Janet Giles, founder of JobZone, LLC began her recruitment career as a contracting specialist for the federal government. Most recently, while serving as the Transition Assistance Program Manager and Job Fair Coordinator at Naval District Washington, West Area, her emphasis was primarily focused on transitioning military to the civilian workforce. A large part of her recruitment and program management role has included helping hundreds of job seekers develop a career plan, write a resume, prepare for their first interview, and counsel right through the hiring phase. She utilizes an extensive database of employers and job seekers, sending out a large number of job postings to job seekers, which ultimately expedites the hiring process. From 2000 to the present, she significantly increased the networking for both employers, transitioning military members, and civilians in King George County/Dahlgren, Fredericksburg, Stafford, Woodbridge, Richmond, Charlottesville, Culpeper, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Waldorf, D.C., and the Philly area to include Southern Jersey, Delaware, New York, and Pennsylvania. JobZone actively markets the surrounding military bases in the Metropolitan D.C. area to include Anacostia, Annapolis, Fort Meade, Fort Myer, Navy Yard, Quantico, VA & MD National Guard, Andrews/Bolling AFB, Patuxent River NAS, and Fort Belvoir-Springfield areas. JobZone has conducted Wounded Warrior/Veterans events at Quantico, Camp Lejeune, Fort Eustis, Florence, Orlando and has numerous new dates set for Killeen TX (Ft. Hood), Irvine CA, Fort Bragg area, Tacoma WA (virtual event), Elizabethtown KY, Birmingham AL, Columbus GA, plus others pending. Andrews AFB Top 3 Association sponsors JobZone Job Fairs 2-3 times per year. JobZone conducts 3 events at Patuxent River and 4 events at the Fort Belvoir-Springfield area.

As the founder of JobZone, Janet continues her recruiting services offering job fairs, career events, and/or guidance in career development, to meet the needs of employers, colleges, and job seekers. Janet has built a successful network of job seekers, employers, recruiters, military representation and associations, and her reputation and networking acclaim continues to rise. She works with various veterans' agencies and military affiliations to conduct military and veterans' career events in various locations.
Janet's experience and training in career development, recruiting, and networking, as well as her extensive management, marketing and sales background in the industrial community, have coincided to meet the needs of both the employer and job seeker.
