Candidate Testimonials

Fleet Air Arm to Project Engineer: recruitment support from start to finish

"After serving in the Royal Navy for over 18 years, I was approaching my leaving date and growing nervous about finding a job I truly wanted in time. A few days after uploading my CV to several sites, Joanne Foster from Demob Job reached out, and I instantly felt at ease. She guided me through what the job entailed and kept in touch throughout the entire interview process. I’ve now accepted the role, and I can’t thank Joanne enough for everything she has done. I highly recommend her and Demob Job to any service leaver." – Former Fleet Air Arm member, now a Project Engineer.

Arran (ex REME Electronics Technician)

I was contacted by Emma at Demob Job a couple of months prior to leaving the military. Within 24 hours from first talking, Emma had already arranged two interviews with potential employers within walking distance of my house. One of these interviews proved successful and I was subsequently offered the job in which I am now very happy. Emma went the extra mile to ensure my transition into civilian life was easy and hassle-free, it felt like a very personal service and she has followed up with me a couple of times now, wishing me well and ensuring everything is going ok. All in all, Demob Job and Emma will do what it takes to ensure you find the right job. Field Service Engineer, Lancashire

Harun (ex Royal Signals – Communications Systems Engineer)

I applied for a technical role in Northern Ireland which closely matched my profile and I received a prompt call from Joanne at Demob Job to discuss my current situation and to organise an interview with a potential employer.  She was so understanding of the daunting prospect of leaving the military and from the get-go, she was reassuring me that my skills and experience are attractive in the commercial sector.  Joanne kept me in the loop and made sure I was never left wondering where I was in the application process.  I don’t think I could have found such a good role that pays well and where I am able to utilise my skills from the military without her help.  I fully recommend Joanne Foster and Demob Job to anyone wanting to resettle from their military in the future.  Now employed as a Field Support Technician in Northern Ireland
