Success Statements
Kathleen A.
Michigan, August 2024
“After getting laid off, I was connected with Michael Spayde, an Operation: Job Ready Veterans Employment Transition Manager, through the resources at Michigan Works. Michael provided valuable guidance, including specific questions to ask during interviews and expert advice on crafting successful responses. He emphasized the significance of follow-up and taught me the impact of sending thoughtful thank-you notes to interview teams, which further showcased my professionalism. As a result of the support I received from OJRV, I excelled in both phone and on-site interviews and landed a position as an access management analyst. This experience not only improved my interview skills but also demonstrated the power of preparation and follow-through as a job seeker.”
