    <title>ANSWER: Hiring under " All US Citizens" but requiring service awards</title>
    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Thank you Ms. Harris for your blog entry,
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">While I can't speak to the specifics of your various 'debriefs', I can tell you that gaining employment in the federal government is not predicated on the applicant's possession of performance awards, nor do the standards used to qualify federal positions include performance awards as a requirement.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">A 91 score is an outstanding score, but if there is an applicant with a score of 92 or higher, that person would of course have a higher ranking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">I hope this information has been helpful.</span></p> <a href="http://www1.opm.gov/blogs/HiringReform/2012/2/2/ANSWER-Hiring-under-All-US-Citizens-but-requiring-service-awards/">more</a>]]></summary>
