Success Statements
Kerry M.
Missouri, October 2024
“After facing significant challenges transitioning from military to civilian life, I encountered numerous obstacles in searching for a job and securing resources. My journey faced further setbacks in March 2023 when my previous employer downsized, creating an oversaturated job market and intense competition.
Determined to overcome these barriers, I connected with OJRV and my Employment Transition Manager (ETM), Nejuan, who provided invaluable support and resources. With OJRV’s assistance, I received supportive services, and Nejuan referred me to the VA for additional support with transportation. Thanks to this support, I was able to afford appropriate clothing for my new job as a program assistant in the administrative field and received guidance on navigating my commute.
Despite the challenges, OJRV’s support has allowed me to be successful in returning to work. After more than a year of job searching, I am so thankful for the assistance and resources that have helped me rebuild my career path.”
