Kathryn Troutman, Author and Publisher, Creating Your First Resume, April 15, 2022
From Kathryn Troutman: I wrote and published Creating Your First Resume when my 3 kids were in middle school and high school. My children and almost all of their friends work for the Federal government today because of my knowledge about the federal resume and job search. I taught this curriculum in Baltimore County and Howard County Schools; plus public libraries. This article is to help the children of military families with the resumes for the next job or college search. This free one-hour webinar will give the military child and parent, the best ideas for resume formats, featuring education, work history, skills, accomplishments, technical skills… all of the best qualifications needed to begin a new career!
