The Student’s Federal Career Guide
“Kathryn’s book is a well-written, accurate reference source which deals with topics ranging from learning how to network to locating Federal internships. I find Kathryn’s books extremely useful and frequently use them to help students navigate through the Federal employment process and find opportunities.”
– CHRISTINE EARMAN HARRIGER, M.Ed., M.C.D.P., Career Counslor, George Mason University
This ground-breaking book is the ONLY comprehensive guide for students on starting a government career.
Using an easy-reading style, Kathryn Troutman and her daughter, Emily Troutman, detail a winning 10-step process for going from the classroom to a federal job. The Student’s Federal Career Guide includes basics like our federal employment glossary, tips on salary negotiation, and a step-by-step guide to the behavior-based interview. It also provides invaluable advice on how to write KSAs or narratives for fields in which you do not have professional experience.
