Illinois, June 2025

“After leaving the military, one of the biggest challenges I faced was feeling unqualified for a good civilian job. I wasn’t sure I had the right skills or experience. Operation: Job Ready Veterans changed that for me.

They provided professional work attire, which made a huge difference in my confidence. Kristal was especially helpful; she revamped my resume, introduced me to new job opportunities I hadn’t even considered, and was always there when I had questions.

Thanks to OJRV, I now have the proper clothing for my new position as a weatherization technician with Energy Utility Solutions and feel confident and prepared.

I’m extremely grateful for the support I received. The clothing, the resume help, the encouragement, it all made a real impact. There should be more organizations like this one that support veterans as they transition. I am truly grateful.”
