 Excellent Guide for Federal Resume July 5, 2010
Jinhee Kim (Silver Spring, MD)
This is a great book for anyone who is looking for federal job- for any occupations. I read this book carefully and analyzed job; I am an architect, (although this book does not have specific about how to write architect resume), this book gives you great sense of how to write it!
I sent out my first resume and got the job offer w/ the GS rating that I wanted-
Good luck for everyone

I have been looking at books on writing a resume for the federal government. A this is the best one I have seen to date. I have even suggested to a few professors that teach resume writting and internship courses. Looking for a good aid to help in applying for federal jobs this is the book for you.

Two stars is generous. It's a shame the information provided is incomplete, especially since it's done on purpose as a way of hawking their other services and books. Based on their relationship with the Washington Post, I figured they provided a valuable and quality service. Nope. The resume writing process included a strong sales pitch for the books. If more than 5 words were changed from my original resume to the completed resume, I'd be shocked. Additionally, they currently have a D- ranking with the BBB. Too bad I didn't look before I leaped, save your money and use google to improve upon your resume.
A must have for current or prospective federal employees!! March 6, 2010
Dwayne Williams (SoCal)
Ill keep this short. This is easy to read. It has many examples of what to do and what not to do. It is written by someone who was directly involved in the federal hiring system. The chapters are catagorized very well making it easy to go back and refrence what you need. It explains what the people who look at your resume are looking for and also shows you how to read job announcements so you can tailor your resume to them. This book is the key to move ahead.
Good all around resume book for Feds March 1, 2010
Ryker94 (East Coast USA)
I am a current Federal Employee who wanted to get a better insight to the federal resume and hiring process. I think this book does a pretty good job at covering how to write your resume and apply for a federal job. I would recommend this book to others interested in learning how to write a better federal resume and learn about the process. This is a good reference book and it is an easy read.
