SPECIAL INVITATION: Department of Transportation Call on FAA

Good afternoon,

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is launching a nation-wide air traffic control specialist (ATCS) recruitment, outreach, and education program in advance of a public vacancy announcement expected on or about February 10, 2014. There are ATCS positions available at FAA locations across the country, and the FAA encourages all interested individuals who are eligible to apply for these positions.

Because of your role in workforce development we would like to share information about the upcoming recruiting and outreach strategies in advance of a general public announcement for air traffic control specialists.

Please visit www.faa.gov/jobs/recruiting_kit/to get information that will help you and your colleagues:

·Learn about the FAA’s recruitment strategy and actions;

· Obtain information about the upcoming FAA Virtual Job Fair;

· Learn more about eligibility requirements for interested applicants;

· Understand how your organization can actively participate in our outreach & recruitment efforts.

We appreciate your assistance to reach a wide and diverse applicant pool. As your organization conducts outreach, please convey to interested applicants to act quickly. They expect to accept applications for a short two-week period starting February 10, 2014. However, applicants should not wait for the vacancy to open in order to prepare application materials, and are highly encouraged to use the resume builder available on the USAJOBS website at www.usajobs.gov.

In addition, the USAJOBS Resource Center at help.usajobs.gov/ is a good resource to learn how to build a federal resume, as well as access tips and tutorials on how to apply and interview for federal jobs.
