You can find out if you have held one of these appointment types by looking at your Standard Form 50s in your Electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF), in Section 5 where the legal authorities are listed.

A political appointee is an appointment made by the President without confirmation by the Senate (5 CFR 213.3102(c)) OR an assistant position to a top-level federal official if filled by a person designated by the President as a White House Fellow (5 CFR 213.3102(z)).
A Schedule C appointee occupies a position excepted from the competitive service by the President, or by the Director of OPM, because of the confidential or policy-determining nature of the position duties (5 CFR 213.3301 and 5 CFR 213.3302).
A Non-career SES appointee is approved by the White House and serves at the pleasure of the appointing official without time limitations (5 CFR 317 Subpart F).

Assessment 1

Warning Statement: It is important to note that all of your responses are subject to review and verification. If after reviewing your resume and or supporting documentation a determination is made that you have overstated your qualifications and or experience, you will be rated ineligible or your score will be lowered.

1. In order to apply for this position, you must qualify as a Pathways Recent Graduate. Have you completed within the previous two years, a qualifying associate's, bachelor's, master's, professional, doctorate, vocational or technical degree or certificate from a qualifying educational institution?
--OR--
Are you a veteran (as defined in 5 USC 2108), who, due to military service obligations, was precluded from applying to the Program during the two-year eligibility period described above. (These veterans have a full two-year period of eligibility upon their release or discharge from active duty. In no event, however, may this eligibility period extend beyond six years from the date on which you completed your academic requirements).

A. Yes. ( You must submit transcripts to document this claim).

B. No, I do not meet the requirement for the Pathways Recent Graduate program.

2. Select one response from the choices below that reflects how you meet the Qualification Requirements for the GS-7 grade level.

A. I have at least one year of full-time specialized experience equivalent to the GS-5 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors) performing the following duties: 1) utilizing knowledge of one or more arts disciplines to provide subject matter input on arts grants; 2) assisting with programmatic and administrative work associated with arts-related application and grant processes; and 3) communicating effectively and accurately with internal and external customers.

B. I have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, AND meet one of the following provisions of Superior Academic Achievement: 1) Maintained a grade-point average of "B" (a GPA of 3.0 or higher) as recorded on your official transcript, or as computed based on 4 years of education, or as computed based on courses completed during the final 2 years of the curriculum; 2) Maintained a grade-point average "B+" (a GPA of 3.5 or higher) based on the average of the required courses completed in the major field or the required courses in the major field completed during the final 2 years of the curriculum; 3) Rank in the upper one-third of your class in the college, university, or major subdivision; 4) Be a member of a national honor (other than freshman honor societies) recognized by the Association of College Honor Societies. Please submit a college transcript(s) showing your grade point average for all four years of undergraduate study, including all transferred courses. NOTE: GPA's are to be rounded to one decimal place. For example, 2.95 will round to 3.0 and 2.94 will round to 2.9.
