Success Statements

Adrian R.
Illinois, July 2026
“After leaving the military, one of the biggest challenges I faced was translating my experience into terms that civilian employers could understand and getting my resume in front of the right hiring managers.
Operation: Job Ready Veterans (OJRV) helped me bridge that gap. Working with my Employment Transition Manager (ETM), Kristal, I updated my resume with the insight and attention to detail needed to make sure my experience and qualifications were clearly presented and aligned with my career goals. The result was a more polished, professional document that communicated my skills in language civilian employers understood, increased my visibility with hiring managers, and strengthened my applications across the board.
Today, I’m proud to be working as a production supervisor in manufacturing. Beyond the strong resume, the process gave me real confidence to pursue new opportunities. I’m grateful to OJRV, and especially to Kristal for her patience and support during a trying time. Their help meant I could confidently present my skills to potential employers and take the next step in my career.”
