Interviews were arranged, taking into consideration my current employment, and regular updates were provided.  This all resulted in a job offer.  A huge thanks to Joanne at Demob job, you’re a huge asset to the service leaver community.”  Andrew is now employed as a  Senior Aviation Engineer in Hertfordshire.

From REME Aircraft Engineer to Engineer Surveyor: Expert Support Every Step of the Way

"Kelly reached out to me about a role she was working on helping me through the application process. She talked me through the kind of technical questions I could expect in the interview, which made a big difference going in prepared. She also chased things up with the company keeping me posted on where things stood, so I always knew what was happening rather than being left guessing. From first contact to actually starting the job was about 6 weeks, which felt like a genuinely quick and straightforward process. Would highly recommend."  Zav previously served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) as an Aircraft Engineer, now employed as an Engineer Surveyor.

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.

Richard (ex British Army – Royal Signals Electrician)

I was contacted by Joanne Foster from Demob Job recruitment agency regarding an exciting opportunity within a national engineering company.  Throughout the recruitment process I was kept fully informed at every stage of the selection process, the communication was excellent and at no stage was I left not knowing exactly what was expected from me.  I would like to thank Joanne for all the hard work she has done over the last four months.  Richard is now employed as a Service Engineer in Kent.

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.
