“I got my bachelor’s in Political Science and even did an internship in DC. But I had no
idea how to find Federal jobs after I graduated! My dad works for TSA and got me this
book. It shows how to look for jobs online and gives samples of resumes… Anyway, I
got a job! So it definitely deserves 5 stars.” ~ Emily
