Advancing Your Government Career: A List of Useful Resources

Last week, I had the chance to appear on a Live Video Chat hosted by Penelope Trunk  and Ryan Paugh, co-founders of Gen Y networking site Brazen Careerist.  The overall topic was “Career Management 101,” but my segment specifically covered “Advancing Your Government Career.”  I shared a bunch of resources that are available on GovLoop and beyond.  I’m sure this list isn’t comprehensive and you know of other resources.  Feel free to add more via the comments.
