My name is Cal Brackin and I am 22 years old. I am graduating from the
University of Oregon this spring and looking for a firefighting job for the
summer season. I am athletic, enjoy the outdoors and working hard. I'm a
hockey player and work well in team environments. I have no firefighting
experience, but have worked in labor intensive jobs for the majority of past
summers. I grew up in Wyoming and am keen with the outdoor, adventuring,
Rocky Mountains backpacking lifestyle.
I am willing to relocate to any state and would be overjoyed to get a job
digging trenches, working for several weeks straight for endless hours, and
roughing it the entire time. My graduation ceremony is on the 12th of June
and I'd be ready to work on the 14th.

| 6/29/07 |
2007, Department of Interior DOI Fire Integrated Recruitment Employment
System (FIRES)/QuickHire, will be integrated with the Office of Personnel
Management's USA JOBS website. This integration will make it easier and more
efficient for you to apply for Federal positions and manage your online
applications.
This process will allow you, as an applicant to:
* Create and store up to five resumes online
* Create search agents to receive email notifications for new job postings
throughout the government
* Use one login to apply for jobs with Federal organizations which are
integrated with USAJOBS
* Track the status of jobs you have applied for through USAJOBS in one
central location
To prepare for this change and familiarize yourself with the new process, we
recommend you create an account on USAJOBS (www.usajobs.opm.gov). If you
have not applied for a Federal vacancy posting using USAJOBS, you
will need to create a new account, consisting of personal information, user
id and password, and at least one Federal resume. If you are already
registered in the USAJOBS system you do not need to re-register. Once
established, your USAJOBS account will enable you to post multiple resumes
online, apply to jobs with agencies that are integrated with USAJOBS, and
receive automated job alerts.
Please be aware that after August 1, 2007, the information you have in DOI
FIRES, including your resume, will no longer be available. In addition, New
Job listings will no longer be sent from DOI FIRES.
Here are some quick tips on the USAJOBS Registration process (www.usajobs.opm.gov):
Once at USAJOBS, select the MY USAJOBS option and click "Create Your Account
Now!"
1. Establish account information
You will first be prompted to provide contact information, establish user
access information and provide citizenship and Veterans' preference
information. After providing this information, you will be taken to your new
personal page where you can choose to create a new resume or set up email
notification agents to alert you to new jobs posted to USAJOBS.
2. Create and Store a Resume
Follow the instructions to create your new resume on USAJOBS using the
Resume Builder provided. The resume builder consists of four steps: Getting
Started; Experience; Related Information and Finishing Up. Resumes created
on USAJOBS will be centrally stored and can be used to apply for other
vacancies within the Federal government. An added benefit: You can store up
to 5 resumes on USAJOBS! Please note: In order to use your current DOI FIRES
resume to populate your new USAJOBS resume, you must first retrieve it from
DOI FIRES.
Your DOI FIRES resume will no longer be available after August 1, 2007.
3. Create a Job Search Agent (Email notification)
USAJOBS allows the creation of up to 10 different search agents to receive
email notification of new jobs postings that may be of interest to you.
These notifications can be set up to send you job postings available
throughout the entire Federal government if you wish.
USAJOBS email notification agent(s) will replace any notification
preferences you may have set up in DOI FIRES.
4. Apply for jobs After establishing your USAJOBS account and creating at
least one resume, you are ready to apply for new positions. When you find a
job of interest, simply login to USAJOBS and follow the instructions
provided in the vacancy announcement to complete the application process!
Additional information on the application process can be found at:

Unemployed: Lessons Learned: For all you "old timers" watch out for the
potential new requirement to have your job applications IN THE HANDS OF
HUMAN RESOURCES/PERSONNEL by the CLOSE OF BUSINESS the day the job
announcement closes! It wasn't listed all that well in the "how to apply"
section: so watch out!
No longer is getting it postmarked and IN THE MAIL by the closing date
correct all the time. Be sure to find out before you apply. Good luck
everyone trying to get hired this spring: it's gonna be tough!! Liz in TX |
| 1/13/05 | To those applying for federal jobs:
Make sure that when you fill out applications online that you are careful
to check your application for mistakes. I just spent half an hour on the
phone trying to rectify a mistake I submitted. Because of this, I probably
won't even be considered for a job that I am qualified for. Don't mean to
scare you, but heads up when filling out online applications - once the
computer sorts you out, it is almost impossible to override it.

| 12/10/05 | To anyone planning on applying on the BLM quickhire website, make sure
you
do not exceed the max number of characters allowed. I had to type my
resume approximately 15 times before it occurred to me why my resume
was not being saved. 500 characters means 500 characters.
Thanks, good luck
