 My name is Chris Jarvis. I retired from the military after 20 years and now I'm an Atlas Air Talon Acquisition Specialist. I joined the Marine Corps as a high school senior. I did a deployment to Iraq in 2003. I did the initial push and then I did another deployment in 2004 and then I got out in 2005. I transitioned to the Kentucky Army National Guard. I did another deployment to Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011 as a logistics specialist and that spent my last eight years as a recruiter. I saw a post for DAV job fair and since I'd been retired and then I thought about it for a minute I was like, wait, I'm not gonna get a paycheck too much longer. I need to go look myself. So I decided that I need to go to DAV job fair and just see what it was all about. I went to every table, opened minded, seen what they were looking for and knew what I had to offer. When I got to Atlas Air's table, I told them my background and immediately they were like, oh, we have an open position for that. You should go look and that's how I ended up here at Atlas Air. First day, kind of nervous. Once I got hired on to Atlas Air, the Talon Acquisition Manager spoke to me about my veteran network. I started looking for positions that our military experience would transition into Atlas Air pretty well. And we found a lot of positions that if they looked at the experience, not just the resume, if they looked at the experience and they talked about it all through, they would be able to hire a lot of them. So I think it opened up a lot of people's eyes. With Atlas Air, I get to go to DAV career fairs now and represent Atlas Air at the career fairs. Instead of looking for employment, I'm looking for service members to join my team. I would encourage everyone to go to a DAV job fair. They're a great networking event. It's a good way to assess your value. So when you go into an operation, you can see what they're looking for. You can use your military skillset and find a position that suits you. I think if you're just going and getting the experience, talking to different vendors, talking to different people hiring, you'll see that you're a very valuable asset.
