We are offering a special on both resources so that you will have everything you need to make the transition from the military to a high paying and secure federal government job. Dennis Damp, the author of The Book of U.S. Government Jobs, retired from federal service in 2004 with 35 years and 7 months service. He began his government service in 1968 when he was drafted during the Vietnam war. After leaving the military he landed a job with the Department of Defense and after three years was selected for a position with the Federal Aviation Administration. Damp spent a total of 10 years in the military and his time counted towards his retirement. He knows first hand how to make the transition from the military to federal civil service.

Leaving the military? Wondering what's next for you? There are great civilian job opportunities for veterans in the US government. Vets get preference in federal hiring, plus you already have your security clearance. Add the fact that your recent military experiences match current government priorities, and you can see how exiting military personnel can have a leg up on many of the current openings-especially at such agencies as the Department of Homeland Security and the DOD branches.

What you need is a guide for navigating the complex federal hiring processes. With her new informative Military to Federal Career Guide, popular fed jobs expert Kathryn Troutman maps out the terrain and introduces a federal resume format designed to highlight all that vets have to offer employers. This comprehensive guide is all you'll need to find your way to the opportunities.

In the new guide, Troutman-the author of the bestselling Federal Resume Guidebook-provides veterans with specific insights into federal resumes:

  • The resume writing process is easier, as it is broken down into logical doable steps
     
  • You'll learn how to work with keywords from vacancy announcements, very important with the development of electronic resume screening
     
  • Shows how to emphasize leadership, teamwork and communication skills

In addition, the guide offers:

  • Approaches for matching your experience to the jobs you're most qualified for
     
  • Information on how to locate the current openings
