TESTIMONIALS

“My eyes have truly been opened to the process of applying for a job in the federal government. Instead of viewing the KSAs with disdain; I now look at them as a opportunity to describe how well I perform the duties of my profession. The strengths, accomplishments and keyword exercises helped me to break out of the traditional bulleted resume mindset. The material presented covered the most important skills needed to land a job in the federal government. For example, tools to build resumes and write KSAs effectively. I really appreciated the way Kathryn highlighted chapters and pages in her book to jump start the class on the information needed to get “hit the ground running. I would highly recommend this course to anyone finding it nearly impossible to navigate the federal jobs process.”
