What are excepted service agencies/positions?
Excepted service agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration, the Postal Service, and the Tennessee Valley Authority are not subject to Title 5 of the United States Code (U.S.C.). These agencies establish their own hiring and evaluation systems. Excepted service positions are positions which are excluded from the competitive examining procedures of Title 5 U.S.C. due to the unique nature of these positions. Student appointments fall under this category. For additional information visit our Other Job Opportunities page.
