Excerpt
The FPS is undergoing a major renewal as thousands of baby boomers are poised to retire. This massive exodus is unprecedented in the FPS and is creating many new job opportunities. Although, traditionally, jobs were offered to internal candidates first, there are now so many jobs to be filled that hiring managers are increasingly looking to external recruits.
Not since after the Second World War has there been a more opportune time to join the FPS. As there are vacancies in all areas of the FPS, it is now easier for you to find interesting work. Consequently, if you understand the way positions are filled in the FPS and are well prepared, you will have an edge over the competition.
The FPS is looking for new blood. It needs to find individuals who are eager to meet challenging jobs in an ever-changing environment. The FPS culture is evolving, and those who meet the stringent requirements for a job will be rewarded with a career that may last a lifetime. Public service employment continues to be a noble way of contributing to the growth of our country and is still considered a highly respectable way to earn a living.
Don’t Wait, Lead Now is a must-read for emerging leaders and anyone in leadership that wants to up their game— full of practical, real-world examples that highlight the traits and behaviors that create high-performing teams.
