Working in the public service is a separate profession. We often criticize officials, but rarely think about how their world works. Very often, due to an inaccurate idea of how this area works, we incorrectly build our relationships with the state and do not take advantage of open opportunities for state support. This book explains in simple, understandable language how the “state machine” works, how the careers of officials work, how to use government services. After reading the book, you will be able to most effectively build your interaction with the government. Experienced officials will learn to act more productively. University graduates will learn how to start a career in the civil service.
