[quote=Anonymous]I have worked with PMFs but didn't move to the area until after I graduated so wasn't eligible for the program. My experience has been mixed, with some of the PMFs being incredibly focused, smart, and capable, and some being disinterested and disillusioned after only a short while. My view is generally positive, though. In our agency, I don't think there's great focus on the PMF program as a career development tool so much as a hiring tool. It's very hard to hire really great employees via the typical competitive hiring process for several reasons, and this is one way to kind of circumvent that. I think it's a great program for both employees and employers. I came in through a similar but now-defunct hiring program called the Federal Career Intern Program, which has been replaced by the Pathways program. That's another avenue you might look into if you're interested in working for the federal government but can't do PMF.[/quote]
