How do finalists learn about possible Federal agency PMF hiring opportunities? Where are the positions located?
PMF positions are posted to an online job bank, the PMF Projected Positions System (PPS), on the PMF website throughout the year. In addition, a Job Fair conducted exclusively for finalists is held in the Washington, DC area in the spring of the year finalists are notified. Federal agency representatives attend the Job Fair and discuss their PMF hiring opportunities with finalists who attend. Finalists do not have to attend the Job Fair to secure a PMF appointment, but the Job Fair is an excellent source of Federal agency contacts for finalists. Many agencies will review resumes and contact finalists directly to arrange phone interviews, schedule interviews during the Job Fair, and/or to make appointment offers. Agencies are not required to post positions in the PPS and not all agencies participate at the Job Fair. Most PMF appointments are located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Agencies will post available positions in the geographic locations they have a need to fill. Final
