Talent Acquisition Specialist Mel Gilpin is a graduate of Avian's Leadership Development Program, a one-year program to develop employees’ skills and knowledge. Avian supports NAVAIR programs in the Pax River area of Southern Maryland, among other opportunities. Learn about Coffee with Kevin, Jump Balls, and the importance of transparency with your recruiter.

“We always want to help people find the right roles. I always suggest that when people are engaging with their recruiter or their talent acquisition specialists, they want to be honest and transparent about their needs and requirements. It may feel really tempting to say, 'Oh yeah, of course I'd be willing to do that' and throw that wide net out there and see what comes in. But ultimately, you want to make sure that your recruiter knows exactly, 'These are my lines in the sand. I will not accept these types of positions.' I'm a firm believer in not showing the bride a dress outside of her budget.”
