Hired as a Physical Security Specialist

\"Thomas<\/a>I had several challenges when I transitioned from 30 years of Army service; the first was building my resume.\u00a0 The Army\u2019s Transition Assistance Program showed me how to draft a resume, but did not have the time or manpower help me improve my draft.\u00a0 While I consider myself a very competent writer, my draft resume was nowhere near the executive level of the resume that Hire Heroes USA helped prepare for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hire Heroes USA was instrumental in assisting me find employment.\u00a0 My Veteran Transition Specialist showed me how best to manage online job searches, and found suitable leads to get me started.\u00a0 Even though I did not secure the first couple of employment leads provided, going through the process was invaluable. I was also able to prepare for upcoming interviews with a Hire Heroes USA volunteer mock interviewer. Working with this organization boosted my confidence at every level.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Hire Heroes USA Veteran Transition Specialist acted as a mentor, confidant and employment professional that was absolutely dedicated to assisting me throughout this process.\u00a0 I owe him more than he could ever imagine.\u00a0 His efforts, advice and general conversation regarding employment provided sound perspective that I could trust and relate to, and it steered me on the correct course, ultimately helping me secure very good employment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
