Review for Career Learning & Employment Center For Veterans Inc., Indianapolis, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

From the beginning, I heard nothing but great things about OJRV from the veterans community. I was very impressed with how many individuals would share their positive experiences during the Career Seminars. They spoke of confidence building, fellowship, and learning multiple skills from Mike Espinda and the OJRV team. After getting a phone call from John Zeigler, I was excited to learn of a possible job opportunity working for OJRV. John's positive attitude and eagerness to help was contagious. My career working with veterans began at the beginning of this year with OJRV as an Employment Transition Manager. While working for them, I learned more skills than I can list off, but all equally important to serving my community. Not only did I gain the knowledge to be an Employment Transition Manager, but I also experienced a great deal of self-improvement from all the different training they made available to me. As a team leader, Deborah Walker has been amazing, and always there to help when I was struggling. She is a pillar in the community, the best example regarding Woman's Outreach, and dedicated to her work, all while supporting a family. Since I started working for OJRV, I have excelled in so many areas, and continue to grow along the way. All the employees at OJRV are great examples for me to learn from. Jocasta always has the team covered, Gerri diligently works to make sure that we have veterans to serve, Beverly has been passionately serving her community before and after her service in the military, Darron loves to compliment others on their accomplishments daily, Jordan brings her intelligence and experience as a military spouse to the table, Ryan enjoys giving back to veterans outside of work, Mike is an expert in training and Salesforce, John keeps OJRV up to date on social media, James is a resume guru, and of course Gene keeps the entire operation up and running by working persistently to make sure we all stay employed. I could write a novel about all the wonderful experiences, learning opportunities, and positive things I have to say about OJRV, but I believe the company speaks for itself with action. I am excited to continue working with them, and be a part of their growth in the future.
