BALTIMORE, MD – The Stars Are Lined Up for Military Spouses, 3rd ed., provides clear guidance and up-to-date information about the seven Federal hiring authorities and preference programs available to military spouses. With these hiring paths in mind, federal resume guru Kathryn Troutman guides military spouses to recognize, identify, and communicate their valuable, transferrable skills.
“The government has many hiring programs in place now to help military spouses, but these are not well-known and highly underutilized,” notes Troutman in the Introduction. She adds that she was a military spouse herself and understands the sacrifices military spouses make for their families and the country.
Troutman designed a unique resume format for military spouses, and it includes the all-new military spouse job block. The book demonstrates how active-duty military spouses can successfully incorporate volunteer positions, family management skills, relocation experience, practical and cultural knowledge of installation and government functions, and key spouse leadership positions into their federal resumes using this job block.
The Stars Are Lined Up for Military Spouse® contains three all-new complete case studies that showcase the desirable skills active-duty military spouses develop over their years of service. Military spouses will learn how to translate their unique experiences into competitive, compliant, Best Qualified federal resumes.
“Military spouses are a talented, committed, diverse group of potential, valuable federal
employees,” notes Troutman in the Introduction. “This book was written to help build the bridge for military spouses to federal employment.”
