Student Federal Career Guidebook

The first book ever written to help students – Graduates and

Undergraduates – search for, write a correct “Federal”

resume, and land Federal jobs and internships!

"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!"
