DO NOT BUY THE SERVICE, DO NOT WORK THERE
I worked at RP, and it was a disaster. I accepted a job with Kathryn based on the idea that I would be helping veterans with federal employment. I thought this would provide a decent purpose in my work, and gladly declined other offers that were for about $20k more a year salary (not wise).
Things started to show, shortly after my initial employment date when I was demoted and told that writers would write my resume for a federal job. "Okay...." I figured. At this point I'm feeling very uneasy about my employment, but have no other options. So the show must go on. She had convinced her self that I was a program analyst, and that I love "doing studies." This idea was based on a bullet in my resume that describes my work with Excel. Thereafter, she tasked me with strange and useless work. Nothing was easy because her entire company structure is based solely on half-crack bouts of sputtering nonsense.
Back to the resume and RP's services.
The first resume I received was a pieced of grammatical garbage (an estimated $250- value) and headlined "Motivated, detail oriented...." This has always been a big 'no-no' for me, and I was pissed to see it coming from a professional resume writing company. The claim of RP is that they are the experts in writing the federal resume. This is only because Kathryn started writing resumes 40 years ago and has just stuck to it. My second resume was remarkably better, but the IT writer was convinced that UNIX and OS X are two totally difference things. She also did not understand what an automation script was, and I had to reword plenty of details in my resume in fear of not being taken seriously due to technical ignorance.
Don't be a fool and pay for this service. It's pointless. And if you look at the contrast of her success rate, and the Office of Personnel Management accession numbers, you will quickly realizes that RP attributes very little to federal employment at large. If you want a service such as this, find a cheap out of print version of her book and do the work yourself. You'll be more satisfied having saved about a thousand dollars. Or Google, and you'll do fine.
Not only are the services poor and self-serving, but there is zero leadership within the company. Kathryn has never held a real job. She has never worked for anyone, and that shows. The only employee that has stuck there over the years often broke down in TEARS about how bad it was to work there for Kathryn. She barks at you, does not ask. She does not respect your ideas or input, and only values her own thought process, albeit haphazardly.
Every business process within the company is desperately broken and inefficient. Kathryn insists on duplicating workflows that are unnecessary to begin with. As the years passed, employees slowly had metaphysical break-downs and would walk out. Each of their responsibilities fell on the young lady just trying to support her family, without a raise or recognition. Instead, Kathryn enjoys berating and belittling her employees with such vernacular as "I didn't know there were so many ways to mess this up," and "are you ***? Why are you doing these mindless tasks?"
She also doesn't like black people, and often mentioned disposing of the young AA male college student because he "doesn't do anything, anyway."
What makes this even more sick is that she makes an incredible amount of money ripping off the government and Americans just wishing for federal employment. She charges the government $1700.00 to $2700.00 per person for speaking engagements--GSA gains at its finest. But there is not enough money to give her hardest working employee a $1.00/hour raise. She thinks that she "is the business" and this attitude shows by way of her disrespecting the employees. They are all disposable and worthless in her eyes.
Her idea of fixing her business is to retire.
Again, DO NOT PAY THIS COMPANY ANYTHING.
The Resume Place is only in the business of receiving money and they do not care about the quality of the product the produce. They do not guarantee anything. But I do. If you choose to engage with RP, I guarantee you will first pay $190/hr for consulting and then a much larger sum of money on each job announcement you wish to apply for. You might get a federal job. You might not. Just use your good sense.

The Resume Place - Federal Resume Experts @ Pissed Consumer
This company is a total ***, DO NOT waste your money. They just copy and paste your resume without contacting you for any suggestions or advice.
I spent $800 for a resume and what did I get? I'm still trying to figure that out, but it clearly was nothing that would get me hired. When I asked for answers to a few questions I received no response (despite this being something they promise being that Troutman claims to be the federal resume guru). When I showed the resume they gave me to folks they just laughed.
Don't even think about hiring these people. They never performed any services for me. This company is not who they say they are. PLEASE avoid them like the great plague.
I wrote my resume but I was looking for someone help edit it to look more presentable. Wow... What can I say.. it was just a bunch of garbage.
Needless to say, I am a very Unhappy Consumer The Resume Place resume writing services are a total scam. The Resume Place ripped me off with their Online Scam. Do not use The Resume Place, complete fraud!!!! The Resume Place - ***RIP Off*** Rip Off***Rip Off*** The Resume Place resumes are Worthless and Their Service Worse.
The Resume PlaceFRAUD.com. The product that I received was full of typos, case mismatches, poor grammar and syntax, strange use of bold, inconsistent use of punctuation, and more. I did not get an interview for the job that I applied for using their product. The resume that I received back from them was the exact same resume that I originally submitted.
WORD FOR WORD. They did not "edit" a single thing in the resume. Do NOT waste your money on these jokers. Never use this company!
I received pages and pages of resume and KSAs that were cut and pasted from somewhere, obviously not from the job I was applying for. I received a letter saying my resume would not be considered because my KSAs did not respond to the job announcement.
I blame myself for having confidence in this "expert service". The Resume Place they are in no way federal resume experts; they know nothing about writing federal resumes.
