“Kathryn’s book is a well-written, accurate reference source which deals with topics ranging from learning how to network to locating Federal internships. I find Kathryn’s books extremely useful and frequently use them to help students navigate through the Federal employment process and find opportunities.”

This ground-breaking book is the ONLY comprehensive guide for students on starting a government career.
Using an easy-reading style, Kathryn Troutman and her daughter, Emily Troutman, detail a winning 10-step process for going from the classroom to a federal job.
