It was expanded to assist federal employees seeking upward mobility, career progression, and retirement planning assistance. Federal Jobs Net also includes comprehensive Postal employment information, information about overseas jobs, law enforcement opportunities, and detailed information on Veteran's benefits, handicapped employment options, and special emphasis hiring programs.

This site was Launched in 1994 by Dennis V. Damp, a career federal employee, and President of Bookhaven Press LLC. Damp retired from federal service in 2004. He spent 35½ years in government and understands the federal employment system from the inside out. This site also compliments Damp's highly acclaimed book, The Book of U.S. Government Jobs, that was nominated twice for "Best Career Title," by the Benjamin Franklin Awards committee.

Author Introduction:

Dennis V. Damp is an author, retired federal manager, business owner, career counselor and veteran. Dennis attended college at Washburn University in Topeka, KS, and Robert Morris College, CCAC and Point Park Colleges in Pittsburgh, PA. Damp’s The Book of U.S. Government Jobs, was a three-time finalist for “Best Career” title by the Benjamin Franklin Awards Committee and a finalist for “Best Career & Reference” title in 2008 by Foreword Magazine. This title was also selected for an alternate selection by the Book-Of-The-Month Club.

Damp is the author of 23 books and a recognized employment expert. He retired in 2005 at age 55 with 35 years of government service. Dennis has been a guest on hundreds of radio talk shows, CNN Cable TV, lectured at universities and colleges, produced Internet web sites and training videos, and has written hundreds of articles for national magazines and newspapers. He is a contributing writer for Monster.com and other Web portals, and his books have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, New York Times and U.S. News & World Report.

Dennis joined the Air Force in 1968 and spent over three years on active duty and an additional seven years with the Air National Guard. He was hired by the Department of Defense (DOD) after leaving active duty and transferred to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1975. He spent the remainder of his career in various positions with the FAA.

With the FAA, Dennis worked as an electronics technician, training instructor, project engineer, computer-based instruction administrator, training program manager, program support manager, and environmental health and safety program manager. Dennis held numerous supervisory and management positions and was responsible for recruiting, rating and interviewing applicants, outreach and hiring. His last government position was technical operations manager at the Pittsburgh International Airport's air traffic control tower.

Damp’s books are based on his many years in management where he was responsible for recruitment, outreach, retention and career development. His all-new 10th edition of The Book of U.S. Government Jobs presents an insider's view of what it takes to go from job hunter to hired employee, and everything in between, to improve a job hunter’s chances of landing a high-paying government job. Dennis expanded this site to include information for Federal employees and incorporated a comprehensive federal employee's retirement planning site based on the research he had to do to prepare for his personal federal government retirement.

Site Accessibility:

The accessibility movement encourages web sites to be built to allow people with disabilities to view them. For example, one accessibility standard is that all images have "alternate text" and "long descriptions" coded into the HTML. This would be useful for software that reads web pages out loud for blind people. Even if you cannot see our images, the software can read the description of the image out loud.

There are two different guidelines often used when determining whether a site is "accessible": the US Government Section 508 Guidelines and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

This site was built with a template that meets as many of those standards as possible. It meets all the Priority 1 standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and all of the Section 508 Guidelines. There are several exceptions such as rotating ad banner scripts that can't be tagged.

Utilized standardization:

• Table structure
  • Tables are built using relative sizing so that the page will resize to fit browser windows.
  • All tables have a "summary" statement that describes what the table is being used for.
• Cascading Style Sheets
  • Table background colors/patterns and bullet images are defined using Cascading Style Sheets within the theme (instead of hard-coding them, which FrontPage will do when themes are applied without CSS).
  • Font colors and sizes are also defined with CSS, which allows the page to degrade functionally even if someone does not have CSS viewing capability.
• Images
  • Images within the page layout have "alt" set in the HTML.
