Outside Sales Professional

West
US Navy, O-3

I was a Surface Warfare Officer when I separated from the Navy in December 2005 and found a job on my own. Then, in November of 2007, I started looking again. I had heard of Orion International while I was still Active Duty and decided to give them a try this time around. Bill Fitzgerald, my Orion recruiter, was very good. I attended two Orion hiring conferences, one in December 2007 and one in January 2008.

I was very adamant that I wanted a sales position in San Diego, and Bill, unlike other recruiters, did not push me otherwise beyond the standard disclaimer that it was harder to find work in San Diego. I am now a Sales Representative. Previous to Orion, I worked with another recruiting firm and found them to be non-responsive and pushy. (I interviewed for a job I didn't like, and they weren't happy with me when I told them ‘no’.) I was very pleased with communication at Orion, especially once I was in the pipeline with the company that hired me.
