Employee Reviews for Federal Resume Writing Workshops:

• “Great class !!!!! Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the SES class today. I learned quite a bit. This 90 minutes was a great step for me. Thanks again.”
• “What was most useful abut the Ten Steps to a Federal Job curriculum to me was having the whole, complex process broken down into small, manageable pieces.”
• “This seminar was all I had hoped for. I am motivated to plan a student panel very soon, as well as put together a weekly hour-long group. You have a fun, energetic style – very personal! Thank you for the extras, like breakfast and lunch. I wish you the very best for the future.”
• “I particularly liked the integration of e-mail, websites and templates (i.e., the KSA builder).”
• “Kathryn – you are an expert and I couldn’t or wouldn’t dare to suggest you change a thing! I really enjoyed Ligaya’s presentation and HR perspective.”
• “It’s hard to pick out any one item [that was particularly useful to me in the Ten Steps to a Federal Job curriculum]. It was all great: the Ten Steps, the tips on the resumes and KSAs, dealing with clients, keywords. I enjoyed it all and expect it to be very helpful in my work.”
• “An excellent workshop! Thank you to you and your staff, Kathy!”
• “Thank you very much. I really appreciate your sincerity and expertise. Thanks a lot!”
• “Everything has been useful [in the Ten Steps to a Federal Job curriculum]! 95% of my clients are interested in federal employment. This workshop has opened up my understanding 100-fold, and because of this my clients will be rewarded beyond measure.”
• “This course has thoroughly equipped me to provide training to military and Department of Defense civilian spouses.”
• “I don’t know how you found about Kathy, but she is an outstanding instructor. The class was super. I had been my putting this project off for the longest, but now I am almost finished. Before attended this class, I was really lost and did not know where to start. Now the shot is not so painful . I truly hope everyone will attend this class.”
• “Thank you for bringing Kathryn Troutman to teach the resume writing class. I have been in the government over 25 years now and it was one of the best government sponsored classes that I have ever been to. Resumes are not one of people’s favorite subjects, and I wasn’t exactly looking forward to the class with great expectations. I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that Kathryn made the class live for me. She pointed out things I was doing wrong, and showed me how to do them correctly. She is indeed a subject matter expert and an accomplished communicator/motivator.”
• “Thank you for the training and in particular for the instructor, Kathryn Troutman! She is outstanding! Positive, knowledgeable, interesting, helpful and keeps you interest up. Thanks for the book too.”
• “I felt that I got so much good, useful information from her. My resumes will be much better now. This was certainly one of the best classes that I have attended in some time.”
• “The class was great and what a great instructor!! She did an outstanding job and gave such good direction!! Plus I walked away with a good resume’…..just have to do a few small date verifications! I’ve had people stop by & tell me that it was the BEST “Navy” class they have ever gone to…and really walked away with some good info!”
• I just wanted to thank you for the great seminar you did for our USDA-AMS, PST class. The information you imparted was extremely helpful. I am now revising my resume using your Outline Format.
