Ten Steps to a Federal Job™ Webinars

Back to School Special!

We have begun to offer our Ten Steps to a Federal Job Webinars FREE to clients who purchase our Writing and Consulting Services beginning September 1, 2010.

Landing a federal job requires you to invest time in learning to successfully navigate the entire process.

Quotes and Testimonials

• “The federal system is so different, we are well advised to use your book(s) or consultants if we want to be competitive, especially with the current and intense competition with each job opening.” — Dan Johnson
• “The big ‘take-away’ for me was learning that even if I did meet the basic qualifications based upon having a JD degree, I won’t get the job unless I convince them that I have the skills and competence to perform it. This was new to me, and major!” — Sara Andersen
• “My major takeaway was looking at the different job classes and learning how and why one should aim for select positions.” — Wendy Blackmon
• “The one take-away from the class for me was the fact I must create a campaign in order to get a government job and not to give up this time. The government hiring process has many similarities with the private sector but candidates must create federal resumes meet the recruiter’s needs and the hiring manager’s needs.” — Glenda Clark, PMP
