Administration (FAA) and for the last 20 years he was

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.

A comprehensive career guide and a job locator for health
care jobs, August 11, 2006
"The new fourth edition of "Health Care Job Explosion!: High
Growth Health Care Careers and Job Locator" is a brand new
comprehensive career guide and a job locator for health care
jobs. Health career data can be accessed at multiple internet
sites, with one created especially for this book (http://healthcarejobs.org).
The book is very user-friendly and is conveniently organized
into 10 chapters. The first, "the Health Care Explosion," is an
overview, while the second, "the Nexus - Making a Connection,"
is helpful to increase chances of obtaining the desired job.
Chapter three, "Job Sources for Everyone," is an invaluable key
to many resources, including job advertising services, job
fairs, job hotlines, internet sites, associations and
directories. It even includes pages on the Internet, Surfing
lessons, LIST SERVERS, search engines, and education and career
resources. A handy system of symbols connects the reader to the
desired resource. Chapters four through ten cover general health
care job areas, from health technologists and technicians to
dietetics, pharmacy, therapy, nursing, health and social
services, health diagnosing occupations and assistants, and home
health care jobs. Each of these chapters begins with an
interview with a practicing health care worker in the listed
field. Job descriptions include significant points, a
description of the nature of the work, working conditions,
training, qualifications and advancement, job outlook, earnings,
and related occupations. This is followed by an exhaustive
listing of additional special resources pertaining to that
occupation/area, again using the helpful icons established in
chapter 3. Finally, Appendices A and B present information about
health care corporations and sources for tuition and
scholarships for specialized health care job training. "Health
Care Job Explosion!" is an updated resource that will serve all
who seek to build a career in one of the many areas related to
health care in the United States. It would be a valued addition
to the shelves of libraries and education institutions."
- The
prestigious "Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling"
published a full review of this title in a recent 2006 issue. An excerpt
follows:
"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."
Joseph E. Havranek, Ed.D., CRC
Professor of Rehabilitation Counseling
Bowling Green State University
Bowling Green, Ohio
- The web
site http://beyond.com
mentioned and recommended "Health Care Job Explosion" in
their article titled Healthy Outlook for Jobs in the Healthcare
Industry . An article excerpt follows.
"Recent graduates looking to enter the healthcare field or those
already in the field have a bright future ahead. According to the
U.S. Department of Labor, jobs in healthcare will increase by 26
percent by 2008, which equates into 2.8 million new jobs. Jobs in
demand are not necessarily limited to doctors and nurses. There are
a wide range of jobs available across the entire healthcare field
that will be steadily increasing in the months and years to
come.....
If you would like more information on job growth and available
resources for the healthcare industry, a great resource to read is
the 4th edition of Health Care Job Explosion! High Growth Health
Careers and Job Locator by Dennis V. Damp. The new 4th edition
includes interviews with health care specialists and features over
1400 resources to help readers explore careers and locate job
vacancies in this growing industry field."
