Become a PMF
Overview and Timeline
NOTE: New
regulations impacting the PMF Program took effect on July 10, 2012.
We are in the process of updating the PMF website to reflect the
new changes, but have reflected initial information about the Class
of 2013 application cycle.
Overview
The PMF Class of 2013 application, via a job opportunity
announcement on USAJOBS (www.usajobs.gov), is expected to launch
Monday, November 5, 2012, and close at 11:59:59pm (ET) on Monday,
November 19, 2012. Applicants can search for "Presidential
Management Fellows" on USAJOBS or select the link found under the
Application
Process\How to Apply webpage.
To become a Presidential Management Fellow (PMF), you must sign
up for a multi-phase process. It will take patience and endurance,
but also gives you a chance to demonstrate your ability. Last year,
more than 9,000 graduate students applied to the PMF Program and
approximately 630 achieved Finalist status. If you become a PMF,
you will have earned your place in the Program, and the opportunity
to grow professionally, serve your country, and make a
difference!
The very first step in successfully becoming a PMF is paying
attention to the details of the application process. Applying for
Federal Government jobs can be a lengthy process; and though we've
done everything we can to streamline the process, there are still
rules and regulations we must follow to ensure fair and merit-based
selections. Below is an approximate timeline of the major
steps in the process, as it relates to the PMF Class of 2013's
application cycle. Please note the assessment process may
impact dates shown below. The chart will be updated accordingly.
All timelines are subject to change.
As details become available, we will update this webpage.
Interested applicants should check this "Become a PMF" section
frequently for updates.
