5 out of 5 stars What an excellent resource!   August 27, 2010
D. Stark (Oakland, California)
I take strong exception to Roger Mart's criticism of How to Land a Top-Paying Federal Job. I wonder if Mart has even read How to Land a Top-Paying Federal Job, because the book provides important, reader-friendly insider advice about federal jobs that other books don't even touch--such as salary negotations that may be worth tens of thousands of dollars, explanations of how hiring managers think, how federal applications are really screened, and templates for quickly churning out applications, to name just a few features. The book is not only comprehensive but also current and up-to-date because it is written by a current federal employee who works in the federal system--not someone who retired years ago. It is clearly the best book on federal jobs available. I whole-heartedly recommend it to seekers of jobs in the federal sector as well as the private sector.

I see it as a difficult and weak attempt at being like , The Book of U.S. Government Jobs: Where They Are, What's Available & How to Get One (10th edition) (Book of US Government Jobs) by Dennis Damp.


5 out of 5 stars Great Resource-Helped me get a job!   August 6, 2010

This book was incredibly helpful to me when I was looking for a new job. I was transitioning from academia into the public sector and this book became my go to resource. It helped me convert my CV into a resume, write a great cover letter, work on my interview questions and get a higher salary! I do not know what I would have done without this book. It gave me the courage to write a non-traditional cover letter, which was read by the prospective employers and probably helped me get the interview. I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a federal job or any job. This book is a big reason I have a new job!

I really like the insights into the Federal hiring process provided by this book. Since the author is a full-time Federal hiring manager, I find her information refreshing, helpful and enlightening. She provides a "real world" perspective about what to do and what to expect. Although she gives a high level view of how to write a Federal resume, her example resumes are a very good guide to follow. Overall, I like her approach and advice concerning how to land a good job with the Federal Government. I recommend her book highly to anyone that is serious about getting a top paying Federal job.


5 out of 5 stars A complete book for all federal job seekers   May 28, 2010
Quant Jockey (Rockville, MD USA)

I have to say this book is well written, concise, and practical. Whiteman conveys a clear, straightforward sense of what you need to do to get the application done and done right. The tip sheets, cheat sheets, and topics are organized very well; all major types of federal hiring are covered; the ins-and-outs of federal hiring are explained clearly; and the advice about the cover letter and other things an applicant has to include in their package to stand out are all great tactics. When using it for applying for a long-shot promotion, as I am already in the federal govt and ok with my current position, I was amazed how well my new and updated application looked (and not without a lot of work and effort on my part!). It brought me up to speed on writing the KSA's strategically and brought out my achievements much more visibly. I'm a fan of the examples of real pieces of applications included in the book. The CD is great, too, so don't lose it like I almost did. All in all, it feels like I had the right toolkit and the answers I needed to proactively and confidently apply; I just had to make it all happen and get it done. Even if I didn't the job, this book can serve as an essential 'playbook' in my survival kit for careering in the federal govt.

My only concern is that with new OPM regulations to overhaul the federal hiring process, how well will this book fare? Its great to have, but I'm sure the new rules, once implemented, will require a new version. Lily no doubt will make great efforts to provide the latest insights on what works in that new environment. I absolutely look forward to any new version she has to offer.
