Federal Resume Guidebook
By Kathryn K. Troutman, ISBN: 1563705451
When applying for U.S. government jobs, you'll typically have a choice of submitting your resume or a standard form. But, in either case, the application instructions can be quite complicated, thanks to the government's fondness of red tape and official jargon. Yet, you must follow them to the letter. For example, you'll likely receive instructions to tailor your resume and supplement it with a fact sheet (KSA or KSAO) that highlights your knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics. Troutman's book is designed to help you interpret and successfully implement the process.
