Success Statements

“Some of the biggest challenges I’ve faced after transitioning from the military to civilian life have been adapting to the differences in experience between the military and civilian world, making financial adjustments, and adjusting from leadership roles back to being a worker. Ms. Kristal Watts helped me a great deal in navigating this transition. She assisted me with updating my resume to make it more marketable in the civilian world. Additionally, she encouraged me to participate in online classes, regularly checked on my well-being and employment status, and kept me updated with job recommendations.

Thanks to her consistent support, I was able to secure employment as a maintenance manager. While I’m currently employed, I continue to explore other opportunities due to my financial responsibilities. Ms. Watts has continued to provide invaluable support through follow-up phone calls and emails to check on my progress and offer guidance.

OJRV has been vital in my transition from the military, equipping me with the tools to succeed in the civilian workforce. With the skills I’ve gained, I’m confident that I will continue to excel in my career and be ready for the next opportunity. I’m grateful for the support from OJRV and Kristal Watts and will be sure to share this experience with my former colleagues and fellow veterans.”
