IDENTIFYING THE JOB THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU
AFCS jobs are categorized within entry, mid, and senior levels and are associated with
different qualifications, eligibility requirements, and pay grade levels. In addition, there
are jobs categorized for students, recent graduates, veterans, military spouses, for
individuals who have status, and for individuals with disabilities.
Read the USAJobs announcement or the job posting found on job boards, within social media or
within advertising or marketing materials for specific employment opportunities. You can
access these jobs from the Jobs Map above or from the Hot Jobs listing above. Pay close
attention to the instructions that will guide you through the application process, including
any specific questions that must be answered, the forms and formats that must be used to
present your resume and your qualifications and eligibility for the job. Help can be found
at

Qualifications and Eligibility
Like any employer, AFCS
expects you to be "qualified" and "eligible" when you apply for a position. Why are
these distinctions important?
Qualification is based on
education and/or experience. As with any other employer, you will need to have certain
educational and/or work experience in order to be qualified for a given position. For
example, if you apply for a physician’s position, you will need to have completed
medical school and fulfilled the related requirements. The kind of educational or
experiential background needed is always delineated in the USAJobs announcement or
social media job posting or advertising materials. Be sure you meet those expectations
before you decide to apply.
Eligibility is based on
Federal regulatory requirements that determine who can apply for specific jobs.
Eligibility requirements are found within each USAJobs announcement and within DHA jobs
posted to job boards and social media sites, as well as within advertising materials. It
is critical that you review these eligibility requirements. If you do not meet them and
you apply, you will be determined to be not qualified.

Force Civilian Employment Eligibility Guide.
