Success Statements
Corey P.
Illinois, August 2024
“Transitioning from the military to civilian employment presented significant challenges, including adapting to new organizational practices and navigating a competitive job market. With the support of my Employment Transition Manager, Kristal Watts, I received assistance with resume updates, job leads, mock interviews, and access to appropriate work attire. Kristal’s guidance and support helped me secure full-time employment with Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina as a licensed health insurance agent. Thanks to OJRV and the Call of Duty Endowment, I was able to obtain a position that I am comfortable with and that agrees with my skills. Kristal Watts was a complete inspiration to me, and I am grateful that she took the time and effort to help prepare me to move forward in my endeavors. She is a wonderful listener and a great mentor. I am glad that I was sent her way.”
