“Greetings:
I wanted to let you know that after purchasing and working diligently with K. Troutman’s book (2nd Edition) on how to land a job in the Obama Administration, I have done it: the Social Security Administration offered me an attorney advisor position at GS 11, step 1, in St. Louis, Missouri, and I have accepted. Although I will take a considerable pay cut, I have the opportunity to jump an entire grade, to GS 12, step 1, and about $1,500 more than I currently make, at my 1 year review. Since the cost of living is over 12% less in St. Louis than where I currently live (Olympia, WA), I should do fine for the first year. As we know, the key is getting one’s foot in the door, and thank you for helping me get there!
Best wishes,”

“The first bit of advice I would give you is to go out and purchase Kathy Troutman’s “Ten Steps to a Federal Job”. I credit this book for directing my mindset into how Federal hiring officials think, how they interview, and how they select candidates to fill position. Also, it will guide you in the resume writing process as well. This is really an outstanding time to be applying for GS-1102 positions. …A great number of 1102’s will be retiring during the next 5 years or so, …and agencies are now willing to train those who will replace those who will be retiring. ”

“Kathryn Troutman’s latest book, the second edition of Ten Steps to a Federal Job, is the most comprehensive, up-to-the minute reference on the subject. It goes far beyond great information to guide you every step of the way to powerful applications. If you could invest in only one book or CD to help you work for the Obama administration, this book should be your choice, hands down.”
