From RAF Aircraft Fitter to Maintenance Technician: How Demob Job Found My Perfect Role
“I have done what I believe most service leavers do and saved my leave to have a few months off at the end of their career. I’d been at home making the most of the summer with my wife and kids but with the end of the summer holidays in sight I started to upload my cv to various websites. Almost immediately I was bombarded with calls from pushy recruiters telling me I’d be “perfect” for whatever job they had and would I like to apply but never hearing from them again, after a few weeks I was getting fed up with this. Then Kelly Chandler from Demob Job gave me a call. We had an actual conversation about what sort of employment and employer I was looking for, discussed the skills I had developed in the RAF and we ended the call with assurance she would find something suitable for me. I got a call back from Kelly a few days later about a position available in a company that met my specification. My CV was sent off, I went for an interview and got the job! Kelly was there to support and guide me through the whole process and I’m looking forward to starting my job on Monday. I can’t recommend Demob Job highly enough!” Gary completed a full career in the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Fitter and is now employed as a Maintenance Technician in Merseyside.
Daniel (ex Royal Navy – Avionics/Electrical Engineering Supervisor)
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
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.
