I am not happy with theses slides I could have been finished a long time ago, but, they are skipping and I can't here most of the slides.
By Shawn Brown on 6/20/2020
I really enjoyed this course. I feel like I learned about the resume and application process (especially in regards to federal jobs) from Kathryn. I learned a lot about the interview process from TJ. Highly recommend to anyone seeking help in finding employment, regardless the sector.

Just started with the course and I can already tell I am going to be using it as a reference as I fine tune my resume for specific job announcements.

I find it very easy to follow along with Kathryn Troutman, it feels like we are sitting down together to do my resume and I have someone in my corner explaining everything to me. She is well-prepared and really knows her stuff!
By Brent Conkle on 5/11/2020
This course and its instructor does a superb job of taking a very complicated process and breaking it down into simple steps that will certainly benefit even a seasoned professional applying for a Federal Job. With the dramatic increase in numbers of unemployment in the private sector with a large increase in public sector employment this is a MUST WATCH lesson if you plan to be successful in landing a great public sector job. I look forward to more videos by this instructor around similar content. She is a pro and I can see why she is the go to authority in resume writing!!!
By K. Elizabeth BB on 5/7/2020
This is the basic 101 of resume development so far. Looking forward to more of a deeper dive for technical CVs (e.g., software engineering, IT technician); developer / technology community advocate; and public relations for technical organizations and agencies (e.g., DOE; NIH; Microsoft, Apple). Thanks so much.
By Natalie Goes on 5/2/2020
This course contains a wide variety of videos covering very specific topics job-seekers are interested in. I was really impressed it even had a video dedicated to federal jobs created to deal with COVID! It seems like creators of the course anticipated my questions. Just as I was thinking, 'But what about...' (e.g. cover letters, admittedly not my strong point) scrolling through the list of videos, I found the perfect video for that!
