot Example: Mil2Fedjobs – Navy Enlisted ABF search

3. Once in USAJOBS site, you may further refine or narrow your job search by using additional parameters

such as job location, hiring agencies, salary, etc.

If you have hiring eligibility other than “U.S. Citizen” such as Veterans Employment Opportunity

Act (VEOA), be sure to check “Jobs for Federal Employees” option. (Yes, the label is misleading

and clicking on help (?) link explains this.) If you do not take this step, you may miss out on

finding jobs that you may be eligible to apply. Note that if you first log in to your USAJOBS

account and conduct your job search; the system will automatically select the right option for you

based on the responses you provided under USAJOBS – My Account – Profile – Hiring

Eligibility section. (See the “Veterans Hiring Authorities” tip sheet for related

information.)

4. Finally, once you have refined your job search, let USAJOBS email you future job opportunity

announcement postings that meet your desired job requirements.

The search parameters used in this example are:

1. “Jobs for Federal Employees” (or anyone with

hiring eligibilities as explained under the help (?) link)

2. “electrician” keyword

3. “Department of Defense” hiring agency

Click on the link “Save this search and email

me jobs” to begin the Saved Search process.

READ THE JOB OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT

____________________________________________________________________________

October 2011 www.donhr.navy.mil Page 1 of 3

Before applying to any Federal job opportunity announcement, carefully read and follow its instructions.

1. Job Overview

The overview area focuses on basic job information such as job title, hiring organization, pay, type of

employment (e.g., full time vs. part time, career/permanent vs. time-limited), job location, and who may be

cosidered for the position.

Example of an announcement overview

2. Key Requirements

This section outlines special job requirements or conditions of employment. Ask yourself: Are you willing to

or will you be able to meet such requirements?

Example

Pay attention to the “Who May Be

Considered” information. If you do

not meet the eligibility specified

under this section, your application

may not be considered.

Refer to the “Veterans Hiring

Authorities” tip sheet for more

information.

Page 10: Separation Tip Sheets USAJobs.gov and Navy career wise & new dd 2648

READ THE JOB OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT

____________________________________________________________________________

October 2011 www.donhr.navy.mil Page 2 of 3

3. Qualifications Required This area addresses essential job knowledge, skills, abilities (sometimes referred to as KSAs or competencies)

and, in certain cases, education required for the position.

Thoroughly read this section and ask yourself: Do I meet the outlined requirements? If yes, are they

addressed in my resume and/or application package? If not, make the necessary changes. Federal human

resources (HR) professionals will not know what qualifications you possess unless you specifically address

them in your resume and other documents required by the announcement.

Example

4. How You Will Be Evaluated Note that most Federal job opportunity announcements, including those posted by the Department of the

Navy, will require you to complete an assessment questionnaire. Preview the assessment questions (normally

a link to a separate page from the announcement) before applying.

Just as with the information contained under the Qualifications Required area, ensure that what you are

claiming in your responses to the questions are reflected in your resume and other required application

documents, as appropriate. Federal HR professionals will review your resume and other required application

documents and compare them against your responses before making the qualification determination.

5. How to Apply Most jobs posted on USAJOBS allow applications to be initiated directly from USAJOBS announcement

posting via its Apply Online button. Before you click on that button, be sure to read the required job

application documents.

If you do not provide all the required documents, your application will be considered incomplete and you will

not be considered for the position.

Example of required documents for an announcement

Page 12: Separation Tip Sheets USAJobs.gov and Navy career wise & new dd 2648

SAVE YOUR DOCUMENTS IN USAJOBS

October 2011 www.donhr.navy.mil Save Your Documents in USAJOBS

Save commonly required job application documents in USAJOBS. The Department of the Navy, like most

Federal agencies, requires applicants to submit certain documents to determine your eligibility and

qualifications for the job. It is also recommended that applicants bring copies of documents with them to

career fairs.

For veterans, commonly required documents include DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from

Active Duty and SF 15, Application For 10-Point Veterans Preference. Other documents may include

Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART) transcripts, college transcripts,

and professional license or certifications.

The USAJOBS Saved Documents feature (available once you create an account at www.USAJOBS.gov) will

allow you to store up to 10 documents in this area. During your USAJOBS application process, you will be

prompted to select one or more of the saved documents to include in your application package.

VETERAN HIRING AUTHORITIES

____________________________________________________________________________

October 2011 www.donhr.navy.mil Page 1 of 3

Why do you need to know your veteran hiring eligibilities?

This information is critical because your veteran hiring eligibility (also referred to as appointment/appointing

authority), or eligibilities (you may be eligible for more than one category), will provide you the opportunity

to gain employment with the Federal civilian government, to include the Department of Defense as well as

the Department of Navy, Air Force and Army.

In the Federal government, hiring managers may choose various recruitment methods and areas of

consideration. These methods are governed by Federal civilian employment law, rules and regulations.

Two most common recruitment methods are Delegated Examining (DE) and Merit Promotion:

Under DE, anyone from the general public – defined generally as any U.S. citizen – may apply.

Under Merit Promotion, you must meet the hiring eligibility requirements specified under the “Who

May Be Considered” section of the job opportunity announcement.

Make note of another commonly used Federal civil service term: “status” applicants. “Status” refers

to an individual that is a current or former employee who was appointed in the competitive service of

the Federal government on a permanent basis.

Here’s a screenshot of a job opportunity announcement:

For this particular job

opportunity announcement,

applicants who are eligible for

appointment under one of the

identified hiring eligibilities

may be considered: Current

Federal employees; VEOA

(Veterans Employment

Opportunity Act) eligibles; or

ICTAP (Interagency Career

Transition Assistance Plan).

VETERAN HIRING AUTHORITIES

____________________________________________________________________________

October 2011 www.donhr.navy.mil Page 2 of 3

How do you find out about your Federal hiring eligibilities?

Veterans hiring eligibilities include Veterans Recruitment Appointment (VRA), 30% Disabled Veterans, and

Veterans Employment Opportunity Act (VEOA). Determine your eligibility by accessing the Department of

the Navy Civilian Human Resources website at:

www.public.navy.mil/donhr/Employment/HiringReform1/common%20hiring%20definitions.pdf or the

Department of Labor Veterans’ Preference Advisor website at: http://www.dol.gov/elaws/vetspref.htm

When you create your USAJOBS user account at www.USAJOBS.gov go to the Profile link.

Choose the hiring eligibility link to include your citizenship status and your military service. Be sure to

carefully read and provide your response to the USAJOBS hiring eligibility questions, especially those

pertaining to your military service.

The below examples depict what you may expect in USAJOBS. Note that as a veteran, you will be prompted

to upload documents supporting your military service such as DD 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge

from Active Duty), or SF 15 (Application for 10-point Veteran Preference). Be sure to obtain an electronic

copy of your documents.

Screenshot Example 1. USAJOBS My Account – Profile – Hiring Eligibility

Screenshot Example 2: USAJOBS My Account – Profile – Hiring Eligibility – Veteran

When you answer

“yes” to question #3,

this area will expand

to include follow-up

questions, beginning

with question #3.1.

Determine your veteran’s preference eligibility by going to the Department of Labor’s Veterans’

Preference Advisor site at http://www.dol.gov/elaws/vets/vetpref/mservice.htm.

Note that veterans’ preference is not the same as Veterans Recruitment Appointment (VRA) hiring

eligibility. Under certain recruitment methods - such as Delegated Examining that are open to all U.S.

citizens - veterans who qualify as preference eligibles receive preference over many other applicants.

Command Career Counselors Quick Guide to Success for Navy Reserve Affiliation/Enlistment

As we continue to shape the force to meet mission requirements, efforts to fully integrate the Navy Reserve requires a level of experience held only by active duty Sailors. Reserve affiliation/enlistment makes us a stronger Navy by capitalizing on skills and experience that we have helped develop and provides the transitioning Sailor with additional monthly income, bonuses in some ratings, professional training, and continued medical and dental benefits. 1. Navy Reserve Force. Click here to view the Commander, Navy Reserve

Forces Homeport Website for program information and benefits. If you are a new to the Navy Reserve, click on the subsections on the left of the page to learn about the Navy Reserve, Reserve Sailors, Reserve Families, view PODcast’s, and read the current Reserve magazine The Navy Reservists (TNR). Click the sign in button at the top of the page for a Common Access Card (CAC) login to the private side of the web page.

c. For additional information on Navy Reserve Military Pay and Benefits click here.

2. Navy Reserve Participation

. Prior active service Sailors who voluntarily participate will normally perform four Inactive Duty Training (IDT) periods per month (regular/flexible), minimum of four hours each (called drills) and 12-17 days of Annual Training (AT) per fiscal year. Reserve pay is based on a per drill pay scale equivalent to one day basic pay for each drill performed. Two days (4 drills) equals four days basic pay. Additionally, Selected Reservists (SELRES) may be entitled to special pays including Aviation Career Incentive Pay/Career Enlisted Flight Incentive Pay, and Funeral Honor Detail Allowance. Annual Training may entitle SELRES to basic pay, Foreign Language Proficiency Bonus, additional allowances and Travel Pay.

3. Navy Reserve Retirement. To qualify upon application for non-regular-retired pay at age 60, a member must have completed 20 years of qualifying service unless otherwise provided by law. The last 6 years of such qualifying service must be in a Reserve component for members who have earned 20 or more years of qualifying service on or before 24 April 2005. There is no requirement that the last 6 years be continuous service. For members who complete 20 years of qualifying service on or after 25

Page 23: Separation Tip Sheets USAJobs.gov and Navy career wise & new dd 2648

April 2005, the last 6 years of qualifying service in a Reserve component is not a requirement to qualify for non-regular retired pay. ***Satisfactory Service*** A Naval Reservist must earn a minimum of 50 retirement points in an anniversary year to be credited with a year of satisfactory service for retirement purposes. The requirement for a qualifying year for retirement purposes should not be confused with satisfactory drill participation. Members must perform a minimum of 12 to 14 days Annual Training (AT) each fiscal year when AT is required.

(1) Year Policy Execution Guidance Notice. Active Duty/AT. One point for each day of active duty or AT (including travel time).

(2) Drills. One point for each authorized drill attended (pay or non-pay status). A maximum of four retirement points may be credited for each drill weekend

(3) Correspondence Courses. Varying point credited for completion of approved correspondence courses. Refer to the Catalog of Courses listed on The Non-Resident Training Courses (NRTC) website. For those of you who are seasoned veterans of the old NRTC website, you will find all your Active Courses, Course Registration, Completion Letter, Profile and other student services under the "Student Service" menu listed on the site. For those who are new to the system, go to the "Course Registration" page. Here you will be able to register for new courses. Your assignments will be listed under the "Active Courses" menu option. For any additional help, please contact the NRTC help desk on the page.

(4) Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) eLearning Courses. This link, CAC enabled, is to a printable list of eLearning courses offering "RECOMMENDED" reserve points. NOTE: Commander Navy Reserve Forces (CNRF) N7 determines the number of reserve points awarded for completion of a course taken on Navy eLearning. This listing should only be used as a guide and is subject to change by direction of CNFR N7. Navy eLearning has no control over how many, if any, reserve points are eventually awarded for the completion of a course. All questions concerning the award of reserve points should be directed to CNFR N7.

(5) Membership Points. Fifteen points credited for each complete year of active status membership in a Reserve component. • Note: No more than 130 points per anniversary year can be

credited from drills, correspondence courses and membership. • Example. An E-5 with four years of active duty service receives

1,460 points. If the member drills for 16 years and averages 90 points per anniversary year to reach 20 years of qualifying service, that member will receive an additional 2080 points for an accumulative total of 3540 points.

• The formula for computing retirement pay granted under 10 USC 12731 and 1401 is:

P/360 x .025 x B = $ /monthly P denotes total number of retirement points and B denotes applicable Basic Pay in Grade in which retired. To utilize the Pay and Compensation calculator and estimate your reserve retirement pay click here. When you receive retired pay, reservists on the Navy Reserve Retired list are eligible for additional benefits (i. e. TRICARE)
