Author Introduction:
I retired from federal civil service in late 2004 at the age
of 55 with 35 ½ years service and I can attest first hand to how
rewarding civil service employment can be – and was in my case.
My service began in 1968 when I was drafted during Vietnam.
Before I was called up I joined the Air Force and spent over
three years on active duty. I researched government job
opportunities while in the military, applied for, and was hired
by the Department of Defense (DOD) after leaving the Air Force.
I spent three years with the DOD maintaining aircraft avionics
systems. While on rotation in Frankfort Germany, in the early
70s, I ran into Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
technicians that were stationed at the airport. When I returned
home I contacted the local FAA office to investigate employment
options. It took me over two years to find an opening and get
hired for an electronics technician position at a remote
facility in central Pennsylvania. I spent the remainder of my
government career in various positions with the FAA. The last 20
years of my career included numerous supervisory and management
positions where I was responsible for recruiting and rating job
applicants for our organization.
I based this site and The book of U.S.
Government Jobs on my 35
½ years of personal government service
and they both provide an insider’s first hand view of what it
takes to go from job hunter to hired and everything in between
to improving your chances of landing a high paying government job.
I expanded this site to include information for
Federal employees and incorporated a
comprehensive federal employee's retirement planning site based
on the research I had to do to prepare for my personal federal
government retirement.

Site Accessibility:
The accessibility movement encourages web sites
to be built to allow people with disabilities to view them. For
example, one accessibility standard is that all images have "alternate
text" and "long descriptions" coded into the HTML. This would be
useful for software that reads web pages out loud for blind people.
Even if you cannot see our images, the software can read the description
of the image out loud.
There are two different guidelines often used when
determining whether a site is "accessible": the US Government Section
508 Guidelines and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
This site was built with a template that meets
as many of those standards as possible. It meets all the
Priority 1 standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
and all of the Section 508 Guidelines. There are several
exceptions such as rotating ad banner scripts that can't be
tagged.
Utilized standardization:
- Table structure
- Tables are built using relative sizing so that the page
will resize to fit browser windows.
- All tables have a "summary" statement that describes
what the table is being used for.
- Cascading Style Sheets
- Table background colors/patterns and bullet images are
defined using Cascading Style Sheets within the theme (instead
of hard-coding them, which FrontPage will do when themes
are applied without CSS).
- Font colors and sizes are also defined with CSS, which
allows the page to degrade functionally even if someone
does not have CSS viewing capability.
- Images
- Images within the page layout have "alt" set in the
HTML.
