Team Leader

Northeast
US Navy, E-6

Thanks to Orion International, I am a maintenance mechanic at Nucor Steel. While this job is not what I thought I was looking for, it has turned out to be a better fit for my skills and abilities than what I thought I wanted! To top it off, the pay is better than the other entry level jobs I was looking at. John Teague was my recruiter at Orion. He did more than listen to what I wanted in a career; he listened to what I needed and helped me fill my needs. It turns out that he knew more about my abilities and where my skills could be applicable than I did!

When I decided to retire in July 2007 after 20 years in the Navy, I did an internet search for military recruiting agencies. Aside from Orion, I worked with one other agency. They did not even compare to the people at Orion. While the competition was produced a flurry of activity for one week, the interviews I participated in were not ones I was interested in and did not result in any call backs or second interviews!

With Orion, I participated in a hiring conference in Fishkill, New York, and was interviewed by three different companies. I received call backs and second interviews from all three companies. Orion presented me to companies that actually wanted people with my skill set. This enabled me to be successful with my interviews, and, therefore, very satisfied.
