    In 1995, as the U.S. government began phasing out Standard Form 171, Troutman wrote the "Federal Resume Guidebook," the first-ever book on how to write a federal resume.[5] The "Federal Resume Guidebook" is now in its 7th Edition. In 2022, Troutman received the National Resume Writers Association's Industry Hero Award for her "significant contributions" to the specialized field of federal resume writing. Among the accomplishments NRWA noted for Troutman are designing the modern federal resume format and creating the train-the-trainer program called "Ten Steps to a Federal Job" for federal resume writing. [6]

    Troutman has appeared online, in print, radio, and television to answer questions about federal careers, resume writing, and job search techniques.[9] Troutman has appeared repeatedly on The Washington Posts Federal Diary Live On-Line[10] and the Federal News Network.[11] On August 26, 2020, Troutman was the guest for a "Life After COVID" segment on Mike Causey's "Your Turn" program on Federal News Network to discuss current strategies for applying for federal job openings that continue to appear on the USAJobs.gov website despite, and in some cases, because of the coronavirus crisis.[12]

    Troutman regularly leads workshops on Federal Resumes and the federal job search for a variety of audiences, including people at military bases such as Misawa Air Base, Japan,[13] U.S. Army Fort Huachuca, Arizona,[14] and Schofield Army Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii.[15] Her articles are featured on Military.com.[16]
