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 2005, she significantly increased the networking for both employers and military members, not only in King George County/Dahlgren, VA, but also Patuxent River, Quantico/Stafford, Andrews AFB, Bolling AFB, Fort Belvoir, Fort Myer, Fort Meade as well as reaching out to other military/veterans from locations in the metropolitan area and nationwide.
