Success Statements
Kyari W.
Indiana, May 2024
“Transitioning from military service to civilian employment posed challenges, particularly in translating my military roles into civilian language and adapting to a different work culture. In the military, teamwork and a camaraderie mindset are essential, and I wanted to bring that collaborative spirit to a new environment. With the support of [OJRV’s] career assessment, resume development, job search assistance, and placement/retention support, I was able to confidently translate my military experience in ways that civilian employers could clearly understand.
Today, I’m proud to have successfully transitioned from roles as a paralegal specialist and IT specialist to my current position as a senior associate master technician. My experience has taught me the importance of staying proactive, persistent, positive, and productive, and I am grateful for the guidance that helped me reach this new chapter in my career.”
