From Army Infantry to Stores Assistant: I cannot recommend Demob Job enough
“Right from the beginning Demob Job stood out, this started from reading the online job advert and me contacting them. Everything about the vacancy was just superb telling you everything you needed to know. Within an hour of applying Kelly Chandler from Demob Job was in touch. Kelly puts you at ease and asks all the relevant questions for the employer and also answers all your questions making sure everything is ok. All through the recruitment process Kelly was fantastic, informing and supporting me at every step. On the morning of the interview Kelly called me to make sure I was ok allowing me to ask any last-minute questions. After the interview yet again Kelly was superb. Demob and Kelly were just superb from start to finish making the whole experience pleasant during what is normally a nervous and stressful time. Well done Demob Job, I can't recommend you enough, professional and outstanding all the way!” – Former British Army Infantry, now a Stores Assistant.
Alex (ex Royal Navy – Leading Air Engineering Technician)
Emma Saxton was great in finding me work after I had put my notice in with the Royal Navy. After an uncertain time, I was beginning to worry about finding civilian employment, but this changed when I contacted Demob Job. After speaking with Emma, I felt more confident and positive about my job search. Emma found me a job with a leading multinational industrial engineering company with terms and conditions which far surpassed any expectation I had with leaving the Armed Forces, I was thrilled. I would encourage anybody leaving their military career to contact Demob Job. Alex is now a Field Service Engineer in Cumbria.
Aaron (ex British Army Electronics Technician)
Joanne was there for me during the most difficult and concerning time of my career, the period in which I was leaving the military after 10 years not having any civilian contacts or experience. She made me feel calm and confident in securing a new career path even during the pandemic. I would highly recommend any ex-military or jobseeker to have Joanne caring for their needs. She was professional and kind during the whole process and considered all my needs throughout. Amazing support. Aaron is now an Engineering Technician in Lancashire.
William (ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
Within 5 days of contacting me, Joanne had secured me an interview in my preferred field, which subsequently led to me gaining my first job outside of the Royal Navy. Joanne could not have been more helpful throughout the whole process, keeping in regular contact the whole time and always being on hand to answer any questions that I had. I would not hesitate to recommend Joanne to any service leaver in the future. William is now employed as an Operations Engineer in Somerset.
Chris (ex Royal Air Force – Radar Technician)
Leaving the military is a daunting thought for everyone. But to leave when a pandemic is in full swing really made me rethink my options. However, after speaking with Adrian at Demob Job, my mind was at ease. We spoke about what I was looking for with regards to my future. After only days he found what I can only describe, as a dream job for me. From then on the process was swift. I never felt alone and Adrian was there every step of the way. A few months ago I was petrified about how I would pay to keep a roof over my head. Now I’m comfortably in a job I enjoy. I can’t thank Adrian and Demob Job enough for getting me on the right path to a fulfilling career. Now a Maintenance Engineer in London
