Military spouses approved to skip "competitive process" for fed jobs

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management published final regulations Aug. 12 to establish a “non-competitive hiring authority” for certain military spouses to federal positions. OPM states that the intended effect of this rule “is to facilitate the entry of military spouses into the federal civil service as part of an effort to recruit and retain skilled and experienced members of the armed forces and to recognize and honor the service of members injured, disabled, or killed in connection with their service.” More: http://www.imcom.army.mil/hq
