A few months ago I attended a Transition Assistance Program (TAP) class before I retired from the Air Force. The TAP instructor lightly covered federal resumes, KSA's, etc., I was totally confused. Family, friends, and former co-workers all provided me with advice on how a federal resume should be written, formatted, and distributed. After several misses on the job market I decided to purchase this book. HALLELUJAH ! This book will take you step-by-step on the federal resume process with some excellent federal resume samples you can use on your quest for a career with government agencies. I also decided to invest in the Entry-Level and Mid-Level Assessment Service offered by the authors company, The Resume Place. If your are serious about your federal job search I strongly suggest you purchase this service. You will not be disappointed. One last item, the author Ms. Kathryn Troutman personally provided me with the assessment and offered some great suggestions I had overlooked when I created my resume. WoW, what great customer service. This book certainly deserves a "Five Stars" plus rating. I'm certain I will catch the attention of the federal agencies where I want to work.

As far as I'm concerned, Whitcomb's "trade secrets" is the bible for resume writing. Examples, reasons, surveys, worksheets--everything that's necessary to more effectively communicate who you are, what you can do for an employer, and to punch up the language so they get the message the first time.

And Get Hired Faster For The Money You’re Worth. by Mark M http://www.joblanders.com/products/the-new-job-search-break-all-the-rules-get-connected-and-get-hired-faster-for-the-money-youre-worth/#comment-101 Mark M Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:13:09 +0000 http://ejobhuntingguide.info/?p=44#comment-101 Holy cow !!! I got the book Sunday, read part of the book and more on Monday morning - Using what I read, I worked up a set of questions for a second phone interview for a Sr VP role today. And don't you know it was the best interview I've ever had - I controlled the flow - I asked 95% of the questions, I got the invitation to come in to meet the CEO and CFO. <br /> <br />When "you" are the product - listen to Molly...its putting common sense to work. Its a new mindset. Molly's insight helps you leverage what you already have and know - find out what the role is, ask the questions to determine the fit, lead the conversation - its all in your power, but it takes the mindset Molly drives home ! <br /> <br />The interviewer thought I did a great job. I thought so too, but that's amazing since they did most of the talking! Its a slap the forehead moment!!! I put the phone down when it was over and laughed. It was like "turning my instincts back on" ! I got the next interview. <br /> <br />I highly recommend Molly's approach and "The New Job Search: Break All The Rules. Get Connected. And Get Hired Faster For The Money You're Worth". I'm going to reread it before my next interview prep ! Rating: 5 / 5 Holy cow !!!

This book is very timely and targeted at the unemployed, or under-employed, or simply those that are ready to make a career change. <br /> <br />Current technology is included, plus interviews with head hunters and career counselors. The thing I've always liked about Harvey's books is how easy they are to read. Sometimes chapters may only be a page or two long, yet they have vital information. <br /> <br />One of the neatest things is this book has a Money-Back Guarantee !!! I've never seen that before for a book. <br /> <br />My confidence has been waning, but while reading this book I'm inspired to get back out there and work not only hard, but smart. <br /> <br />Thanks Harvey for the right book at the right time.
