Meet your Presenter:
Kathryn Troutman founded the Resume Place, the United States’ first Federal resume writing and coaching business, more than 30 years ago. She is the pioneering designer of the Federal Resume format, created after the Federal government eliminated the SF-171 form in 1995. In January 2002, she created the Ten Steps to a Federal Job® method after 9/11 created massive interest in Federal positions to help protect America. In 2022, the National Resume Writers Association recognized Kathryn’s “significant contributions” to the field of Federal resume writing and presented her with NRWA’s Industry Hero Award. The Hero Award is given to career service providers who promote excellence, advance industry standards and are passionate about their work. With Kathryn’s team of 20 Certified Federal Resume Writers, the Resume Place now advises and writes more than 300 Federal resumes per month for military, private industry and Federal clients worldwide. Her Resume Place SES writers have written and consulted on Senior Executive Service ECQs with a 95% success rate over the last five years for the Veterans Administration and Veterans Executive Review Board.
