REQUIRING EARLY E-RESUME SUBMISSION

TIMELINES, COMMUNICATIONS, AND OUTREACH
1. AY21 offers many assignment opportunities for officers seeking selection 
to Special Staff and Liaison positions. 
2. The shopping list of O-6 and below AY21 Special Staff Assignments 
requiring early e-resume submission is now available as a sortable 
spreadsheet on the OPM-2 Portal Site at http://cglink.uscg.mil/cb33598e. Any 
member not able to access the list should contact LCDR Jared Silverman 
(contact info below) to have the file emailed to them.  The positions listed 
require early identification of candidates to accomplish necessary background 
investigations and interviews. The selection process for many of these 
assignments requires coordination with other government departments, 
agencies, and staffs at highest level of government. Though some assignments 
may have prerequisite primary career paths, all require candidates with 
outstanding records of performance, exemplary military bearing, sharp 
appearance, and superb communication skills. Attaché and CGLO billets may 
also require a lengthy language training period. 
3. Any Special Assignment not meeting the requirements above will be 
advertised via the shopping list released in August.
4. Posting of a job does not guarantee the incumbent will be transferred in 
AY21.
5. Interested candidates need to submit an e-resume by 17 Jul 2020 via Direct 
Access. For any candidates that are not tour complete in AY21, their e-resume 
must include a Command Endorsement that specifically includes an endorsement 
for that officer to short tour and any backfill requirements. Candidates that 
are unable to access Direct Access may request consideration via e-mail, 
message, or by phone to the appropriate detailer listed below. 
6. E-resume procedures:  AY21 assignments will be opened and shopped using 
the PCS eResumes section of Direct Access (DA). All candidates must apply in 
DA, as outlined in Ref A, using the e-resume link, found by following Main 
Menu > CG AD Self Service:  Employee > Tasks > PCS eResumes. Once there, 
enter your desired Position Number in the search criteria. A “PCS eResume” 
user guide with step-by-step guidance can be found at 
https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/ppc/RoboHelp/DAGP/index.aspx#t=Whats_New.asp
x under the “PCS Transfer” tab on the left side of the page.

special assignments ranked in the order of preference among member's total 
billet choices.
