"Kathy Troutman is the master of the Federal resume. Follow her advice and you'll have the competitive edge." -- Michael S. Dobson, author, Managing Up! 59 Ways to Build a Career-Advancing Relationship with Your Boss

They, the father and son, figured that with 30 years of covering the federal establishment I would have special insights. That I would know who to see, where to go and what to do when they got there. I told him to get a copy of the Federal Resume Guidebook. There was a time, eons ago, when you went to a federal agency, filled out a form, took a test and maybe, maybe, maybe, heard back and got a job. But that was then and this is now. --Mike Causey, Federal News Radio<br /><br />When it comes to federal resume writing, there is no one with the depth and quality of information that Kathryn Troutman has. With 30+ years of experience preparing federal resumes, she knows the inside secrets for what it takes to get noticed and get hired! --Wendy S. Enelow, CCM, MRW, JCTC, CPRW, Executive Director - Career Masters Institute<br /><br />Widely recognized as the indisputable go-to expert on federal resumes, Troutman has updated her classic book by introducing a new outline format that easily morphs into any resume builder - a transformational concept in this usage, but not unlike school assignments calling for you to turn in the title and outline of an assigned paper to avoid wasting time and missing the mark with useless information.

Additionally, Troutman has penned more new chapters in the Federal Resume Guidebook, 4th Edition, including tips on three ways to write KSAs (long, short and list-style), and on mastering the quesionnaires (a new assessment portion on the federal application). Full disclosure: I never write a word about federal resumes without checking with Kathryn Troutman. Which is why I always know what I'm talking about on this highly specialized topic. --Joyce Lain Kennedy, Syndicated Careers Columnist, Tribune Media Services; and Author, Resumes for Dummies, 5th Ed.
