Applications Timeline
Nov 15 – Cadet Staff Applications Close @ 2100
Nov 21 – Cadet Staff Interviews & Evaluations – 0830-1300 @ Squadron Bldg

For this application:
You will need to have two (2) documents created and ready to submit.
Hint: Do not write a book.
The goal of a resume and cover letter is to land an interview.
In the interview, you have the opportunity to go more in depth.
1. Resume in a standard format, emphasizing important CAP items.
You may include relevant non-CAP experiences/education, especially if you are newer to CAP. We recommend you create your resume using the Technical Document information in CAPP 60-32 Staff Duty Analysis.
Use a professional template of your choice.
If this is your first time applying and you’ve never created a resume before, there are many templates available in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
Here’s a sample resume. However, you should customize your resume to fit your own experiences and beliefs that make you an ideal candidate.
Do not submit a resume in memorandum format.
That format is unacceptable and may result in your not being offered an interview slot.
2. Letter of Interest/Cover Letter
This is your chance to use your own words to make you stand out. Tell me why you are awesome, why you are a great fit for staff, why you want to serve, what you’ll get out of it, how you’ll help others – in short, why you should get an interview.
Keep it to a single page, in your choice of format.
Flight Commander Applicants:
If you select Flight Commander as one of your top 5 positions, you must also submit three sample flight plans: one for a training flight, one for an Airman flight and one for an NCO/Officer flight.
