I was medically retired from the\u00a0United States Army after 14 years of service, forcing me to rediscover a new life I thought\u00a0I wouldn\u2019t have to face for many years. I did not know how to market myself, because I\u00a0was trained to focus on the team, not my own accomplishments and attributes. Writing\u00a0a resume was a foreign concept for me, and I paid to attend classes prior to discovering\u00a0the free services at Hire Heroes USA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When I registered for services with Hire Heroes USA, I received a phone call within\u00a048 hours from my Transition Specialist. <strong>Her approach was extremely personable and\u00a0individualized. I could tell she was very focused on actually listening to me and what\u00a0I truly wanted to do.<\/strong> She immediately felt that I was a strong candidate for a Veteran\u00a0Transition Specialist position with Hire Heroes USA, and within days I was engaged in\u00a0the interview process. Her approach with me was exactly what the organization\u2019s mission\u00a0statement embodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When I received my offer letter from Hire Heroes USA, I immediately felt as if my life had\u00a0immensely improved for the better. Since separating from the Army, I now have the desire\u00a0to help bridge the gap between military and civilian life for other service members and\u00a0veterans, who deserve a positive transition experience. <strong>My Transition Specialist was that\u00a0positive change for me. She reminded me that people do care and I wasn\u2019t forgotten.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My Hire Heroes USA Transition Specialist followed through with everything she said she\u00a0was going to do. If she said my resume would be done, it was done early. She contacted\u00a0me every day prior to my interview, then followed up with me afterwards. Hire Heroes USA\u00a0has given me the purpose and motivation in life that I felt was lost when I left the Army.\u00a0Now, I have something I am proud to be devoted to for the rest of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hired as a Transition Specialist with Hire Heroes USA United States Army, E-6, Infantryman When I began my transition, I did so not on my own terms.
