Success Statements

“When I left the military, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to find work. I quickly realized that my military experience didn’t easily translate to civilian jobs, and that frightened me.

Thankfully, Operation: Job Ready Veterans stepped in at just the right time. I received help updating my resume, transportation to work, and even securing the clothing I needed for my job. More than that, I received advice and encouragement that meant a lot to me.

After being out of work for eight years, my ETM, Kristal Watts, helped me rebuild my confidence and believe in my abilities again. I truly could not have done this without her.

Now, I’m back in the workforce as a lane inspector at OPUS Emission. Thanks to OJRV, I’m able to provide for my family again, and my life is headed in a positive direction. Kristal has been patient and supportive, and she is exceptional at what she does. There need to be more programs like this.”
