Local author Janet Ruck visits Greetings & Readings for a book signing on Saturday, January 28 from 1 to 3 p.m. This new book is designed to help job seekers find the right federal job. The first part of this unique guide discusses how to find the right occupation through the career-planning process, develop a vision for your career, do self-exploration, develop needed skills, and create career goals. The second part overviews the federal government as an employer, including benefits and locations of jobs, how to match yourself to jobs and agencies, and the skills the government is seeking and in-demand federal jobs. The authors explain the federal job search process, with insider guidance on resumes, interviewing skills, informational interviewing, networking, distinguishing yourself, and common mistakes that federal job seekers make. Co-author Janet M. Ruck is a career coach with many years of experience training and counseling students and adults in developing visions and goals for career choice and life passions.
