Q. What happens after I submit my application?
A. Your application will be placed in the file for the

by the HRO Staffing Specialist to determine if you
meet the qualifications as stated on the job

announcements, applications are kept on file until a
vacancy occurs, at which time they are reviewed for
qualifications.
If you qualify for the job, your application will be
forwarded to the nominating official, who will contact
you for an interview. (For ARNG jobs, if there are
more than 10 qualified applicants, a job panel will be
convened first.)
If you do not qualify for the job, you will receive a
letter of notification.
Q. May I turn in my application into the HRO
office on Camp Robinson?
A. No, Applications MUST be emailed to the HRO
email ng.ar.ararng.mbx.hro-jobs@mail.mil and
received by midnight on the closing date. E-mailed
applications MUST be submitted in one .pdf file
unless prior coordination has been made to submit the
application in a different format.
JOB APPLICATION
DO’S AND DON’T’S
DO’S:
DO check the Area of Consideration on the job
announcement to make sure you can be considered for
a job. Some jobs are open to both AGRs and
traditional guard personnel, but some are only open to
current onboard AGRs. This means that if it indicates
that the job is open only to onboard AGRs, then other
applicants will not be considered under any
circumstances. Ensure that you meet the minimum
rank/grade requirements for the position.
DO read the qualification requirements in the job
announcement. Your application must show proof of
these qualifications. For example, make sure your
ERB/ORB DA Form 2-1 has your test scores (if they
do not, you need to provide them from a different
source), and make sure your physical exam shows your
physical profile (PULHES). Many applicants have
been disqualified simply for lack of documentation.
DO remember that you must meet the qualifications as
of the closing date of the announcement. For
instance, if the job closes 1 August and the minimum
grade is E6, you cannot be considered qualified if you
are due to be promoted after that date.
DO submit clear copies of all required attachments.
We must be able to read the attachments for aptitude
test scores, physical profile, etc., to determine your
qualifications.
DO explain any “Yes” answers in Section IV of NGB
34-1 (except Item 9 & 17). Section VI is provided for
this purpose. Any application containing a “Yes” item
that is missing an explanation will not be considered.
DO keep your application current. At some point you
will be contacted, either by phone or mail so make sure
your phone numbers and address are correct. Include
the area codes. Also, if you have a cell phone where
you can be reached, include this information on the
application as well.
DO sign and date your application digitally or in
original ink. Unsigned applications will not be
considered.
DO keep a copy of your application for future
reference.
DO call HRO if you need any assistance with your
application, or if you have any questions about current
vacancies or qualification requirements.
HRO Staffing: Technician (501) 212-4215/ AGR
4212 or DSN 962-4215/4208
188th FW Liaison: (501) 648-5213 or DSN 962-
8213
189th AW Liaison: (501) 987-7650 or DSN 731-
7650
DO follow these instructions carefully. A little time
and attention will benefit you in the long run.
Remember, it is YOUR responsibility to submit a
complete and correct application.
DON’T’S:
DON’T submit an application for a job that has not
been announced; HRO only accepts applications for
specific advertisements.
DON’T attach copies of college transcripts, diplomas,
certificates, awards, performance reports, letters of
recommendation or appreciation, photographs, or any
other attachment other than those required. You may
list this information on the application if you feel that it
is necessary.
DON’T call the HRO constantly to check on the status
of your application. This serves no purpose. You may
check right after the job closes to see if you were
qualified, but after it is forwarded to the nominating
official, we usually don’t know what the status is until
we get the package back. Keep in mind that after
interviews are completed, the selection has to go
through several command channels before it ever
reaches HRO. When we finally receive the package
back, we will notify the selectee by phone and non-
selectees by mail.
A. DON’T wait till the last second to submit your
application. Application must be email by close date.
When the email is received it is dated and time
stamped Applications MUST be emailed to the HRO
email ng.ar.ararng.mbx.hro-jobs@mail.mil and
received by midnight on the closing date. E-mailed
applications MUST be submitted in one .pdf file
unless prior coordination has been made to submit the
application in a different format.
ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS!
