VeteranTestimonials: “I like how [Hire Heroes] explained in great detail how to do a resume for different jobs and how to act during an interview. I also learned how to calm myself down in the middle of the interview. Overall, this is a great program and I learned more 1 on 1 than I have anywhere else taking resume and interview classes.” – US Soldier, Ft Carson, CO Workshop – 6/21/11 “This class was extremely beneficial. The instructors kept it very interesting. Rarely do I go to a class and thoroughly enjoy it…. To be able to get a professionally written resume in a day and a half is amazing.” – US Soldier, Ft Carson “This is a great program, probably the best one out right now. [Hire Heroes] know what they are talking about and [are] very personable.” – US Soldier, Ft Carson "I wanted to write you a quick email to thank you and the rest of the Hire Heroes team for you visit to Fort Gordon this past weekend. Making the transition from active duty military to the civilian job market creates many unknown challenges. Thanks to the teaching, coaching, and mentoring that you provided, I feel as though I am in a better position to make that change if I am medically retired. Again, thank you for your time and effort, and I hope to stay in touch with you and use you as a link to the civilian sector." "I enjoyed the class. I've learned a lot and appreciate the effort the instructors put in. I would like to than them for everything." "I think this was a great class, and felt a sense of accomplishment afterwards." "It was a great class- I want to thank you for taking your time and showing me how to write a proper resume. It has helped me out a lot. Thank you! Keep up the good work." "I could not construct a resume before this class and now I can do so with confidence, The class was kept interesting and fast paced. It helped me see how much I have accomplished while in the Marine Corps, and how to translate all that to civilian terminology." "The learning environment made it easy to listen and retain the information, A+" "The class was very good and it covered and pinpointed the important details. The hands-on workshops were very helpful, such as the interview and the resume workshop that we participated in/ The teachers were all willing to help and get their hands dirty. Great job and thank you" "I liked the training, especially the resume class and how we were taught to make our resume stand out. I also enjoyed the interview class and that were were taught about maintaining good posture and to sell ourselves to the interviewer, I also like how helpful the Hire Heroes USA staff was with polishing up our lingo skills for interviews and the corporate world- Carlton Jefferson" "I liked that there were at least two instructors to every 3-4 Marine group, and how the instructors actually sat down with us and helped put our accomplishments in civilian terms. they also gave us a thumb drive with all of the classes and documents we used during class so we would be able to continue going through the classes and learn more on our own- Mendez" "I liked everything about the class. All the staff members were very helpful and had a lot of knowledge and professional guidance to offer. The staff made me feel comfortable and was patient with me. No other program compares to this, because this is truly what most of us cares about the most as we transition. - Keep up the great work." "This class was extremely helpful. I never knew I was qualified for any job before these two days. The teachers were dedicated and involved, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The interview practice helped me get the jitters out now, before I actually have to go out there and interview. This class was a great resource and offered good contacts for future resume help. There was also good information regarding online resources, such as LinkedIn.- LCPL Hargis, Jessica Lynn" |
