Success Statements

Illinois, February 2025
“After leaving the military, my biggest challenge was finding stable employment, which left me feeling nervous and afraid.
Thankfully, I received so much help from Operation: Job Ready Veterans and my Employment Transition Manager, Kristal Watts. Kristal went above and beyond, providing job leads, assisting with my federal resume, helping me secure professional work attire, and offering personal support. Her patience, understanding, and dedication made a world of difference, and I enjoyed working with her.
The assistance with clothing was a tremendous help after I lost so much in a house fire last year. This support gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. Not only did I secure a great position, but I also felt optimistic about my future career prospects.
Today, as an HR/operations manager at ANEW, I am in a stable position, ensuring my family has a roof over our heads and a secure future. I am incredibly thankful for the advice and guidance I received from Kristal and Operation: Job Ready Veterans. This agency has changed my life.”
