Applying for Federal Jobs: A Guide to Writing Successful Applications and Resumes for the Job You Want in Government

A Guide to Writing Successful Applications and resumes for the Job You Want in Government. This book is for you if you are a U.S. citizen interested in applying for a job at any salary level with the federal government. That means: * College students or graduates of any age,

* High School graduates that have work or volunteer experience, * Current federal employees who want promotions, and

* Former federal employees who want to be rehired. Mainly, this book is about writing application forms and resumes to target and get the job you want in the federal government. It's about making sure your application stands out from the paper mountain that appears when a federal job is announced. This book offers step-by-step guidance, real-life and composite examples, and a federal career vocabulary (buzz words) to use in completing the government's new Optional Form 612 or in writing a federal-style resume that conforms to the government's hiring requirements. This book is also about developing a job search strategy so that you don't just fill out application forms and wait. You want an application that shouts from the mountain top: "Hire me. I'm the best person for this job!"
