 Federal Resume Guidebook December 23, 2005

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!

I would like to say thank you Kathryn Kraemer Troutman for writing such a "user friendly" book. This is a must have for anyone seeking a position within the Federal Government. I found this book to be extremely helpful in preparing my first federal resume. I think that the outline and content of my resume will result in my being hired! I am that confident!
Excellent resource! June 30, 2006

I bought this after working for the federal government for 20 years! I was looking for a position after the agency I work for within the Department of Defense was BRAC'd. I needed some serious help in the KSA writing department. This book helped me tremendously. I breezed through the KSAs after reading what government managers are looking for in an applicant's KSA. Well worth the money. Oh, and I did get the job!

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.

This book is wonderful! Whenever I have a very specific question, I can always pick this book up and refer to exactly what I need. With a federal resume, the devil is in the details, and this book can help negotiate over some of the pitfalls. Thanks! Laura, Apex Resumes, www.apexresumes.com
