“I
searched, and applied, for 2 long years. I got 1 interview, no hires,
and made
the referral list about 5 times in 15 or so applications for federal
positions.
A few attractive positions opened, and this time, quite discouraged and
frustrated, I wasn’t taking any chances. I couldn’t
squander any
more opportunities that were local because I was in no position to
uproot and
move from state to state for the right vacancy. So I bit the bullet and
purchased the Federal Resume Guidebook.
I read it in one sitting, and used the tips, tricks, and supplemental
information to tweak up the resume I had worked so hard on. In a matter
of a
couple hours, I thought it was ready for prime time and applied for 3
separate
positions. I made the referral list for all three, and got an interview
call
within weeks for one of them. I used the book to prepare for my
behavioral
interview, and nailed it, and got the job offer yesterday.
I
certainly can’t believe the results I encountered by simply
applying the
book. If I had bought it earlier and overruled my ego, I might be
writing this
much sooner. But I’m so very happy to write it now, and
recommend the
book to anyone who visits this site.the guidebook is worth every penny.
Get the book. It’s the best investment you can make in your
career.”
