Candidate Testimonials
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.
Kevin (completed a 25-year career in the Royal Artillery)
Emma, thank you for contacting me regarding a new job opportunity. Your help, support, and guidance throughout the whole process were second to none. You are an asset to Demob Job, and I will be recommending you and your team to friends leaving the Armed Forces. Once again, a big thank you, and I wish you and the Demob Job team every success. Kevin is now employed as a Warehouse Team Leader in the North East.
From Royal Navy to CHP Field Engineer: How Demob Job Helped Me Find the Right Fit
“After leaving the Navy I went home to Cornwall to seek employment which ended up being sparse in the engineering world. After a calculated move to Lancashire I was messaged by Joanne to discuss one of my applications for an engineering technician role with an energy company. Joanne kept contact with me throughout the whole four weeks to obtain my details and provide valuable information, motivation and assurance. I am happy to say that after a phone call interview and a formal on-site interview I was offered the position. Joanne has worked tirelessly providing me with the job details, company websites and ensuring I was comfortable with each step of the process.” Chris served in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and is now a CHP Field Engineer in the North West.
Samuel (ex Royal Navy Marine Engineering Technician)
After many false promises from other recruitment agencies and losing hope after leaving the military I was recommended to use Demob Job. I was immediately filled with confidence and the feedback was transparent and instant. I have now finally found not only a job but a career that I thoroughly enjoy with plenty of progression and excitement. This is all down to Joanne who is dedicated on a personal and professional level! Thanks again Joanne!! Samuel is now employed as a Mechanical Engineer in Plymouth, Devon.
Rob (ex Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME))
Joanne Foster and the Demob Job team were instrumental in supporting myself and my application in finding a new and fulfilling role, in an industry where my skillset fits and has the opportunity to develop further. Joanne fully supported me from the initial telephone conversation and numerous interviews to my first week in role assuring that the role was a fit for me as well as the company. Many recruiters disappear once the Job offer has been made, not Demob Job. The team continues to offer advice and support to ex-service individuals via their website and social media for no-return, this is a company with honest intentions to support ex-forces. I cannot recommend Demob Job highly enough. Rob is now employed as a Systems Auditor in Wiltshire.
John (Previously served in the Royal Navy as an Engineer)
“Joanne was very helpful in finding me employment on upon transitioning from a 15-year career in the Royal Navy. Although at the time there were limited employers advertising roles that matched my skillset, Joanne managed to find hidden roles with local companies with whom she and Demob Job have close relationships with. Her hard work, perseverance and contacts within industry managed to secure me my ideal role. I'd also like to add that her support and mentoring during the process, helped enable my success in securing employment, during what can be a stressful process. I would definitely recommend Joanne and Demob Job to any service leaver”. John is now employed as a Project Engineer in the North East.
Amanda (ex RAF Intelligence Analyst)
Huge thank you to Adrian at Demob Job for his help and support successfully finding a role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a week of speaking to Adrian, I had had a successful interview for a job that excited me and started work 2 weeks after that. Adrian kept in touch throughout the whole process and unlike some other agencies, seemed to really care about finding me the right role. Now an Instructor in Wiltshire
