Over 19 Years in the Royal Navy to Project Manager: Marc’s Career Change with Demob Job
"Absolutely fantastic service from Demob Job, and in particular Joanne, who handled my application. The service was very professional and concise. I had regular updates during the process, and Joanne was very understanding when I wasn’t feeling well and had to reschedule my interview. Joanne got a new interview organised on the same day, and even after getting accepted for the job, Joanne has stayed in touch to make sure my start goes smoothly. I would thoroughly recommend Demob Job for all ex-forces personnel looking for a new job." Marc served for over 19 years in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and Weapons Engineer. He is now employed as a Project Manager.
Simon (Scots Guards)
Having applied for a role, I was contacted by Joanne, from Demob Job, very quickly. She took my details whilst asking pertinent questions that allowed her to judge my suitability for the role in a very quick and professional manner. Her communication with me throughout the process was faultless, and her openness to solving any issues was second to none. Joanne made what could potentially have been a fraught process extremely simple. I have no hesitation in recommending both Joanne and Demob Job to any veteran seeking a new position; you will not be disappointed. Simon is now a Contract Manager in Dorset).
Richard (ex-Royal Air Force – Aircraft Mechanical Technician)
After uploading my CV to several job boards, I was contacted by Kim of Demob Job, to discuss what I was after in a new job and employment opportunities within the relevant sectors. She was regularly in contact throughout my job search, application and subsequent offer of employment, to provide updates, encouragement and ensure I was ready for the next stage of the process. She underwent this task in a friendly, personal and professional manner, which ensured I was relaxed and confident, in what is usually an uncertain and stressful time. The service provided by Kim and the Demob Job team is second to none and should be every ex-forces first stop when seeking employment. Mechanical Field Service Engineer, Thetford, Norfolk
Sean (ex-Royal Navy)
“I recently left the Royal Navy after 5 years’ service and I was struggling to find a job that suited my skillset. Joanne contacted me about a job that she thought would match up with my previous role. She was with me every step of the way always willing to advise me and she was a great liaison between the company and myself. With Joanne's help I secured a job in an industry which will only expand in the future. I’d like to thank Joanne and the Demob Job team for helping me on my journey to a new career.” – now a Field Service Engineer in the North East
Jamie (previously a Marine Engineer in the Merchant Navy)
Emma was a great help in helping me get the job. She identified what transferable skills I had to match up with the job. I was a little nervous about changing career paths, especially with it being over 10 years since I last had an interview. Emma always kept me in the loop with any updates and gave great advice and information about the job that put my mind at ease and allowed me to go into the interview confident and fully prepared. I would recommend Demob Job and especially Emma to anyone looking for help in finding a new career. Jamie is now employed as a Maintenance Engineer in the North East.
Royal Navy Marine Engineer secures new career as an Offshore Technician
“I recently left the Armed Forces and was looking for a new challenge. After looking for a new career by myself I wasn't having much luck until I was contacted by Joanne Foster at Demob Job. She offered excellent service and helped me get a job offer that was beyond my expectations. The Demob Job was very friendly and helpful, offered advice and assistance with preparing for interviews, and made searching for a job as straightforward and stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend the services of Demob Job, and have already recommended them to others who are leaving their military careers.” – Former Royal Navy Marine Engineer, now an Offshore Technician.
Nathaniel (ex-Royal Engineers)
I found Demob Job to be very helpful in my transition into a civilian engineering role. After a rough pandemic, I was lacking in confidence in my skills and struggled to see where I would fit into a civilian role in my chosen field. Adrian took the time to really listen to my story and understand my goals and set about working to find a good fit. He helped me regain perspective and see what I had to offer. I was quickly matched to a great role and was subsequently successful at interview with the company director, being offered the role the same day. The whole process was seamless and quick but also considered, relaxed, and with tailored support throughout. I would highly recommend Demob Job to any veteran or service leaver. Nathaniel is now a Field Service Engineer in Suffolk.
