Abstract: 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.

Short Statement: 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.
