New employment site empowers potential job candidates Published Oct. 1, 2007 DALLAS -- Applying for a job with the Department of Defense's oldest and largest exchange service is now easier than ever thanks to an expanded, online career center. With opportunities in retail, food service, procurement, information systems and more, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service's revamped career center offers targeted entry-level, hourly and management opportunities that are searchable by keyword, job title, area of interest and location. "AAFES is a worldwide military command," said James Moore, AAFES' Senior Vice President of Human Resources. "As a result, we have career opportunities everywhere from the Middle East to Maine for those ready to serve what we consider to be the best customers in the world, America's Soldiers and Airmen as well as their families." The updated system allows entry-level and management applicants to quickly search and apply for available positions across the AAFES system and even check on the status of jobs previously applied for. Once an initial profile is completed, a "Job Agent" can be created to notify applicants of new positions that match their career interests. AAFES' revamped career center is available under the "AAFES employment" link at www.aafes.com. Current opportunities range from a part-time stocker at the Barksdale AFB BX to a Merchandise and Inventory Planner at AAFES' Headquarters in Dallas, Texas. "Employment at the BX or PX is much more than just a 'job,' it's a career in which people can truly make a difference," Mr. Moore said. "We're excited about anything that provides greater opportunities for friendly, engaging and customer-focused individuals seeking to join the AAFES team." An Equal Employment Opportunity Employer that was recently named the second military spouse friendly employer in America, AAFES currently employs about 45,000 associates at more than 3,100 retail and food establishments around the globe.
