“We’re trying to be the strongest link between military leaders and industry careers. As an employment coordinator, I am focused on making sure that our middle enlisted have all the tools necessary to make their transitions into the civilian sector as easy as possible.” – Dina Anderson, Employment Coordinator at NextOp
“We’re making sure that a veteran doesn’t have to travel all over the place to find a resource and go to a different place to find another resource there. It’s all co-located, so it makes it seamless for the veteran.” – Dina Anderson, Employment Coordinator at NextOp
“Own your transition because you’re the one that’s in control of it. Be confident and be able to market yourself. You are your own walking billboard.” – Dina Anderson, Employment Coordinator at NextOp
“A lot of times, we get resumes that we like to say ‘smell like combat boots’– they are resumes that read like they’re from the military.” – Dina Anderson, Employment Coordinator at NextOp
“We’re that warm connection to the company. A lot of times, veterans will apply and say ‘I don’t know who to talk to’ or ‘I never heard back.’ We’re that ‘in’ for that company.” – Dina Anderson, Employment Coordinator at NextOp
