Success Statements

“After transitioning from the military, I found it challenging to translate my experience into civilian career growth opportunities. Although I had a strong foundation of skills, I struggled to apply them in a way that allowed me to continue advancing professionally.

Through the support of OJRV and the dedicated guidance of Kristal Watts, I received assistance with resume updates, job leads, interview workshops, and ongoing encouragement that made a significant difference in my journey. Kristal helped me effectively highlight my strengths, build a professional resume that truly reflected my experience, and approach interviews with confidence. Her consistent check-ins and genuine emotional support were invaluable during times when I felt discouraged.

Thanks to the resources and support OJRV provided, I secured a position as lead technician with Microsoft, a great job that I can be both proud of and excited about. I am also grateful to Kristal Watts for not only helping me with my resume and job search but also with checking in on me when I was struggling. She was very kind, and I really appreciated it! We need more programs that stay connected and provide the services needed. I couldn’t be more pleased with the assistance I received.”
