Candidate Testimonials

From REME Vehicle Mechanic to Engineer Surveyor: A Smooth Career Move with Demob Job

“I’m really grateful for all your help throughout the process. Kelly, you made everything clear, straightforward, and stress-free, keeping me updated at every stage. Thanks to your guidance, I’ve now secured a role I’m genuinely excited about. I’d happily recommend your service to anyone looking for their next opportunity.” Mitchell served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers as a Vehicle Mechanic and is now an Engineer Surveyor.

Harun (ex Royal Signals – Communications Systems Engineer)

I applied for a technical role in Northern Ireland which closely matched my profile and I received a prompt call from Joanne at Demob Job to discuss my current situation and to organise an interview with a potential employer.  She was so understanding of the daunting prospect of leaving the military and from the get-go, she was reassuring me that my skills and experience are attractive in the commercial sector.  Joanne kept me in the loop and made sure I was never left wondering where I was in the application process.  I don’t think I could have found such a good role that pays well and where I am able to utilise my skills from the military without her help.  I fully recommend Joanne Foster and Demob Job to anyone wanting to resettle from their military in the future.  Now employed as a Field Support Technician in Northern Ireland

Clint (ex Royal Air Force Chef)

After recently completing my diploma in plumbing and heating, I had spent many months trying to find the right job opportunity. I had spent 20 years in catering within the RAF and offshore oil and gas, and have been seeking a career change, when Adrian from Demob Job contacted me about an opportunity with a respectable company which included great training and career prospects.  Adrian was excellent in explaining the job role to me, identifying all my transferable skills that would make me a good fit for the role, and after putting me forward, managed to secure an interview for me.  I am sure that had I applied direct to the company I would not have heard back.  After completing the interview, and a small skills test, I managed to secure the role and am awaiting to start the training course.  Cannot recommend Adrian and Demob Job enough. Highly professional in every stage of the process.

Ryan (Served in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer)

“I cannot thank Joanne enough for all the hard work she has put in to secure me the ideal job! I was cruising along in a position I was unhappy with for a long time and reluctant to apply for new jobs due to a lack of confidence and lack of motivation but Joanne has made the whole experience stress free and easy on my part! An absolute credit to her team and a shining ray of hope for all service leavers that, like me, undersell themselves and accept less than they deserve. I will without a doubt be recommending Demob Job to anyone that will listen to me from here on out! Thank you Joanne and thank you Demob Job!”  Ryan is now employed as a Maintenance Engineer in Essex.

Colin (Ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer)

I saw a job advertised through Demob Job and thought ‘this is me’ and I applied.  Joanne was very quickly on the case.  I found her to be very friendly, helpful and very professional.  She helped me through the application and interview process with advice and guidance and I was lucky enough to get the job.  I am truly very grateful to Joanne and the fantastic Demob Job team and would absolutely recommend Joanne and Demob-Job.  Brilliant! Thank you all, Colin. Maintenance Engineer, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

Mark (ex REME Avionics Technician)

I phoned Demob Job to enquire about a job I had seen advertised which closely matched my skill set. I was put in touch with Joanne at Demob Job who explained the vacancy in detail and discussed my background and expectations.  This lead to me being introduced to the company which resulted in an interview being arranged very quickly. The interview was a three-step process, one interview by phone, and two further interviews face to face. Joanne kept in constant touch with myself and the employer making sure that I knew what to expect and that I was fully prepared for each interview. Without Joanne`s help, support, and encouragement, it would have been extremely unlikely that I would have got the job.  Even after the job offer Demob Job still contacted me to ensure that I was completely happy.  I found everybody who I dealt with at Demob Job, especially Joanne, extremely helpful and polite.
