Summary: Federal Resume Guidebook, 2nd Edition
Review: Hi, Kathryn I have great news for you, feel free to post it on your website. I took your resume writing class in March, within a couple of weeks I had my resume ready. I applied for a couple of positions and guess what, I just got a promotion, outside of my area of expertise, just like that, and only within two months. I'm so happy! Thanks to your training, books, PC disks, tips, etc. I cannot thank you enough! The Resume Place, is the BEST! Maria

Summary: Who'd have known writing a resume would be so complex?
Review: I am currently staying with my two daughters in Laurel, Maryland and recently attended a TSA Job Fair at Dulles Airport. I was encouraged to apply online right then and there for a job at Erie Airport. I did so and then realized that I was not prepared to immediately attach a FEDERAL RESUME. I was told by the TSA representative at the airport to send it via fax or email as soon as possible with the application number that I was given last Saturday after applying online.When I asked my wife what a FEDERAL RESUME was, she told me that it was quite different than the one and two page resumes she has written for me. She told me that she had just received your book, THE FEDERAL RESUME GUIDEBOOK, in the mail and was amazed at how very informative and comprehensive it is. She is now awaiting the templates that she ordered, but warned me that this was not something she could whip up in a few hours. She suggested that I contact you and the impressive team of professionals at THE RESUME PLACE for some urgent help! I am not sure that I can afford your services in my state of unemployment, but my wife said, after reading your book, that she was quite sure that I couldn't afford to be WITHOUT your professional help! I don't know if looking for a new career in government at my age is realistic, but I am determined to give it a try if you feel it is in the realm of possible. Thanks for writing such a wonderful book. I wish I had read it 35 years ago!

Summary: Federal Resume Guidebook 3rd Edition
Review: 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.

Summary: Guidebook Gets Results
Review: 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!
