SES TESTIMONIAL:
This was written to
provide support for an SES ECQ Writing Workshop for
NASA:
Kathryn Troutman asked me to write you to discuss my experience with
her and her firm, Resume Place.
I had the fortunate opportunity to apply for an SES position last year,
mid-summer. While I was confident that I could submit a
well-written, qualifying application, I wasn't confident enough to take
the chance that I might miss something. I chose Resume-Place because I
had heard some very positive comments about their process and style. My
biggest concern was the limited time I had to submit the application.
Kathryn was wonderful. I already had a draft of my ECQs written, so
Kathryn asked me to send them along to her. This draft gave her an idea
of who I was, what the agency was about (I was applying for a position
within my agency), and what I had accomplished.
Again, because of my limited time, we did a lot of work through email.
She and her staff coached me through each qualification item. What I
thought was a "good" application soon began to develop into so much
more. Having the experience and accomplishments to succeed into the SES
rank is one thing - documenting it appropriately is quite another. Her
staff guides you through the process, helping you to understand what
each ECQ means, so that you focus on mission accomplishments and
document your application accordingly.
Bottom line - I was successful in my pursuit. I was selected for the
SES position in September 2006. I am currently serving on my first ERB,
reviewing applications for another SES position within my agency. What
I learned from Kathryn and her group is now helping me as I work
through these applications.
I am most appreciative of Kathryn and Resume Place. Her style of
coaching, editing, and just as important, her encouragement, throughout
the process made this nerve-wracking experience much more tolerable.
Thank You.
