written by Troutman and her daughter Emily Troutman.
More than 40

“I am thrilled to have
participated in this event,” said Troutman. “The Federal government is the
largest employer in the world, however, the federal hiring process can be very
complex. My goal is to provide career counselors with the skills and tools they
need to successfully help students obtain federal employment.”
According to a Government
Executive April 23, 2007 article, entitled, Filling
the Cubicles of the Future, “With a record number of workers nearing
retirement, the government needs to attract new talent and provide greater
incentives for seasoned employees to stay on the job…Over the next decade,
about 60 percent of the 1.8 million full-time federal employees will be
eligible for retirement, including 90 percent of senior executives.”
"There will be available jobs
and internship opportunities for our talented young people, and we have to be
aggressive to
help ensure that these
positions will be filled,” said Troutman, who has worked with such
organizations as the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service to strengthen and
increase the ability and knowledge of university and career counselors to
better serve their students in the federal hiring process.
Kathryn Troutman is the leading federal jobs trainer at the Department of
Defense and many Federal agencies across the US and in Europe and for
university and college career counselors. She has helped federal jobseekers
land positions with the US government for more than three decades. The Resume
Place Press is the publishing division of the Resume Place, Troutman’s
