VES helps Air Force veteran find job within months

In May 2026, U.S. Air Force veteran Dixon began working with Veterans’ Employment Services (VES) after being laid off from his role as a Cybersecurity Threat Analyst with an international organization. While applying for UIA benefits, he was referred to Veterans' Career Advisor LaToya Williams in the Dearborn office.

From the beginning, Dixon was clear about his employment goals: securing a remote position with a salary above $100k. Together with LaToya, Dixon spent several weeks of collaborative job searching, explored opportunities for updating expired certifications, and discussed strategies to enhance his marketability. Throughout this process, Dixon continued to highlight his expertise, including maintaining an active SIEM certification.

Thanks to his persistence and dedication, Dixon successfully obtained a work‑from‑home position with Eversana in mid-August — achieving both his desired working arrangement and salary range, without the need for additional certifications.

Congratulations, Dixon! The entire VES team is proud of your accomplishments and wish you continued success in your new role and all your future endeavors.
