Just the Facts: The Executive Branch of Government
$14.98
The Constitution of the United States established three distinct branches of Government - the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial. Our founding fathers, in their wisdom, formed this division of government to establish the principle of separation of powers. This creates an internal system of checks and balances designed to protect citizens from capricious or tyrannical actions of government.? The Executive is a very powerful branch of the government, considering the President s mandate to dictate foreign policy and direct the armed forces as Commander in Chief. His cabinet, the Vice President, and various law enforcement agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and Department of Treasury, are all an integral part of the Executive Branch. Understanding Government: The Executive Branch is a fascinating program that analyzes the powers of the President from a legal and historical point of view. Past presidents had differing opinions on executive power; some held very conservative views on its scope of authority, while others held a more liberal stance on the powers granted the president and a few overstepped its bounds. This includes not only Richard Nixon, but also Franklin D. Roosevelt and even Abraham Lincoln. Noted educators and elected officials offer insight on this important facet of American political science.?

Ten Steps to a Federal Job: How to Land a Job in the Obama Administration, 2nd Edition
$28.95
Ms. Troutman has written several outstanding books on the federal job application process including "Federal Resume Guidebook" and "Ten Steps to a Federal Job". Her new book "Ten Steps to a Federal Job: How to Land a Job in the Obama Administration" follows in their footsteps as a superb new volume that addresses the rigors of applying for federal employment in the current job market and on the current USAJobs website.

The overall approach, including instructions and recommendations, made an incredible difference in my application. One can glean much of the salient material quickly, which was important to me since I was under some time pressure. The book is full of useful and illustrative examples that make the techniques easy to apply.

I cannot believe how much better my application is after using this book. Like night and day.

As a career coach, I am impressed with the ease of readability and step-by-step process that the Guide to America's Federal Jobs takes you through. The Federal Goverment job application process is unique and without a lot of guidance most will get lost.

Another feature is the "up to date" agency websites specific to job searches. I've recommended this book to many of my clients.
