The expanded 10th edition of
The Book of U.S.
Government Jobs features how to find a high paying,
recession proof career with the federal government. The author
recently retired from government service and he included his
personal perspective throughout this new edition. Damp was a
high level manager for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
and for the last 20 years he was responsible for recruitment and
hiring for the FAA. He knows what it takes to go from job hunter
to hired employee, and everything in between to improve the
readers chances of landing a high-paying government job.
This book was selected for "Best Career Title"
by the Benjamin Franklin Awards committee and in March 2008
Foreword Magazine selected this the new 10th edition of
The Book of U.S.
Government Jobs as a finalist for "Best Career
Title" and "Best Reference Title."
-
The following ProfNet "Tip of The Month News Wire" was sent
out in early February by our Publicist. The Topic is how to
RECESSION PROOF
Your Career with a federal government job. An Expert
Alert....
EXPERT ALERT
RECESSION PROOF YOUR CAREER:
The "R" word is being thrown around a lot these days and astute
workers are looking for ways to add stability to their careers.
Dennis V. Damp, retired federal manager and author of "The Book
of U.S. Government Jobs:"
The federal sector doesn't suffer layoffs like the private
sector during hard times. Uncle Sam institutes a "Reduction In
Force" (RIF) when agencies reorganize or downsize. Most
agencies offer jobs in other locations or they simply downsize
through attrition and allow eligible feds to take early
retirements. A far more civilized approach.
In addition to the security you have with federal employment the
benefits far exceed what you can expect in most private sector
jobs. Many aren't aware that the average annual federal workers
compensation, pay plus benefits, is $106,871 compared to just
$53,288 for the private sector according to the United States
Bureau of Economic Analysis. Another major benefit is that
workers can carry their health insurance into retirement after
working only five short years. Many workers in their 50s look
for federal employment for just this reason alone. Add up to 5
weeks paid vacation and 10 paid holidays while working and a
lucrative fixed retirement annuity to the mix which is almost
unheard of in private industry these days. All good reason to
explore this lucrative job market.
Damp, who spent 35 years in federal service, is available to
talk about the many opportunities available and how applicants
can recession proof their career and improve their chances of
employment.
GOT THE INTERVIEW IN 30 DAYS!!!,
January 7, 2008
By M. Grant
I purchased and received this book two days before
Xmas 2007. I was referred for a vacancy announcement on January 4,
2008. The purchase of this book is a nobrainer. Mr. Damp gives all
the details needed to analyze the announcement and revamp your
resume for the positions. Every penny spent here is worth the
precious receipt of a certificate for a particular vacancy. The last
thing I want to add is that I just started applying in November
2007. This book got me to the top of the list. Thanks Mr. Damp.
60 Days to a Recession Proof Federal Job;
IT WORKS
By Mark Shiraitore, eBook Reviews)
An INDISPENSIBLE guide to finding and getting a federal job. I used
the information in the NEW 10th edition and was granted 5
interviews, 3 job offers and accepted a GS-12 position; then
negotiated a significant PAY increase; just 2 month into my search.
After arriving at my new position, I used the Federal Job career
information section to obtain additional vacation time for my prior
military service and to make the right decisions on my benefits.
Dennis Damp hit a GRAND SLAM with this book; it is simply the BEST
Federal Jobs Guide on the market today. If you are looking for a
comprehensive federal jobs guide that really puts you ahead of the
competition, this is the book to buy. Thank you, Mr. Damp.
-
Dennis Damp was interviewed by Bob Moose, Business Writer for
the Dallas Morning News on 1/4/08 for a feature article in the
Sunday edition on January 13th. The topic is recession proofing
your career through federal government employment. The new 10th
edition will be featured.

Advance Access Program participation. On Monday, October 1,

news of reading copies or finished books that are offered for
review. The new 10th edition was featured and we sent out 50
review copies to independent stores in October.
"This fourth edition of Health Care Job Explosion is full of
ideas about potential careers in the health care industry as well as how to get
a job in these careers....The publisher provides information on health care
professions, as well as careers that one might pursue in the health care
industry which are not specifically in the field (e.g., computer applications,
billing clerks).
The strength of the book is its comprehensiveness about
available resources, how to use them, and what to expect from them... It would
be an excellent resource for rehabilitationists to access job information for
their clients. It could also be provided to clients to guide their own job
search efforts. Finally, it would be helpful to people who are trying to define
a vocational objective in the medical services area."
