Training Specialist

West
US Marine Corps, O-3

While in Afghanistan, I heard about Orion from another officer whose brother had used the firm to transition, so when I began searching for a job in November 2010 in preparation for my February transition, I contacted them. My recruiter was JP Sniffen.  I can't say enough about the help he gave me throughout the process.  Not only did he give me great feedback, but I also knew that he was in my corner with any company who interviewed me.  He was also very understanding about any request I made and wholeheartedly supported my decisions, as well as my preferences, throughout the process.

I went to a hiring conference in December 2010, where I began the interview process with the company that eventually hired me, among others.  I continued doing interviews with various people within the company and also attended a second hiring conference before eventually being hired. I am now beginning a career as a Training Specialist with Intuitive Surgical. 

Orion not only met my needs but exceeded my expectations at every step. After working with Orion for less than three months, I was hired to do what I can only describe as a dream job.  The personnel at Orion were extremely helpful and obviously cared about placing me in a great company.  I received personal support and guidance throughout the interview process and knew that JP and his team worked to present me in the best possible light to every company.  I recommend Orion to any person transitioning out of the military with the knowledge that they do everything humanly possible to support your search for a new career.
