I was a successful Marine, leading teams of up to 40 personnel in a dynamic, fast &#8211; paced environment and managing risk upon multiple lines to protect assets property and equipment valued over $5M while meeting the expectations of senior leadership. When I left that behind, I felt like I didn\u2019t belong and a lack of community; I wanted to stay in, but life had other plans for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I have a Master\u2019s Degree, but still felt lost when it came to writing a resume or presenting myself professionally in an interview. The Veteran Transition Specialist that I worked with at Hire Heroes USA coached me through the entire employment process. My VTS worked with me to create a strong resume, and set me up with mock interviews so that I could practice before the real thing. Always available to answer my many questions, I can\u2019t thank my VTS enough.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My whole experience with Hire Heroes USA was great! I have told other veterans about the services they provided and how they helped me succeed in getting my dream job of working for the Dallas Cowboys.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Hired as a Production Analyst in Dallas, TX<br \/>United States Marine Corps E-4, Finance Technician<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-success-stories"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hireheroesusa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hireheroesusa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hireheroesusa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hireheroesusa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hireheroesusa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hireheroesusa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9249\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hireheroesusa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hireheroesusa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hireheroesusa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
