PERSONNEL PRACTICES: Career Appointments Granted Political Appointees From October 1998 Through June 2000

Abstract

Political appointments are generally made by the administration in office and are noncareer appointments. These appointments are generally noncompetitive and are therefore made without regard to the rules for competition that govern career appointments. However, while serving under a political appointment, appointees can apply and compete for positions that are filled through career appointments. Career appointments do not end with the change of administrations and are to be filled only after fair and open competition has occurred to ensure that all applicants receive fair and equitable treatment.
