If I wanted a folksy book on humor, I’d buy one. I don’t. ‘Oodles of internships…”
I take the business of getting a job in government seriously. I looked at this book
and decided not to recommend it. It is not worth the money. Unless you want a folksy book on humor, and to not get a job or go through the serious and sometimes painful work of getting a federal career.

Lily Whiteman’s book was invaluable. Not only for federal jobs, but as a contractor, I found the book to be of incredible help. I was going in circles, writing and re-writing my resume, always ending up with the same product. With the guidance in this book, I was able to ask the right questions of myself, to finally write a resume that is more focused and definitely less typical of the resumes that, as a manager, I have received from potential employees. I now feel that I have less of a chance of ending up in the “circular file.” Tips such as quoting other peoples’ opinions of me, as you would find in a movie review, were particulary clever.

This is the only federal career guide written by a current federal professional; all of the others are written by people who have never worked for the government or are long retired. And, oh what a difference Lily Whiteman’s insider experience makes!
Her book is uniquely complete and accurate — chock full of insights, instruction and guidance that is available nowhere else. For example, Whiteman clearly and concisely explains how federal applications are screened and teaches you how to think like a hiring manager. Her comprehensive guidance on crafting winning resumes and KSAs and acing interviews is based on those principles. She also explains how to negotiate your salary and other benefits in ways that may substantially boost your salary offer.
The CD accompanying this book features many one-of-kind, time-saving application templates and checklists as well as a directory of hundreds of federal internships and special recruitment programs for students and young professionals that are based all over the US and overseas, and a directory of fellowships for experienced professionals.

I’m just starting reading this book, and already it has provided some useful tips. I still have more to read. It seems to be very thorough in how it covers different topics.

Lily Whiteman has written a comprehensive resource for landing a federal job. She provides a real insider’s perspective and covers topics that are hard to learn elsewhere except through direct experience. The book covers everything from how to find positions, to writing your federal resume, to filling out online applications, and how to ensure your application makes the top of the pile. She also has great advice for interviewing and for advancing your federal career.
