Success Statements

“The largest challenge I faced after leaving the military was pushing forward despite being denied hundreds of jobs. Interviewing was new to me, and I struggled to find the right industry to pursue. Operation: Job Ready Veterans (OJRV) played a key role in my success, helping me find positions aligned with my resume, optimizing my LinkedIn profile, and introducing me to ‘Suits for Heroes,’ which provided the suit I wore during my final interview at NetJets. With the support of OJRV, my ACP mentor, and others, I successfully transitioned into a managerial role within aviation just two months after leaving active duty. I now work at NetJets, the #1 private aviation company in the world, under the safety department, ensuring adherence to company policies and FAA regulations. I’m earning more than I ever imagined and am excited to help other military members transition.

[My advice to others is] always have a goal set for yourself and keep pushing toward it. Don’t wait for success to come to you; go after it full steam ahead. Take advantage of every benefit available during your military service. Some of these opportunities are unique to those who serve.”
