Preface: We wrote this book because there is a need to bring together a comprehensive concept of the public sector related to specific "how-to" employment strategies and opportunities. Millions of individuals are primarily oriented to public sector employment. Many of these people want to have a positive impact on others and make a decent living at the same time. Yet, too often individuals seeking public sector employment are at the mercy of highly generalized and often inappropriate or inaccurate career advice based upon experiences with private sector organizations.
From Library Journal:
According to the authors, job opportunites are available in the public sector, but the market is becoming increasingly competitive. Their guide gives the reader suggestions on finding work with federal, state, and local governments and related organizations. The general information on job hunting and the specific information on government jobs is current, accurate, and detailed. But the chapters on nongovernment employers are far more general and include several excerpts from directories such as the Encyclopedia of Associations. The primary value of this section, in fact, lies in alerting readers to these other sources. Still, overall, this is a worthwhile book for career collections. Wendy Allex, Tampa-Hillsborough Cty.
