Production Supervisor

Midwest
US Army, O-3

The folks at Orion are top-notch professionals who understood my needs with minimal guidance! Todd Phillips did an amazing job helping me fine tune my interview skills and referred me to stellar account executives who were able to provide me with ever more insights as to how to improve my skills to make me more marketable to employers.  The Midwest recruiting team was awesome and was able to address all my needs and great.  They were able to pinpoint my needs and were responsible to set me up with interviews with companies that were looking for leaders with my strengths.

I served five years as an Infantry Officer stationed at Fort Drum, NY, and Fort Benning, GA.  The duty positions I held included Rifle Platoon Leader, Ranger Instructor, and Battalion Personnel Officer.  This experience prepared me to jump into leadership roles in many different professional settings.  The key was finding the company that best fit my leadership style and that desired my type of experience.

This is where the staff at Orion was pivotal in my career search.  Like most combat arms officers, my background was very broad and not specific to any individual industry.  The skills I developed as an Army Officer enabled me to be able to relate to large groups of people and understand the necessity for systems to ensure efficient execution of tasks. I leveraged these skills at the Orion Chicago Hiring Conference and a week after the conference I had on-site visits scheduled with multiple companies.  The entire process from my first contact with Orion to job offer took two and a half months!
