With more than 40% of the federal government's 1.6 million employees retiring in the next 10 years, now is the time for anyone seeking a government job to take advantage of the massive retirement wave that has already begun.

Entertainingly written by a successful career coach who has served as a federal hiring manager, this reader-friendly book steers prospective applicants through every stage of their job search.

Drawing on interviews with more than 100 other hiring managers, the book gives readers:

• Little-known ways for finding openings
• Shortcuts for instantly impressing the true gatekeepers on paper and in person 
• Sure-fire tips for negotiating a top salary
• Expert techniques for getting quickly promoted 

Also includes a companion CD filled with sample resumes and worksheets.
