Maint Supv and Service Sales Rep

Midwest
US Army, E-5

I separated from the Army in August 2007 after having served at Fort Carson and Fort Knox, as well as being deployed twice. I began my job search in May of that year and came to use Orion International when my wife came across their services while searching the internet. I have been so impressed with Orion, and I owe my success to them. My future employer, Otis Elevator, is a great company, and I would have never gotten my foot in the door without the help of Orion.

I could not have been happier with the treatment I received. Upon arriving at the hiring conference in Chicago, Illinois, I was coached on interview and resume tips. It was my account executive that steered me toward sales, as opposed to management, and I was able to re-organize my interview schedule to accommodate my change in interest from management to sales. At the conference, I had seven interviews in two days. Five of them generated callbacks! I ended up with a position that is EXACTLY the job I was looking for.

Thanks to Orion, I never had to expand my job search through other channels. I had job offers within three weeks of the hiring conference! I have recommended Orion to anybody transitioning from the military and will continue to do so. I cannot thank Orion enough for facilitating the tough transition that we service members face. I had to go from a combat arms position to the corporate world, and I really feel that Orion maximized my potential and facilitated this wonderful career.
