5.0 out of 5 stars
Federal Resume Guidebook,
By David Hartman (Little Rock, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Federal Resume Guidebook: Write a Winning Federal Resume to Get in, Get Promoted, and Survive in a Government Career! 3rd Edition (Paperback)
I have this book as well as Ten Steps to a Federal Job. What a lifesaver. Who knew all the detail needed to get a federal job! These books are easy to digest, easy to follow, then they become a resource that I have used repeatedly. These books will take the fear out of the application process. In addition, a time saver is the "free" access to templates to help build the necessary documents. I used the template, and had a problem (turned out to be AOL as the problem). At 8am I wrote an email using the "contact us" tab on the web site the templates are located on. With-in fifteen minutes, the author herself (Kathryn K. Troutman) emailed me back and stayed with me until the issue was resolved. A short time later a technical support person contacted me by phone to make sure things were resolved. If that was not lightning fast, I do not know what is. A person whom I did not know recommended these books to me, now I am telling everyone I know (and don't know) about them!

Federal Resume Guidebook 3rd Edition,

This review is from: Federal Resume Guidebook: Write a Winning Federal Resume to Get in, Get Promoted, and Survive in a Government Career! 3rd Edition (Paperback)
I have purchased many books and found a ton of sites regarding applying to Federal Jobs but none of them come close to the information contained in this book. You don't have to go anywhere else - just this one book. It clearly explains the Federal Job maze as it will walks you through all the steps needed to submit a Federal Resume. The author highly recommends the "free style" Federal resume formate verse the ones you can fill out on line and submit. The author's web site is another source of great information that compliments the book.
