Despite all the efforts to the contrary, finding a federal job is still a tough climb. First you have to find the mountain, then equip yourself for the journey. ‘Ten Steps to a Federal Job’ is the best guide you can find for the challenge. You’ll not only learn how the good jobs are posted — and they aren’t always, if even rarely, on the search engines — and how to mount your campaign, make your case, and reach the summit. I recommend it to anyone who is going Federal. Paul C. Light, Former Vice President and Director of Governmental Studies, Brookings Institution
