Government Job Applications & Federal Resumes (Government Jobs Series)

Federal Resumes, Forms 171 and 612, KSAs and Postal Applications For many people, getting a government job can lead to job security and peace of mind. The problem is that getting a government job requires extensive and complex paperwork. People seeking a federal government job must submit paperwork which receives a numerical score based on the quality and content of their written submission. That numerical score then determines whether the individual gets one of the few interview spots. At last, there is a book which takes the mystery out of preparing federal government job applications. Finally there is a book which illustrates how to maximize one’s rating and how to increase the chances of obtaining an interview.
