Area Manager

US Marine Corps, O-2
My experience with the Orion International San Diego hiring conference differed greatly from my first job hunting experience with them in terms of how I was placed. The first time around I interviewed with my former employer, was promptly hired, and didn't even look at other companies. My former employer was shutting down due to the housing crisis, and I went back to Orion because of their previous success, but also because I saw it as a way to get my foot in the door with a variety of quality companies who understood that value I brought with me.
The hiring conference was a terrific way to see a variety of companies and really improved my interviewing confidence. I will be an Area Manager for Amazon.com here in Las Vegas. The job met every need I had with regard to position, location and compensation. I’m still smiling!
My recruiter was JP Sniffen. I really couldn’t have been happier with the service I received. I felt that I was listened to, and he realized that a successful placement required my needs, as well as the hiring firm’s needs, to be met. The coaching that I received from him was also invaluable.
I was constrained by location during this job search and was happy to find that Orion had options throughout the Southwest in contrast to a competing firm. On the subject of Orion’s competitors, I felt that the level of personal attention, preparation for a successful conference, and variety of interviewing companies was far and above other firms. Orion is great! I’ve recommended and will continue to recommend Orion to any of my peers transitioning to civilian life.
