District Manager in Training
Southeast
US Marine Corps, O-2
Christ Hurst and Nora Liles did an excellent job showing me companies that I would pair up with well, and then getting me interviews with the companies that I was interested in from those lists. Chris and Nora were always there to assist me with anything that I needed, from creating a resume, interview prep, assistance with final interviews and guidance on what to do once a job offer was made. They were there for me every step of the process, and I could not have asked for more.
Currently I am a District Manager in Training with J.B. Hunt Dedicated Contract Services Final Mile. I am now using skills learned in the Marine Corps in dealing convoy and vehicle movement to dispatch trucks and ensure trip tickets and truck load outs are correct. The Marine Corps gave me a basic understanding of supply warehouse management, essential to my new job.
Orion was more engaged with me then other companies that contacted me. They seemed eager to begin the job hunt right away in order to get me into job of my liking as quickly as possible, which helped me achieve a smooth transition into the civilian world. I was offered a job within a few days of searching, which made for a great Christmas!
