Value Stream Leader

West
US Air Force, O-3

Because of my overseas location, it was difficult to start my job search on my own. I was a Government Flight Representative, O-3, in Wiesbaden, Germany, when I began to look for a new career in October 2007. This was in preparation for my separation from the Air Force in December. I wish I would have contacted Orion International sooner than I did, but it all worked out in the end! At first, I worked with a different recruiting firm before a work colleague of mine introduced me to Orion. Orion was hands-down the leader of the two. From the job selection to the recruitment team, Orion was a more professional group with which to work.

I have nothing but praise for my recruiter, Katrina Ross! It was a great experience from the get-go. All my questions were answered up-front, and the follow-up during the entire process was outstanding. Thanks to both Katrina and JP Sniffen!

I went through the entire Orion hiring process...from A to Z, starting with my application online, to meeting Katrina and JP at the San Diego office, then to the hiring conference. I have to say that during the entire process I was never lost or made to feel like I was just "another candidate" or "number" in the Rolodex. Katrina and JP were completely professional and honest throughout the duration, and it was great working with prior military since they "get it" (exactly what we're going through) and can tailor our needs to future employers.

I'm ready to start my new career as a Value Stream Leader (Business Unit Manager); part Quality Control, part Engineering, and part Manager, which is exactly what I was looking for. I'd like to thank both Katrina and JP and crew for a smoother transition than I could have hoped for. I'd do it again in a heart beat (this time going straight to Orion and bypassing the other firms) and will most definitely recommend Orion to my associates as they transition out of the military! A big thanks to Orion!
