Success Statements
Denise H.
Illinois, September 2024
“After separating from the military, I quickly found employment in a federal GS position but faced challenges securing similar work after relocating to my hometown. Transitioning my resume and employment background to fit civilian job openings was difficult, and I wasn’t receiving any feedback from online applications. Kristal from Operation: Job Ready Veterans (OJRV) helped me refocus my resume, highlighting skills I hadn’t previously emphasized and offering career transition recommendations. Before speaking with Kristal, I had considered a career in education but didn’t know where to begin. With my updated resume, cover letter, and license, I received several responses for education-related roles. Within weeks, I accepted a position as an assistant teacher at Bright Horizon Child Development Center. I’m excited about this new chapter and look forward to making a positive impact on my local community.”
