IMPORTANT OARS UPDATE:
The U.S. Geological Survey will integrate its Online Automated Recruitment System (OARS) with the Office of Personnel Management´s (OPM´s) USAJOBS website on May 16, 2008. This integration will make it easier and more efficient for you to apply for Federal positions and manage your online applications.
This change will benefit you in your job search by offering:
- A consolidated jobs database that utilizes one login to apply for vacancies throughout the USGS and other Federal organizations;
- An improved resume builder that will allow you to store up to five different resumes online;
- Search agents that will match your skills and/or interests;
- The option to receive email notifications of vacancy announcements throughout the government that meet your search criteria and;
- An Application Status Tracking feature, which will allow you to track the status of vacancies you have applied for through USAJOBS.
In order to prepare for this change and familiarize yourself with the new process, you are encouraged to register by creating a new account on USAJOBS (http://www.usajobs.gov/). If you are already an existing registered user you do not need to create a new account in USAJOBS. If however, this is your first time using USAJOBS please visit (http://www.usajobs.com/FIRSTTIMERS.ASP) for tutorials and additional information for creating a user account on USAJOBS and applying for Federal employment. In an effort to assist you, we have listed below a step-by-step process for you to follow for creating a new account in USAJOBS.
It is strongly suggested that you copy and paste your resume from OARS into USAJOBS before May 14, 2008. Please be aware that after May 14, 2008, your OARS information (i.e., resume and personal information) will no longer be available.
As stated above, the integration will occur on Friday, May 16, 2008. The USGS OARS system will be taken offline at 12:01 am Eastern Time on Thursday, May 15, 2008. Effective Friday, May 16, 2008, all USGS vacancies will be available on USAJOBS.
