In honor of National Hire a Veteran Day, Landrea, an Administrative Assistant and U.S. Army Veteran, shares her experience. Read about her roles during service and at Indeed, along with valuable advice for employers on why they should hire a veteran. "I enlisted in the U.S. Army in April 2007 through the Delayed Entry Program (DEP). Following basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, in October 2007, I began my 50+ week Radiologist Specialist Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX. This training included classroom instruction and on-the-job training at Darnall Army Medical Center. After graduating from AIT, I was assigned to Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, where I worked as a Radiology Technician. I primarily worked in the Orthopedic Surgery department, providing pre-op and post-op X-rays, operating the C-Arm for live fluoroscopy during surgeries, and setting up for epidural steroid injection procedures." "I joined Indeed in April 2022 as an Administrative Assistant, supporting four Vice Presidents in Marketing. Having worked in an administrative role for over 20 years, this was my first time in the HR tech space. There were so many new skill sets that I was able to add to my wheelhouse as a result of working in this capacity. In May 2024, I transitioned to supporting Strategy and Corporate Development. I am also a proud member of multiple Inclusion Business Resource Groups (IBRGs), including BIG, iPride, and Veterans and Allies." "My advice for any employer considering hiring a veteran is to understand that each veteran’s experience is unique. Military service instills a sense of adaptability and resilience. Veterans bring a calm, focused approach to challenging situations, with discipline, punctuality, and a strong work ethic. We are used to following procedures and completing tasks with precision and dedication." "Veterans also bring a diverse range of skills and experiences, often having received training in technical areas, leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork under high-pressure conditions. Many veterans pursue further education and training after service to enhance their skill sets." "One of the most prevalent challenges for prior service members is transitioning from military to civilian life. Employers should offer support through mentorship programs, transition assistance, and clear career pathways to help veterans integrate successfully into the organization."

“Events like the Juneteenth Parade matter because we get to see the community outside of our office walls. Who are we supporting? Who are we helping to give jobs? Sometimes we sit behind computers all day and don’t recognize the millions of people we are supporting and the communities they’re a part of. It’s important to recognize the history that is so important to Black Texans and our ancestors, and being that I am also a part of this community of Black Texans, it’s nice to know that I work for a company that is willing to show their support and acknowledge my ancestors and the yearly traditions we try to keep on this day.” - Gabi, Senior Operations Analyst II, Texas Indeed continues proudly sponsoring and marching in the Central Texas Juneteenth Parade and Celebration in Austin. Throughout Indeed, we observe and recognize Juneteenth, commemorating the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas and celebrating rich and diverse Black culture with an emphasis on teaching and preserving African-American heritage. #Juneteenth #InsideIndeed #WeHelpPeopleGetJobs #BelongAtIndeed
