Editorial Reviews

Review

"Applying for Federal Jobs saves the day for both the novice and experienced federal job hunter who face today's "reinvented" federal job application. It really delivers with practical advice and how-to's for job-winning applications. Newcomers will appreciate the special federal hiring terms glossary. Managers and those with management aspirations can all profit from the advice for reaching the senior executive service." -- Judelle A. McArdle, President, of Federal Research Services. 1995

"One of the Best of the Best' education and career print book materials." -- National Education and Information 1995

"What a timely bookjust what is needed to successfully apply for a federal job or write an effective resume. This is a valuable resource for first-time job seekers and federal employees seeking promotions, lateral transfers, or detail assignments. I highly recommend it!" -- Frank T. Davis, President, Frank T. Davis Associates, and former Special Assistant to the Comptroller General of the UnitedStates, June 1996

1.0 out of 5 stars Applying for Federal Jobs, September 5, 2000

Rodney Harry Harm (Fort Worth, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Applying for Federal Jobs: A Guide to Writing Successful Applications and Resumes for the Job You Want in Government (Paperback)
This book may have been timely when written in 1995 but in September 2000 it is very outdated. In particular, this book is lacking in information about federal government job web sites and new online departmental resume programs. I purchased this book primarily for KSA guidance and found it failed to deliver in that category also. This book certainly needs to be updated.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was very helpful., March 13, 2000

This review is from: Applying for Federal Jobs: A Guide to Writing Successful Applications and Resumes for the Job You Want in Government (Paperback)
I read this book a few years ago and used the information to do a resume for my sister and she is now a GS-09 with the USDA. I also used it a couple of years later and I got a position with the Dept. of Defense where I am currently a GS-07. The author gives easy to understand, straightforward advice. I am thankful I had it as a resource when trying to get into the federal system.
