Professional Development Webinar Hosted by MPRA

Featuring Kathryn Troutman

Federal resumes are not private-sector resumes.

Length, structure, keywords, and accomplishments matter, and small decisions can change how your application is evaluated.

Live Zoom session • March 25 • 7:00 PM ET

Federal resumes require a different approach

Federal resumes are evaluated differently than private-sector resumes. Small decisions around structure, keywords, and how accomplishments are presented can affect referral and interview consideration.

What to expect from the session

In this MPRA-hosted webinar, Kathryn Troutman will walk participants through the process of editing and targeting a long-form federal resume into a focused, competitive two-page document. The session is based on her award-winning Federal Resume Guidebook and reflects current federal hiring practices.

Participants are encouraged to bring their existing resume and follow along as Kathryn covers:

• How to identify and surface key accomplishments, not just duties

• Where federal keywords come from and how they shape resume structure

• Using AI tools intentionally to extract and refine keywords

• Writing measurable accomplishments that support referral and interview consideration

• Organizing content so Page 1 carries the most weight

• Streamlining longer resumes into a clear, targeted two-page format

Who should attend

This session is designed for Military Police Corps professionals at any stage of federal service or transition who want a clearer understanding of how federal resumes are evaluated and how to present their experience effectively.
