RAM Job Application Process:

RAM Job Board

To review details about jobs that RAM has available, visit this site often. This is also the place where you will download the RAM Application and accompanying forms. Only one application need be completed because you will automatically be considered for all jobs open at RAM for which you are qualified. All applications remain active in our database for at least one year.

The Application Packet

The Application Packet comprises all of the materials you will submit for consideration. No other items than the ones indicated are necessary unless requested. Below, each portion of the application packet is outlined.

The Application is a three (3) page document to complete required information about yourself that is pertinent to consideration for employment. Please complete each section, as we do not accept applications that, for example, say "see resume". Make sure signatures and initials are provided where indicated on Page 3.

The Personnel Screening Questionnaire (PSQ) authorizes RAM to conduct a background check as needed for employment. Not all jobs require a background check, as many require a security clearance with a more stringent background investigation. The PSQ must be signed by you before submitting the packet for consideration.

The Contact Authorization Form authorizes RAM to contact previous employers to ask specific questions about your work for that employer. The authorization must have your signature, as well as your initials, where indicated.

The Data Collection Form is a self-identity form that helps us, as a federal contractor, comply with the requirements of the Department of Labor, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), 41 CFR, Part 60-1. The form also aids us in our pursuit to hire and promote qualified minority applicants. If you do not wish to divulge the information requested, check the applicable box on the form. The form must be completed, although self-identification is voluntary.
