Join us in congratulating Rob, a former AbilityOne® employee of Employment Source, a ServiceSource affiliate, who recently landed a position with the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Rob began his journey with Employment Source in March 2018 as a Receptionist, supporting our AbilityOne contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. In this role, he developed a diverse skillset that contributed to his personal and professional growth, from sorting mail and renaming veteran files to enhancing his social skills through daily interactions with colleagues. “His ability to rename 250-325 files per day is truly remarkable,” shared Employment Source Project Manager Tyeesha Mason. Rob's focus and dedication to excellence were clear in his daily work, driven by his personal motto, “Always try to reach a higher goal daily." Thanks to the skills and experience he gained at Employment Source, Rob achieved his goal of being hired by the Veterans Affairs Medical Center as a Medical Support Assistant. Congratulations, Rob, on this significant accomplishment, and best of luck in your new role!
