Meet Shannon Vail, a shining example of resilience and determination. Despite having an employment gap since the global pandemic, Shannon applied for the Department of Defense’s Military Spouse Accelerator Pilot, offered in collaboration between Hiring Our Heroes and Deloitte. After interviewing with several potential host companies, Shannon selected Amgen as her fellowship host company. “In true military spouse fashion, I did the interview in a hotel room as we moved cross-country for new orders,” she said. Fast-forward to the present, Shannon now holds a full-time position supporting process improvement initiatives across Amgen’s Research & Development. “Amgen continues to support me as a military spouse and has provided flexible employment as I have endured another military move. I am so grateful to them and this fellowship opportunity that solidified my professional growth," Shannon told Hiring Our Heroes. Interested in career opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry? A newly released report by Hiring Our Heroes and Cicero® shares success stories like Shannon’s, and highlights resources for military spouses and transitioning service members looking to venture into high-demand industries like pharmaceuticals.
