5/21/2012 - JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO - RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) -- Air Force Personnel Center human resources officials have expanded a self-service initiative allowing civilians to request updates to their personnel records online.

Employees can now request updates for résumés, name changes, veterans' preference for reduction in force, awards, education, training, certification and licensure.

The initiative empowers employees by eliminating the need for them to contact their local civilian personnel office to accomplish these updates. These online initiatives also make it easier for former military members to update information to their civilian employee record.

"This one-stop web location allows Air Force civilians to review their records and to submit change requests online, all without leaving their office," said Clara Howard, an AFPC human resources specialist. "More importantly, we will send civilians notifications when the updates have been completed."

One popular self-service request is the "Résumé Update" application, which allows an employee to submit a comprehensive résumé for filing in their electronic official personnel file. The résumé can be used for many human resources purposes, such as RIF, worker's compensation or management directed reassignments; all without having to go back to the employee and requesting additional information, officials said.

It's important to note, consideration for job vacancies still requires the employee to submit their résumé and associated documents to the specific job announcement on www.USAJOBS.gov.

The self-service employee updates are accomplished via the Air Force Personnel Services website. Once logged into the site, employees should: 1) select "Career Management" from the left side menu under "Learn More About;" 2) select "Self-Service" under "Career Management" in the middle of the screen; 3) select the applicable self service application and follow the instructions. Employees are required to upload appropriate documentation for the update request they are submitting.

Employees should thoroughly read the articles in AFPERS pertaining to the updates they wish to accomplish prior to submitting an update, AFPC officials said. In addition to the menu of self-service options currently available, officials said they are working to add more self-service applications in the future.

How about the option to update duties performed such as performing duties listed outside of your PD. I was floored when my CPO said the Air Force Personnel Center will no longer update your duty history.
