Subject: POSITION AVAILABLE (DC) - Department of Education

PMFers and Alumni,

My office has an opening for a Policy Analyst Position at the U.S.  
Department of Education.  We are looking for someone in the GS-9 to  
GS-13 range who is either a current or former PMF.  The position has  
not been posted on USA jobs.  I have been working here for two months  
and could not be happier with my choice.  The staff here is capable,  
smart, and friendly, and includes lots of PMFs and former PMFs.  This  
really is an interesting and engaging place to work (something most  
job postings can’t really convey).  Please see the posting below and  
contact Carol Cichowski (contact details below) if you are interested.

Subject: Job Opening of Potential Interest to Current and Former PMIs/ 
PMFs

I am a former PMI (class of 1986), and I figure that some current or  
former PMIs/PMFs may be interested in/qualified for
the job here at the Naval War College. It is NOT a PMF rotational  
assignment. Rather, it is a permanent Navy faculty job.

I am the POC for the job if you or others have any questions.
