How do you get selected?
The person who’s been asked to head up the team for the specific agency knows you and asks you to do it, or someone they have asked to be on the team knows you, etc.

a transition team would be on the campaign payroll, so no, you cannot be a federal employee and work as part of a partisan campaign. you'd be hoping for a political appointee position afterwards. don't think it's worth ditching a solid career over, but you do you.

I know someone who was working in the private sector for 2 years, but had previously worked for the agency in a GS role, and got asked to be on the transition team, so resigned her regular job. Ended up getting an appointment in the new administration.
