Everything you need to know, or could ever think of needing to know to land your government job. I found government job resumes were harder. There’s a lot involved and am really glad I got this book! I even learned that the government will do direct hires sometimes for Schedule A Hiring Authority and if you attend any of the government job fairs, you can ask the HR people any question that’s been on your mind, here in this forum. I never would’ve found out about these “government job fairs” if it wasn’t for the Jobseeker’s Guide by KT. Also, if you get stuck, as I did, you can just hire her to help you write the resume. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it. Good luck!

This book (and all the others) offer the best insight into obtaining and progressing in the federal job sector. The knowledge prepares you to be better prepared in writing a federal resume, how to search for jobs, and targeting your resume for the job you want. Very valuable and should be in all career coaches, federal job seekers, and college career counselor libraries, as well as for those that work with military and the community of people looking for jobs

Kathryn is a wealth of knowledge and experience in federal resume writing, and I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to best assist their clients in resume writing and job searches. She made the information easy to understand and answered any questions that came up. The books and resources supplied will be invaluable in my future efforts working with the military population. Great course!
