Candidate Testimonials
Justin (ex-Royal Air Force Mechanical Aircraft Technician)
I left the RAF and began the laborious and slightly soul destroying task of searching for a job appropriate to my skill set. I was in contact with an old colleague who linked me to the advertisement posted on Demob Job by Joanne. I carefully read the criteria requested and contacted Joanne who promptly arranged a chat with me via telephone the next day. Joanne advised me of what the job entailed and after a brief informal Q&A, proposed to put me forward for the role of Field Service Engineer at a Marine company. I was thrilled to hear back that the company were interested in speaking to me via web interview initially and I was coached on some salient points to assist me with techniques and common questions. That interview was completed and Joanne kept in touch between myself and the company for feedback. I was then contacted back by Kim as Joanne had a holiday but I was made aware of this well in advance and Kim became my contact. I was delighted to hear that I was invited to the company HQ on Friday for a face to face interview after being shortlisted. I was delighted to be contacted by Kim to give me the good news that I had been offered the job. Joanne and Kim have been amazing throughout and I cannot thank them enough. I would describe Joanne and Kim as dynamic, highly professional, very supportive and confidence inspiring. I would recommend Demob Job to any service leaver be it imminent or out of the services for some time. Field Service Engineer, Durham

She has a great understanding of how the transition from the military to civilian life works so knows exactly how to help you.

She was able to provide helpful tips and really does put 110% effort into helping you. Overall, a friendly and helpful professional who is very knowledgeable in helping ex-military jobseekers gain employment.

After 6 years in the Royal Navy I wanted more stability for my home life. Joanne has been a key part of securing my next career and has been very proactive during every stage of job searching. She found my profile online and very quickly lined up several interviews that ticked my boxes. Even though I was searching for work 200 miles away from where I was based, Joanne managed to set up interviews that fitted in with my schedule. I cannot thank her and Demob Job enough for their professionalism and constant communication during my career change. 10/10! Now an Installation and Maintenance Technician in Leicestershire

Anthony (Royal Air Force Engineering Manager)
“Having uploaded my CV to various sites (LinkedIn, CV-Library etc) I started to receive calls from numerous recruitment agents. I quickly discovered many of these agents were merely utilising algorithms to match keywords with job specs. I found myself asking some if they’d actually read my CV as the roles being suggested where miles away from my skill set! Joanne at Demob job couldn’t have been further away from this in her approach. Warm and friendly from the outset with a genuine interest in my experience and intended career direction. By the end of the first call, it was evident time had been invested to match me with the role on offer. Her continued support throughout the whole interview process was most welcome and soon alleviated any unease felt towards my first interview in over 30 years. I’m pleased to say that despite my initial nerves the outcome was successful. Contact details for Demob Job should be included in all career transition workshops, they provide a service that can only be described as superb.” Anthony is now employed as an Engineering Auditor.
Mike (ex Royal Air Force electrically biased Avionics Engineer)
Joanne at Demob Job is unlike any other recruiter I have been in contact with as I am sure all the recruiters with Demob Job are. Joanne was friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in putting the correct person in the correct role. Many recruiters merely contact you to fill their numbers, filling you with false hope and never returning the many phone calls you make to them. From the initial phone call I received from Joanne to the last I felt Demob and Joanne wanted to get the best possible outcome for me and not only for them or the company. I will be recommending Demob job and Joanne to all service leavers I know as I wish someone had recommended them to me months ago. Thank you Joanne and Demob Job. Mike is now a Field Electrical Engineer in Tyne & Wear.
