Workplace-Friendly Computer Use
It is true, Big Brother is watching. And, yes, your computer can get you fired. In this ever-increasing technological culture, there is confusion over what is and is not work appropriate computer use. Each company should have a policy or set of rules on computer use. Be sure to ask for a copy of this policy and know it inside and out. For most jobs, there is no way to avoid computer use on the job. So, be sure to keep updated on the rules. Here are some basic guidelines that most corporations employ: Bloggers Beware: Even if you don’t identify yourself or your company, having strong opinions that don’t reflect well on your employer can get you fired. The bottom line is this; if you wish to blog, keep your opinions non-offensive and try to keep an open mind. If you need to express a strong opinion on a subject, try calling a close, non-work friend to get things off your chest. No Pictures: Do not share pictures at work, unless they are related to the content of your job. For example, the person in the cubicle next to you wants to share personal pictures, just tell the person that you are busy and will look later. Take time after work hours on your own home computer to look at the pictures. And, absolutely no content which may be offensive to anyone. Games, Games, Games: If your company prohibits use of games during work hours, do not play them. This may seem obvious, but more than enough people have been terminated for using company property (i.e. your computer) to play Solitaire during their lunch break. Following these simple guidelines can help to avoid a messy termination. Employers are primarily concerned with legal liability and profit. Basically, if a company can be held legally responsible for an employee’s actions or if those actions prevent the company from making money, this can result in job loss. Keep this in mind at all times and when in doubt, ask your superiors. Considering a Sales Career after the Military?
Here is your chance to work with other veterans and find employment for those transitioning from service, while working in a team-driven sales environment. Orion is the nation’s largest military recruiting firm, and we are looking to expand our team! We are currently seeking talented individuals with an avid drive for sales to add to our Account Executive ranks. Account Executives are responsible for discovering and securing job opportunities for our candidates. You will create and maintain relationships with America's leading companies to provide a pipeline of military talent that only Orion can offer. As an Account Executive you grow and manage a portfolio of client accounts through development of your leads list, business development calls, and client visits. Once a job offer is received, it is the Account Executive who discusses the specific opportunity with the selected candidates, provides interview guidance and preparation for the candidate, and arranges the interview process. Throughout the final phases of the hiring process you will work with both the client and candidate to provide superior customer service and consultation to each. Orion offers its employees competitive salaries (you will never be placed on 100% commission) and benefits including paid holidays, vacation and sick leave; medical, dental and vision coverage; short- and long-term disability; health savings account (HSA) and 401(k) retirement plan. We believe strongly in promoting from within and as a result, present an annual leadership development program led by the President and CEO to prepare top-tier employees for the potential to earn a leadership role or become a Partner within the company. If you are current or prior military and motivated, energetic, and interested in sales, a career as an Account Executive may be for you! Please contact Mike Starich today to apply. |

JOB SEEKER SUCCESS STORY
Stephen Maxwell
Electrician/Maintenance Planner, Smurfit Stone Container Corp. Thank you to everyone at Orion International. I was in the military for six years, as a Nuclear Trained Electronics Technician in the U.S. Navy. I got out of the military in March of 2007 and began searching for jobs about two months prior to that. I learned about Orion through several friends of mine who had already transferred from the Navy into civilian jobs through Orion. |

My Orion recruiter was Quang Truong. He was by far the best recruiter that I spoke to, and I spoke to several other companies. He treated me well. He answered questions whether it was after work hours or not. He fully informed me about each position for which I was qualified and did not let me settle for just any job simply to make his own job easier. To get my job with Smurfit, I attended one of Orion’s hiring conferences, which was two days long. The first day consisted of learning about different companies, what they do, and more specifically, what certain positions actually do on a day-to-day basis. The second day consisted of interviews. Preparation for interviews was excellent, and made it very comfortable at interview time. Thanks to the conference, I was hired as one of only two people making the highest pay range in my department. Orion was by far the most informative and quickest to complete the job search process when compared to any other recruiting company in my experience. Orion ROCKS! |

According to Your Peers
“I have some advice for transitioning military going through the hiring process with Orion International. As you go through the process, listen to what is being said in the company briefs and interview-skill sessions, and apply it to the interview. Work on your interviewing skills, and don't be uptight in front of the interviewer.
I would also like to say thank you to the Matt Clingon and John Collins for inviting me to an Orion hiring conference. This was the best hiring conference of its kind I have seen in the past ten years. Thank you again, Orion, and good luck to transitioning veterans.”
- Charles Winslow, Field Service Engineer, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
“John Collins, Matt Clingon, and Orion International were instrumental in making the entire transition and hiring process smooth and enjoyable. They were very informative from beginning to end. If I had a question, they were quick to answer. Or, if they didn't know, they would find an answer quickly.”
– Leonard Lombardi, Field Service Technician, Cardinal Health
“To sum up how effective the Orion International two-day hiring conference I attended is simple; IT WORKS! When searching for work on my own, it seemed like the only sure job that I would get would be the local hardware store. Well, less than two weeks after the Orion conference, I have gone through three second interviews and have had two job offers, both with a starting salary greater than 50K.”
– Josiah Moyer, current candidate
