Illinois, March 2025

“After separating from the Army National Guard, I faced significant challenges in translating my military experience to the civilian workforce, overcoming my lack of traditional work experience, and mental health.

Thanks to the incredible support from OJRV, I received assistance in building and perfecting my resume. Ms. Watts was very helpful, guiding me through workshops on interviewing skills, social media, and networking. Her patience and dedication ensured that I was fully prepared to enter the workforce with confidence.

As a result of this support, I secured a job in less than six weeks with Vericlean Services as a custodian. Even after landing the position, I continue to receive interest from multiple employers, demonstrating the impact of my improved resume and job readiness.

I am now more confident in my ability to obtain and retain employment. The staff at OJRV, especially Ms. Watts, have truly gone above and beyond to help me in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. She is amazing, and I will always be grateful for her assistance.”
