I had been trying to get a promotion with the federal system for a long time, and I was feeling discouraged with my lack of progress. Then I found this book! After following its techniques and samples, I figured out what I'd been doing wrong, and I applied the techniques to revise my application. A GS-12 position was the result! -- David Jameston, GS-12

This book contains all the types of applications needed to obtain a federal government job. It helped me land a GS-09 position. -- Phyllis Colvert, GS-09

1.0 out of 5 stars Government Job Applications and Federal Resumes: Federal Res, July 9, 2001

By	samuel maldonado (rio piedras, puerto rico Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews

I purchase this book, in order to apply for a merit promotion vacancy, I have learned that this book is primary oriented for people who have been in the armed forces in a MOS, that will provide them a transfer to the civilian life. This book does not help to a career employee, even it was previously a member in the armed forces, and in a combat MOS. I really, don't think I will take that much of advantage from this book, as from the information I have gathered through the website. I critized the title, that is not specifiying to who is this book oriented and indicating that is not for everybody.

2.0 out of 5 stars Post office section is small, May 29, 2002

By A Customer

This book says it covers the Post Office KSA'S. It covers about one third of the KSA required to get a supervisors job. The rest and not even discussed. I am still looking for the book which shows all of the KSA's, this book is not the one I wanted.

4.0 out of 5 stars Medical Records Technician, February 26, 2002

By A Customer

I bought this book for my husband. Hek, this book is fantastic. We utilize the information, converted it to his present job and he went from GS-5 to GS-6/7/8. It is good for both straight civilians and former military people if you know how to use it. Would be a 5 star if it had KSA's for the medical field.
