Electrician/Maintenance Planner

West
US Navy, E-5

Thank you to everyone at Orion International. I was in the military for six years, as a Nuclear Trained Electronics Technician and was an E-5 in the U.S. Navy. I got out of the military in March of 2007 and began searching for jobs about two months prior to that. I learned about Orion through several friends of mine who had already transferred from the Navy into the civilian world via jobs they were placed in by Orion.

My Orion recruiter was Quang Truong. He was by the far the best of any job recruiter that I spoke to, and I spoke to several other companies. He treated me well, and, whether it was after work hours or not, he answered questions whenever I had them. He was very strict about fully informing me about each position for which I was qualified while not letting me settle for just any job simply to make his own job easier.

The biggest and most respectable thing that Q did for me in order to help me get a job was when I didn't have enough money to drive up to L.A.to interview for certain positions, and he met me after work to fill up my gas tank on two occasions out of his own pocket! There really isn't anything more you could ask for in a recruiter, and that showed me that the people at Orion are highly dedicated to helping people, as opposed than just finding jobs and earning a commission.

To get my job with Smurfit, I attended one of Orion’s hiring conferences, which was two days long. The first day consisted of learning about different companies, what they do, and, more specifically, what certain positions actually do on a day-to-day basis. The second day consisted of interviews and testing, as required. Preparation for interviews was excellent, and it made it very easy to be prepared and comfortable at interview time.

Thanks to the conference, I was hired as one of only two people making the highest pay range in my department. Orion was by far the most informative, least “beating around the bush,” and quickest to complete the job search process when compared to any other recruiting company in my experience. Orion ROCKS!
