Success Statements

“One of the biggest challenges I faced during my transition from the military to the civilian workforce was that many of the valuable skills I developed in the military didn’t directly translate to what most employers in the civilian sector were looking for. While leadership, discipline, and problem-solving were second nature to me, I found that without industry-specific experience or certifications, it was tough to show how my military background made me a strong candidate for certain roles.

Thanks to the support I received, I was able to refine my resume to better highlight my military experience in a way that civilian employers could understand. This support made it easier to showcase my transferable skills and align my background with the qualifications employers were seeking.

I’m proud to say that I was able to secure a position as a career navigator at Ohio Valley Goodwill. Beyond just resume help, the team at OJRV checked in with me regularly, offering encouragement and guidance throughout the process. Having that ongoing support made a huge difference—it kept me motivated and reassured me that I was on the right track.

I really appreciate everything OJRV did for me. The support felt personal. They took the time to understand my background, helped me translate my skills, and encourage me along the way. Their help made a big difference in my job search, and I’m grateful for their help.”
