"For a number of reasons, our graduate students find writing KSAs difficult and very challenging. Your book, The Students' Federal Career Guide, takes this process and really breaks it down for the students. The strategies and the samples have really been useful for our students and I have seen definite improvements in their KSAs after reading this section of your book.
Thank you so much!"

A Great Resource for Federal Job Seekers, May 8, 2007
Let's face it, the federal hiring process can be quite complicated and arduous. Even if you are highly qualified, obtaining a federal job can be extremely difficult if you are unfamiliar with the requirements of the government. As a graduate student of public administration, I was confident that I had suitable knowledge and skills to land a federal position, yet I was intimidated by the federal hiring process. I believe that The Student's Federal Career Guide was instrumental in guiding me through the process. By following the book's suggestions and tailoring my resume to the samples provided in the book, I landed a position with the agency of my choice.
The book is well organized as the chapters cover all the steps from how to locate opportunities to preparing for the interview. Much of the book is devoted purely to students who are seeking current or future employment with the federal government. There are a myriad of suggested resources for exploring student opportunities such as internships and part-time employment. The Student's Federal Career Guide will provide you with invaluable information on obtaining a position with the federal government.

There is a lot of interest in federal employment among college students, and I know with the masses retiring from federal government that the government will be interested in them as well. I know if you wrote a book on entry-level employment in federal government, we'd definitely get it for our students. Thanks!"
