Life Saver!, 2008-06-26
I purchased the book "Ten Steps to a Federal Job" in January of this year 2008. I filled out my first application after reading the book in March 2008 was interviewed May 21,2008 and offered a job with the Federal Government on June 4, 2008!!!!!!! I started June 23, 2008.

I am so excited after 12 years of trying and going through the process so incorrectly, *I figured that out after reading the book*.

I would recommend you purchase the book immediately if you had any hesitations before don't it absolutely worked for me! If you are tired of working for the private sector and want to get into the highly competitive Federal Government get this book.

It is a must have and a best seller in my book!

Thank you Kathryn Troutman :)

Great Book... For Real, 2007-12-27
I just used this book to apply for a job with the Federal Bureau of Prisons a month ago. I received a response via email and two weeks ago I received a notification. This book was really helpful on assisting me with my resume. This is really an investment that you should get.

Best employment book I have ever read!, 2007-11-18
I had been looking for a Federal job for five years; after reading and applying the principles in this book, I landed a GREAT position at the VA within weeks! This book prepared me for all aspects of the selection process ...right down to the second interview, the questioning process, and how to follow up. If there is one book to have in your search for a Federal job, it's this one. Use this and any resources that Ms. Troutman has ...it is well worth any price!

Generalized but included good ideas, 2007-05-12
This book gives hints and advice for any type of federal job applicant. If you're seeking information specific to an agency, you will NOT find it here. However, this book has outstanding sample interview questions- I would have never thought of them but can see them asked in any interview. Also, there are about 15 different resume formats with tips on information that federal resumes require that you would never list on a private sector resume. All in all, this book was helpful in creating a great federal resume and preparation for general interview questions. Again, don't count on it for specific agency information.

If you want to work in the federal government, you must read this book!, 2007-03-18
Having read several books on how to gain employment in the federal sector, Kathryn Troutman has been able to succinctly explain how to position yourself for success in seeking a civil service opportunity. She shares her vast knowlege of the federal hiring process in a way that is easy to understand as well as implement. By investing the time in reading this book, you will have taken the first, probably most important step, toward being granted an interview for a federal opportunity!
