New Book and Webinar for Federal Employees in Sudden and Needless, but Real Career Transition – Transitioning Your Federal Resume to Private Industry
Resume expert Kathryn Troutman teaches how to convert Federal resumes for success in private industry job searches
Baltimore, MD – March 24, 2025. President Trump’s initiatives to slash the federal workforce have placed many federal workers in limbo. In response, Federal Resume Guru Kathryn Troutman has written (in 4 weeks) a helpful new guide, Transitioning Your Federal Resume to Private Industry – with samples of 5 page resumes edited down to 2 page private industry resumes!
“Facing Trump’s proposed actions, a lot of Federal employees are in shock and wondering how to proceed,” says Troutman, who has been a leading expert on Federal careers for over 30 years. “Taking action is empowering, and flipping their Federal resume over to a private industry resume is key to beginning the process.”
The main difference between Federal and Private Industry resumes is the length (and a whole lot more), points out Troutman. “Federal resumes need to prove the required one-year specialized experience,” she explains, “and they are 5 pages on average, but can go as long as 15 to 20 pages. Private industry resumes are typically 2 pages.”
Another huge problem with both resume formats — the lack of specific and compelling ACCOMPLISHMENTS. This has been a problem for federal resumes FOREVER. And continues for private industry resumes. This is a critical part of Kathryn’s webinars, books, and messages. Your resume must include accomplishments – preferably on page one — to get an interview and keep your resume moving!
Troutman notes that job descriptions for private industry openings can be lengthy and complex. They also lack the consistent terminology typical of federal job announcements. She recommends using the AI tool, ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, to pull the crucial keywords out. “Private industry uses AI for a first read for keywords in a resume,” she says. “So we’re using the same technology to target keywords for these career-change resumes.”
The new book – Transitioning Your Federal Resume to Private Industry – presents everything you need to get a new private-sector job, in eight easy steps,” Troutman says. It includes seven case studies, each with a 5-page Federal resume, target job announcement, ChatGPT generated keywords for the new resume, cover letter, 2-page private industry resume, and summary and skills for a LinkedIn profile.

Troutman’s business, Resume Place, also provides resume and cover letter consultations and writing service. Get help, coaching, editing — if you need it. For a very cost-effective fee, a resume writer reviews the resume’s length, keywords, descriptions, format, and accomplishments.
“Now is the time for Federal employees to be proactive and see what’s out there in private industry,” Troutman advises. “Having a strategically-formulated private industry resume can be your foot in the door.”
