Today I saw the terms 'Excepted service' and '
Competitive service' for the first time. From the Wikipedia definitions, I learned that :
"the excepted service consists of those civil service positions which are not in the competitive service or the Senior Executive Service. "
"The 'competitive service' consists of— (1) all civil service positions in the executive branch, except:— (A) positions which are specifically excepted from the (the words "competitive service" seem to be missing) ..."
So if I forget the Senior Executive Service and some other exceptions for the sake of simplicity, I learned that the Civil Service consists of two groups: The Excepted Service (which are all civil servants except those in the competitive service) and the Competitive Service, (which are all civil servants except those in the excepted service).
