Federal job applicants will soon be quizzed on their favorite Trump administration policy as part of the hiring process, according to the Office of Personnel Management’s new “merit hiring plan.”
“How would you help advance the president’s executive orders and policy priorities in this role?” asks one of four essay questions that job seekers must answer if they are seeking any federal position GS-5 or above. “Identify one or two relevant executive orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired. …

We are in a constitutional crisis.
I guess only the best and the brightest will apply. And by that I mean ONLY MAGA. Sarcasm font where are you for the slow ones in the back.
LOL yeah man, gotta keep those GS-5's in check.
This administration is filled with such giant babies.
If folks haven't yet commented on the Schedule F proposal (comments are open til June 7), this would be a great thing to cite as an example of how the Trump administration is further politicizing what used to be a very nonpolitical federal workforce.
A bunch of former SSA career execs published a fantastic, detailed comment last week: https://downloads.regulations.gov/OPM-2025-0004-23166/attachment_1.pdf
There's also a new paper out last week on SSA and the Schedule F proposal: https://www.nasi.org/discussion/schedule-policy-career-and-the-social-security-administration-history-implications-and-limitations/
And now we return to the Spoils System of the 19th Century where political loyalty TRUMPS competency!
Lol. Whiny little bitch baby president
Thanks for sharing those links. The proposal is breathtakingly flagrantly illegal.
SSA would have to hire tens of thousands of conservatives to balance things in the SSA workforce. I don't think it's necessary but one reason there are so many whiners about telework is that the SSA workforce is probably 80 percent or better Democrats.

If conservatives want to score virtue points by seeking out poorer labor standards, then they can have at it. But what a puzzling exercise in virtue signaling! What’s next, shooting yourselves in the groin because Joe Biden is fighting his prostate cancer?
Not so in the office I worked over 40 years. It was slightly more GOP.
Ugh - no way in hell is anyone outside the maga cult going to opt for federal service unless they're desperate for a job, and in that case, they're going to have to lie through their teeth about wanting to advance any of the felon's EOs
