TYPES OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT

          How does civil service employment differ from Executive appointments - (patronage appointments)?

Civil Services employees are career staff which are not subject to the patronage rules of the President.  There are strong rules to govern their conduct, but they do not "Serve at the Pleasure of the President". 

THE PROCESS OF GETTING APPOINTMENTS

     What is the first step in thinking about getting a Presidential Appointment?

Decide whether you are willing to leave your present community for an patronage appointment in Washington, D.C. a regional office to take an appointment, or to any other location than your own home community.  A major personal or family move for a job with a short term future - 4 - 8 years or  less - where you serve entirely at the pleasure of the President or the White House must be carefully evaluated.

      How do I know what jobs are available for an Presidential Appointment?

Decide where you think your talents would be helpful to the President of the United States.  There are jobs in every job description across the government.  In some cases, such as in the field of press and public relations matters, every agency and department has those kinds of jobs - in more specialized fields, only a few agencies have those positions available.  Searching Google with a job name or type and another word like "federal appointment" will help.
