Review
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

Government Job Applications and Federal Resumes: Federal Res,
By samuel maldonado (rio piedras, puerto rico Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Government Job Applications and Federal Resumes: Federal Resumes, KSAs, Forms 171 and 612, and Postal Applications (Anne McKinney Career Series) (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Government Job Applications and Federal Resumes: Federal Resumes, KSAs, Forms 171 and 612, and Postal Applications (Anne McKinney Career Series) (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Government Job Applications and Federal Resumes: Federal Resumes, KSAs, Forms 171 and 612, and Postal Applications (Anne McKinney Career Series) (Paperback)
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.
