Manufacturing Engineer
Midwest
US Navy, O-4
I'm an active Navy Reservist and went off active duty in 1999. I began my latest job search this past spring and am now an Advanced Manufacturing Engineer with General Electric. On active duty, I served as an officer in the Engineering Departments on several ships, so it is only fitting that engineering is the field I'm in now. Additionally in the Reserves, I have served as the Commanding Officer of several reserve units, so I'm used to leading personnel.
Todd Phillips, my Orion recruiter, was extremely professional and approachable and was always available to answer any questions. Orion excels at getting the applicants in contact with the hiring companies. The best way to explain my Orion experience is that with them there was always something cooking, as opposed to other agencies where I'd always encounter a cold spell or two.
Orion is top notch, and I would recommend them to anybody. All the employees I encountered were great to work with, and, even during a tough job market, within a few months of contacting them I received an offer for 25% more than I was hoping for.
