Ten Steps to a Federal Job® Certification
Your presentation, insight, tips, and overall guidance was, has been, and continues to be TOP notch. I can truly say without any reservations that when I took your Ten-Steps certification training back at Fort Hood, TX it changed my perspective and gave me the tools to assist many clients seeking federal employment. I say thank you so very much for your guidance and the wealth of knowledge that you continue to provide for folks throughout various roles in public, private, and nonprofit roles/responsibilities.
Federal Resume Writing and the Outline Format!
- On a personal note, utilizing your technique and approach I have been asked to interview for virtually every federal position that I have applied for since 2017, I have held federal positions as Employment Readiness (Army) at Fort Hood and Fort Carson (GS-9, Step 4) a Test Coordinator in the Portland, OR MEPS (GS-7, Step 10) Human Resource Liaison with VBA in Portland, OR (GS-9, Step 5), and currently a Training Instructor (GS-11, Step 1) with VHA I feel that I am definitely one of your success stories!
- I wanted to reach out and provide an update on the position I applied for. Earlier this week I received a tentative offer and a final offer which I have accepted for the position. It’s extremely exciting and I’m looking forward to the new challenges. I can’t thank you enough and appreciate all the time you spent working on my resume. I really appreciate it!
Government Agency Training
I took your class in July 2021. I wanted to extend my appreciation, and share the news that the resume’ format I stuck with recently helped in my promotion from a WG7 “Materials Examiner & Identifier” to a WS4 “Materials Handler Supervisor”!

NOAA SES ECQ Client: When I read your narratives I almost didn’t recognize the person in the stories…you made them sound so amazing!! 😉 Your writing and story telling ability is something I aspire to!

I would like to thank everyone for your patience, understanding and assistance with this process. I especially want extend my gratitude to Ms. Banks as she truly is an amazing coach and mentor. I needed to completely rewrite all five ECQs. She gave me the confident and reassurance that I could do this while keeping me on track and on pace. I am forever grateful.
Approved!!!!! Thanks so much Sharon. You are amazing at what you do. I am moving forward with my career because you help me along the way. I am forever grateful to GOD for aligning me with you.
DoE SES Resume Client: I loved the work we did.
Air Force SES Resume Package Client: Just wanted to let you both know that I received a notification yesterday that I was selected for an interview for the SES Director Of Engineering position. … thanks for all the hard work and long days in helping me prepare my resume, MTQs and ECQs! Anyway, I just wanted to let you both know the status. I’ll let you know how everything eventually turns out. Fingers crossed!
My ECQs were certified on December 30th. I am assuming that is due to your superb editing skills. Thanks again for your patience and expert advice. You made it a relatively seamless process and a very positive one. Thank you!
I was certified by OPM and I start my SES position tomorrow. Thank you again for all your assistance, your awesome writing and editing skills, and for getting me approved!
I wanted to share the good news of my ECQ certification. Couldn’t have done it without your guidance and expertise!
I passed and was appointed on Dec 20th. Thanks for your team’s help. It really made the difference.
You are such an extraordinary executive coach! You’re tough…and you really know your stuff! However, your astonishing intellect regarding the ECQ process is beyond noteworthy! I enjoyed working with and for you during this process – and I wish you continued blessings and success! Thank you from the depths of my heart for your understanding and patience with me throughout this process – particularly your caring support when I lost my husband. All the best to you forever!!!
I just heard back from HR that the QRB approved my ECQs. I wanted to thank you so much for your help with this. Thank you!
I want to personally thank you for all your help in getting my ECQs ready for OPM’s review. They were successfully certified, the first time! Your guidance (gift) was truly the key…can’t thank you enough! I wish you and the Resume Place continued success.
I just wanted to circle back with you to share the news of my SES certification! And to thank you immensely for your exceptional coaching and support.
