I sometimes work with high achieving GS-14 and 15's in helping them develop their ECQs and I've been asked about this book, but didn't know what to say because I never looked at or read this book.
I finally purchased it to see how closely the content and approach is to the guidance I give on ECQ writing. It's right on target and clearly captures the many facets of the SES application process, including cleaning up a resume that one would submit for an SES vacancy and the amount of prep needed to successfully capture past experience to address the ECQs. ECQs are sometimes required need when applying for an SES position as part of the executive screening process of applicants, and they will be required when an applicant is selected for an SES position. Either way clean up is required on the final set of ECQs that go to the OPM QRB if you are selected for the position.
The exercises in this book center around how best to plan what experiences and accomplishments you should add to your resume or the final ECQs are very good. It would serve the reader well in taking the time to go through the process of pulling up experiences and accomplishments then doing the work to outline and develop content that will either go towards polishing up a resume for a federal executive position, or doing the work needed to properly write and address competencies that make up each of the ECQs.
I've read a lot of ECQs in my time and it would have been helpful for some of the candidates to use this book and the information in it to supplement whatever resources the hiring agency provided. I wish I would have picked this up myself, it would could have certainly helped enhance and better understand what was required and the thought around why it was important to have narratives that matched up with and addressed the ECQ competencies.
There is no magic formula or quick trick to getting through the application and final selection process into the Senior Executive Service. This book will make the understanding of the process easier. The hard work and time you must devote is worth it in the end when you are approved by the QRB.
