How current are the resumes and profiles?

A job seeker must choose to make their resume and profile searchable in their USAJOBS profile for it to appear in ATP.

When a job seeker chooses to make their resume searchable in USAJOBS, it will remain searchable in ATP for 18 months. For example, if a user makes their resume searchable on 4/1/21, it will expire on 10/1/22.

Do resumes and profiles expire?

Yes. Resumes and profiles expire after 18 months and we will no longer display them in ATP. Before the 18 months is up, a job seeker can extend their resume for one more year. For example, if a job seeker extends their resume on 6/1/21, it will now expire on 6/1/22.

What does the last updated date mean?

The Last updated date shows the last time a job seeker has updated their resume or profile. Even if the job seeker extends for one more year, if they made no changes to their resume or profile, the Last updated date will still reflect their original upload date.

Can a job seeker choose to not be searchable?

Yes. A job seeker can choose to no longer make their profile and resume searchable. When this happens, we will no longer display them in ATP.

What if a job seeker is in a campaign and their resume expires?

If a job seeker is in a campaign and their resume expires, or they choose to no longer be searchable, they will remain in the campaign, but you will no longer see the resume.
