If you are considering applying for the Presidential Management Fellows program, please note that the Assessment Guide has now been posted. The Guide covers:
- The Online Assessment: includes the Situational Judgment, Questionnaire and Essay Questions -- including tips on browsers, operating systems, and screen resolution. There's even a system check you can perform before starting the Online Assessment.
- The In-Person Assessment: including the locations (yes, Chicago is one), admission rules, inclement weather/emergency protocol, and notification expectations
The application period will open on Monday, November 5, and close on Monday, November 19, 2012 at 11:59pm Eastern Time. The entire application process, including submission of all necessary documents, must be completed during this time period. Reading through the browser information has been particularly emphasized by the PMF office due to problems for last year's applicants. To keep abreast of all PMF updates, a new RSS Feed has been created on the PMF landing page as well. The FAQs throughout the website have been updated.
Start thinking about the criteria following during the on-line and in-person assessments that PMF is focusing on and how you can use those to tell the story of your leadership.
• Problem Solving
• Interpersonal Skills
• Oral Communication
• Written Communication
• Public Service Motivation
• Personal Accountability
• Adaptability
Another post will be coming soon to help you think about those for the assessment.
