Electronic Federal Resume Guidebook

Summary: Worth the money (do the math, it's easy) ...
Review: Bought the book. Landed a GS-9 job.

How's that for a book review?

The math: The book is on the expensive side, but you have to think of the cover price as an investment. Put another way: now I'm making more money than I made when I was on active military duty (I'm a retired grunt; retired Sgt. First Class pay plus GS-9 pay equals more than active duty Sgt. First Class pay).

Federal Resumix Guidebook how-to in short: It teaches you how to organize your past employment experiences into a consolidated nonstandard resume that contains the actual words GS managers may be using to search for employees.

The book causes you to think of the Resumix system as a search engine looking for you. Does that make sense? :-)

Summary: What a great book!
Review: I received this book and think it's great! Thanks loads!!
Congratulations on a product that's certain to help a lot of government employees succeed where otherwise they might not. Having served on numerous selection panels in the past, I often wondered why so many employees "missed the boat" on putting together a "sellable" application. Now, that shouldn't happen anymore.

Summary: Electronic Federal Resume Guidebook
Review: To all,

If you are applying for a job online or through Resumix, there's a new book you might be interested in. It's called the Electronic Federal Resume Guidebook. It gives you tips on writing a winning resume. It shows you how to format your resume -- using selected keywords -- to present yourself in the best possible light to get that next job or promotion. It has "how to apply online" instructions for civilians seeking jobs and promotions in DoD agencies.

I'm not one to brag, but the reason this book is so darn good is because I made a tiny contribution to this book. My resume is featured in this book. Really. Actually, the reason this book is so terrific is because it addresses the nitty-gritty of writing an online resume (especially for Resumix) that will get you noticed. It contains strategies that few people know about.

Note: This email is not endorsed by anyone. The opinions in this email are my own. I don't get a single cent from the sale of this book. I just wanted to let people know that there is a good source of information out there for people writing and submitting online resumes.
