4.0 out of 5 stars
Good general overview,
By A Customer
This review is from: Federal Jobs: Ultimate Guide 3rd ed (Arco Federal Jobs) (Paperback)
It was very useful for me to see all the agencies listed with their web sites, numbers and typical background/degrees of new hires.This allowed me to narrow my focus. The main weakness for me was not enough info on KSA's, fed resumes and actual interviews. I would recomend this book, but also suggest you pick up another to complement it...

Excellent resource for the US resident jobseakers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Federal Jobs: Ultimate Guide 2nd ed (Federal Jobs: the Ultimate Guide) (Paperback)
I have read this book and it is excellent. Whatit is light on are recent policy changes, hot openings areas and good definitin of residency exeption, the onsite contractor opportunities and the educational/industrial partnership availablities. It is heartwarming to know even in this harsh erra of trial by fire downsizing in the federal arena, there are still 38000 great jobs in NSA, 5100 PTO positions and 52000 in the Defense Investigative Service. So many openings in high end administrative, tech savy,or secure positions with so few willing and able candidates obsessed with private industry.Too bad there entrance requirements for most mean you'd have to be a fresh college grad, PhD (at 57k and secure US resident) or not have a single mark on your police or financial record. Kinda tight requirements in national security regions these days.

CORRECTION,
By A Customer
This review is from: Federal Jobs: Ultimate Guide 2nd ed (Federal Jobs: the Ultimate Guide) (Paperback)
MAKE A NOTE OF THIS, EVERYONE! This book has incorrectly listed the job hotline for the Environmental Protection Agency. They listed the number as #202.260.5055, but the correct listing is #202.418.4320. PLEASE pass the word. Thanks!
