Some of the fraudulent Federal job companies simply sell packages of information, while promoting them as “inside track” reports. Others lead you to believe that taking their practice exams or filling out their application forms greatly increases your likelihood of landing a Federal job. The cost of these “Federal job aids” ranges from the ol’ bargain-basement price of $19.95 up to $80 or more.
But what they don’t tell you, is that Federal job information and application forms are always free and readily available from government agencies. In fact, these days you can even apply on line or submit your resume directly to most agencies. They also fail to mention that the Federal government has eliminated exams for many of its jobs. Even if exams are required, the agencies administering them typically offer free sample questions once they’ve scheduled you to take their exams. Some of the exams, such as for the U.S. Postal Service, test your aptitude. You can’t really study in advance for an aptitude exam. You’ve either got it already or you don’t, regardless of how many times you take so-called practice exams.
