IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A FEDERAL JOB WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE USUAL HIRING PROCESS?
Yes, through the Presidential Management Fellows Program. THE PRESIDENTIAL MANAGEMENT FELLOWS (PMF) PROGRAM is a two-year program open to all graduate students in their final year of study. Applicants must first be nominated by their school and then make it through the program’s rigorous evaluation program. PMF positions are structured by each individual agency and differ widely. The purpose of the PMF Program is to attract outstanding men and women from a wide variety of academic disciplines and career paths who have a clear interest in and a commitment to excellence in the leadership and management of public policies and programs.
