Many people know that federal jobs are often a hot ticket to good pay, great benefits, security, and a flexible schedule. Yet, few have any idea which federal jobs fall into this category, let alone they type of jobs that suit them best.
This guide demystifies the career-decision-making process and gives valuable insight about government job seeking. The first part of this book discusses how to find the right occupation, develop a vision for your career, assess yourself, develop essential skills, and create a career plan. The second part overviews the federal government as an employer. Readers learn about jobs' benefits and locations, discover how to match themselves to jobs and agencies, and uncover which skills the government prefers most.
The authors reveal insider advice on the federal hiring process, including guidance on resumes, interviewing, networking, vacancy announcements, distinguishing yourself, and common mistakes federal jobs seekers make.
