I LOVE YOUR BOOK!
I LOVE YOUR BOOK (Federal Resume Guidebook)!!! It is helping me so much. I was totally dumfounded as to how to do these mysterious KSAs and your book helped me tremendously. Also, I was doing my resume all wrong and after reading your book feel much more confident that I will catch the attention of the federal agencies where I want to work.-Jacques ...

Guidebook Gets Results
I purchased a copy of this book about 3 years ago. Besides lots of good guidance for developing resume content, it includes some excellent examples of federal resumes for different "grade" levels. These examples are displayed using effective presentation formats that will help you with layout and "white space". I found them to be extremely helpful in preparing my first federal resume. Until then, I'd developed and used either a very detailed SF-171 or a 2-page commercial resume, but nothing in between.
Using this Guidebook to get started probably saved me half as much time as I'd have otherwise spent in crafting and polishing a new resume. I used my federal resume as part of my application package for a GS-15 position. I was selected for the job from among 30 or so applicants. I think that the form and content of this resume was a strong contributing factor in my selection! Similar Products
