Success Statements

“After separating from the Army, I faced the challenge of not having enough civilian experience. It was difficult to find a workplace that was equivalent to military life.

I received invaluable assistance with my civilian resume, federal resume, and job searches and a great deal of encouragement along the way. Kristal Watts, my Employment Transition Manager, has been exceptionally patient and supportive. We walked through interview techniques together, and her guidance was amazing. Without her help, I believe I would still be stuck in a job that did not satisfy me. I am immensely grateful for the time and effort she dedicated to helping me.

As a result of this assistance, I landed the perfect job without having to worry about being in a position I had reservations about. Kristal helped me remain calm and focused while searching for the right opportunity. I feel incredibly blessed to have learned about Operation: Job Ready Veterans.

Thanks to OJRV and the Call of Duty Endowment, I can confidently say that the support I received has significantly enhanced my skills and ability to progress in my career aspirations. Kristal Watts has reminded me to always keep my head up, knowing that there are organizations like this one to help me through.

I am now proudly working as an inventory management specialist with the U.S. Secret Service.”
