Meet Chris Herrera, a proud United States Army Veteran who recently joined Albertsons Companies as an Advanced Analyst in Cybersecurity Operations. Chris shares his hiring experience navigating through our Veterans Initiative, Operation Fresh Start: ? “My first opportunity to engage with Albertsons Companies was at a RecruitMilitary career fair. I was optimistic about my opportunity for success, given the number of organizations and veterans present, all hoping to find their next step in transition. When I approached the Albertsons booth, the energy was different. I quickly realized that the people at the booth were genuinely there to help. They understood the transition process wasn’t as easy as it might seem.? ? Terrence Williams, U.S. Army Veteran and Roanoke Distribution Center VP and General Manager and recruiters Crystal Watts and Zac Roberson were at the booth, not just handing out pamphlets and candy, but taking the time to hear my 'why'. I provided Zac my resume, and through Albertsons’ Operation Fresh Start, I was directly connected to the hiring manager, Marnie F., to begin the interview and eventually the hiring process. Marnie and Zac kept me informed of the next steps through the interview process.?? ? Reflecting on that day, I didn’t expect it to be different from any other career fair I had attended. Typically, I would shake hands, collect a bag full of swag, receive flyers with application links, and never hear back. To think that in less than two months, I went from seeking employment to joining the Albertsons team as an Advanced Analyst in Cybersecurity Operations is incredible. Joining an organization that values veterans and strives to make the transition process seamless feels even better.? ? After receiving the news of my selection for the role, NATANA DENZMORE, Diversity Recruiter, reached out to personally welcome me to the team. She let me know how excited the team was to have me onboard and about all the support I’d have access to through the Veterans Associate Resource Group. I am looking forward to this fresh start with Albertsons Companies.”? ? #OperationFreshStart #BringYourFlavor #Transition #Veteran #Marines #RecruitMilitary #Texas #Army #Navy #AirForce #SupplyChain #Logistics #Manufacturing #Hiring
