Should You Try for an Appointment?
The decision to seek an
appointment which is patronage - working at the pleasure of the President
and his administration - and without most of the legal protections
of either an elected or civil service federal employee is a fundamental
and extremely serious decision.
At
Presidential-Appointments.org we consider this decision to be primary
for any serious contender for any appointed - non-civil service
appointment in the government.
Job Definition, Candidate
Qualifications, Candidate Background, Money Issues and Salary, Family
Impact, Political Strength, Contacts, Professional Qualifications (in
depth), Ability to Move Residence and similar considerations are the core
of this issue.
Our examination of these
issues with a candidate is to background the candidate, the position, and
the probabilities of being appointed.
Our
experience: Most potential candidates gain a deep
understanding of how much they really wish to be a Executive appointment
candidate, whether they can qualify, and whether they have the connection
and political muscle to make it happen, and the financial
risks. Most potential candidates decide NOT to continue to seek an
appointments for a huge variety of reasons.
Timetable:
From 30 days to six months to get to a decision.
Out
of pocket costs: $500 - $1500, only with candidate
pre-approval per proposed expense.
Consulting
Fee: $2500 - $5000 retainer in advance.
