Candidate Testimonials
Lee (ex-Royal Air Force Engineer)
Joanne contacted me from Demob Job regarding a service engineer vacancy in the south of England. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge of my transferable skills and that this is what they were looking for. Her enthusiasm and speed to get me an interview for the position and the constant updates was commendable. I would recommend Demob Job to all personnel who are leaving or have left the service to use them as they provide an excellent service and support through the whole process Radio Engineer, Reading
Ryan (Served in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer)
“I cannot thank Joanne enough for all the hard work she has put in to secure me the ideal job! I was cruising along in a position I was unhappy with for a long time and reluctant to apply for new jobs due to a lack of confidence and lack of motivation but Joanne has made the whole experience stress free and easy on my part! An absolute credit to her team and a shining ray of hope for all service leavers that, like me, undersell themselves and accept less than they deserve. I will without a doubt be recommending Demob Job to anyone that will listen to me from here on out! Thank you Joanne and thank you Demob Job!” Ryan is now employed as a Maintenance Engineer in Essex.
REME Electronics Technician Secures a New Career as a Field Service Engineer

Thanks again, Kelly!” John previously served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) as an Electronics Technician and is now a Field Service Engineer.
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
Jamie (previously a Marine Engineer in the Merchant Navy)
Emma was a great help in helping me get the job. She identified what transferable skills I had to match up with the job. I was a little nervous about changing career paths, especially with it being over 10 years since I last had an interview. Emma always kept me in the loop with any updates and gave great advice and information about the job that put my mind at ease and allowed me to go into the interview confident and fully prepared. I would recommend Demob Job and especially Emma to anyone looking for help in finding a new career. Jamie is now employed as a Maintenance Engineer in the North East.
REME Vehicle Mechanic secures new career as an Engineer Surveyor
"Kelly, you have been a great help from the beginning securing me an interview on such short notice and keeping me up to date with everything right to the very end. You were prepared to listen and understand what I was looking for along with offering good advice which no doubt played a part in me securing this position. Keep doing what you are doing!" – Former Royal Electrical and Mechanical (REME) Vehicle Mechanic, now an Engineer Surveyor.
Dean (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)
Demob Job and especially Joanne Foster were exceptional in finding me a new role. Persistently I had been turned down for a role at the final stage as I was apparently too good, only to be refused a position above this (same company different site) as I did not have experience. Joanne consulted with the employer and explained my case which thankfully led to interviews and, I am glad to say, an offer of employment which I have accepted. I can honestly say if it were not for the hard work and dedication of Joanne and the Demob Job team, I would not have secured this new job. I would highly recommend them to all service leavers! Dean is now employed as an Engineering Shift Leader in Castle Donnington, Derbyshire.
