Become A PMF
2017 Application
How to
Apply
The PMF Program solicits applicants annually via
an announcement on USAJOBS (www.usajobs.gov). The
announcement will include detailed instructions on how to
apply.
NOTE: You do NOT need a USAJOBS applicant user
account to apply. Please follow the steps outlined under the "How
to Apply" section in the announcement, which will take you to our
apply site to create an applicant user account and to
apply.
Allow approximately 3-4 hours to complete the entire
application, to include: the biographical, eligibility, and
demographics information; document submission; essay; and, on-line
assessment.
Current Finalists who reapply will forfeit their status
upon starting an application and accessing the on-line
assessment.
