Do you have to be a United States citizen to work for the federal government? Not necessarily, says the Office of Personnel Management. The government "gives strong priority to hiring United States citizens and nationals, but non-citizens may be hired in certain circumstances," according to new guidance for federal human resources officials.

 

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
