Success Statements

Illinois, May 2025
“The biggest challenge I faced when looking for a job after leaving the military was having my resume ready for civilian expectations and passing AI screening tools. I also had a problem putting all my skills on the resume. I just did not know how to formulate it properly.
Initially, I felt that there was no assistance until I met Ms. Kristal Watts. She helped me update my resume in ways that I could never have done myself. She provided me with a position to apply for, referred me to job opportunities, and enrolled me in workshops tailored to help me in my quest to find better employment.
Thanks to OJRV, I now feel confident and capable of pursuing any position I set my sights on. I’ve regained a sense of purpose and clarity in my career path. Knowing that organizations like OJRV exist, and that they genuinely care, has given me hope for a smoother transition and a brighter future.
My Employment Transition Manager, Kristal Watts, is a very good asset because she has patience like I have never seen before. She empowered me to take ownership of my journey and was always there when I needed guidance. Because of her and the OJRV team, I now see my value and potential more clearly than ever.”
