Want to apply for a federal job? Read this book first!Jul 29, 2011
By J. Coffey
The Federal Resume Guidebook is an excellent resource and tool for anyone interested in federal employment. Whether you are applying for a federal position for the first time, seeking a federal job after your military service, looking to transition to a new position within the federal government, or hoping to take advantage of a promotional opportunity, this is the book to read to help you learn the ins-and-outs of the federal application process, write a resume that will increase your chances of becoming best-qualified, and prepare for a federal interview. Each step of the process is important and Kathryn and her team do an outstanding job of making a complicated process much simpler. Kudos to Kathryn for staying on top of the ever-changing world of the federal job search. This book teaches you more about Federal Hiring Reform, updates and changes to the online submission systems, and the Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC), to name a few. I am especially impressed with Chapter 27 which details how to prepare for a structured, behavior-based interview. Federal job interviews require thorough preparation and this book teaches you how to highlight your accomplishments, demonstrate results, and tie your experience to the keywords of the position.

Federal Resume Guidebook, 5th EditionJul 08, 2011
By Yevgeniy Churinov
The Federal Resume Guidebook 5th Edition gave great examples of how to find keywords for my federal resume. I did not realize that the resume should match literally with 10 or 15 words from a USAJOBS announcement. I will be analyzing each announcement carefully and then tweaking my federal applications as I continue my job search for entry-level IT Specialist Customer Service positions in government. I also would never have known about the IT competencies that are critical for IT federal resumes, i.e, customer services, communications and problem-solving. I have these skills, but they were previously not clearly described in my resume. Now I look like a great customer focused IT Systems Administrator - thanks to this book! I hope I can land a good job that is stable in the IT industry. There appears to be lots of room for growth in the government for new graduates!

Best Book Yet on Federal Application ProcessJul 01, 2011
By Rabbi R. Karpov, Ph.D., CPRW
Of various Federal Résumé writing sources, Federal Résumé Guidebook, 5th Edition, is exceptional. Its clarity in walking you through the process, with effectively presented examples, makes this daunting process appear simple. Step by step, it explains, among other things, how to read the federal vacancy announcements so as to analyze them for keywords, which are different from what they would be in private industry. The section on matching strategies is invaluable in that regard, as is the guided instruction in the art of incorporating those keywords into one's federal résumé. Also, because federal résumés vary by targeted occupational series, there is a series of chapters addressing that. The included Outline Format for the process makes it all seem so simple.
A year since the Hiring Reform Initiative's having been put into place, much has changed in a process that has never been intuitively clear. For one thing, the KSA narratives have been eliminated, though elements of them survive in other forms. Federal Résumé Guidebook, 5th Edition, can determine the difference between your being lost in the process--or getting Best Qualified, selected for the interview, and landing a federal job in which you can shine. Especially given the fierceness of current competition, this book could not have come at a better time.

Technology Chapter Up to DateJul 26, 2011
By Charles
The Information Technology chapter is up to date with its descriptions of the industry certifications. The descriptions of the information technology occupational series are clear and concise, and should help job seekers to select the right job announcement.
