National Distinguished Candidate Conference - May 1-2 in Philadelphia, PA and June 5-6 in San Diego, CA

Are you preparing to exit the military and begin a civilian career? Do you think that your education, background, and military career distinguish you from your peers?

If so, you may be a candidate for Orion's National Distinguished Candidate Conference (DCC) in Philadelphia, PA on May 1-2 and June 5-6 in San Diego, CA. There will be positions available nationwide, with a focus on Engineering, Sales, Leadership Development, and Operations Management. Orion carefully selects candidates for our DCCs that exemplify the best Orion has to offer our client companies. We work hard to assemble a select group of the top JMOs from around the country.

Our distinguished candidates include:

Additionally, you should be available to start working within the next four months and be geographically flexible.

Shane Serafin, a former Navy Lieutenant and USNA graduate who found his career through a recent Orion DCC, explains why he feels the event was such a success: "An Orion Distinguished Candidate Conference is something that you don't want to miss. It is a golden opportunity to meet with several prospective employers all at once, all of them very high quality. And Orion prepares you well. I particularly liked the interview prep session during this conference. It helped me to tweak a few of my responses in a manner that paid major dividends during the interviews!"

Orion only holds a few DCCs each year. Click here to be considered for an upcoming Orion DCC hiring conference.

According to Your Peers

"My Orion recruiter was awesome! Listened to me and answered the questions that I had, and gave me a ton of great resources and constructive criticism. I attended two hiring conferences (one DCC and one Regional). I had 3 onsite visits from the Regional Hiring Conference and walked away with 3 offers that I had to decide between. I will be starting as a City Business Unit Leader for an on-demand car service startup company. Thanks, Orion!" - Stephen D’Onofrio, City Business Unit Leader

"The most professional and seamless experience thus far. Your qualifications are brought to life and given to the most promising employers. Bravo!" - Samuel Killen, District Manager

"In my opinion, Orion went beyond my expectation and met all the goals of where I wanted to be with a career and what I was looking for. Orion bent over backwards for me to get interviews and in the next stage of the process for companies. My recruiter was always looking out for my best interest and went out of his way for me." -Jake Gillman, Field Technician III
