Federal Jobs are among some of the best in the US!
The US Government is the largest employer in the United States – with over 2 million employees! The US government is
the most desired employer for separating or retired military – and military spouses.
Government jobs are great for new graduates to begin their career – especially this year.
The government oers stability, career advancement, great benefits and competitive salaries.
BUT the government job application process is highly complex and most people will succeed if they have a coach or trainer
assisting them with their federal resume and explaining the USAJOBS application process.
Learn how to coach your clients to understand USAJOBS!

TESTIMONIALS
WHAT CLIENTS HAD TO SAY FROM OUR 2021 CLASSES!
All the instructors were full of knowledge that they freely shared. Great job delivering the content and
curriculum- virtually.
I enjoyed the interactive course and the ability to watch Kathryn navigate USA jobs and resumes as we will
teach our clients.
I love the instructors. The wealth of knowledge can’t be beaten! Katheryn is a great teacher, she knows the
process.
Kathryn made the Federal Resume writing easier to understand. She shared her wealth and knowledge
were invaluable. The books are going to be great references for me.
Kind, enthusiastic, willing to specialize the information for each student.
You think you have a good understanding, and then you find out all the stu you didn’t know.
I love how the key to securing federal employment is broken down into 10 steps; it is manageable and not
overwhelming.
I’ve learned something new in every class; formatting resumes for high school students, recent graduates,
learning to be aware of dierent vacancies, reading through each one carefully to help identify qualifications,
or finding the assessment, and learning to counsel soldiers on writing and qualifying for a position.
The books and power points are very informative and will be key in helping me assist others in writing their
resumes.
The materials were very in-depth and comprehensive. Great takeaways to utilize with clients.
