Lily Whiteman provides the kind of practical, insider advice that they never taught you in school, your friends don’t know and your boss won’t tell you.
Lily is the author of the critically acclaimed How to Land a Top-Paying Federal Job, the careers columnist of Federal Times and an award-winning senior science writer at the U.S. National Science Foundation. In addition, Lily has written many articles for the “Jobs” section of The Washington Post and her career-boosting advice has been covered by many major media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, National Public Radio and The New York Post.
Known for her lively, engaging style, Lily has delivered dozens of seminars on career advancement skills for universities, professional associations and government agencies, including Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the U.S. Department of Interior University and AARP.
Lily’s advice is based on: 1) her experience successfully coaching thousands of professionals—from interns to executives—into new and better jobs; 2) her interviews with more than 100 hiring managers; and 3) her own professional experience, which has included senior positions at the White House Conference on Aging and the Vice-President’s National Partnership for Reinventing Government.
