Candidate Testimonials
Gemma (ex Royal Armoured Corps and Royal Corps of Signals)
Leaving the British Army during a pandemic was something I never expected to happen. I was quite concerned with the employment opportunities, however I managed to find a job I was interested in and applied to Joanne at Demob Job. Joanne rang me the very next day to set up an interview. The communication was second to none through the whole process, and Joanne was brilliant. Joanne gave me some brilliant advice to prep for my interview and even followed up on the day. I am proud to say the interview was successful and I was offered the job which would start only two weeks later. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joanne for making my transition into civilian life seamless. Gemma is now employed as a Telecommunications Apprentice Trainer in Wiltshire.
Nathan (ex Royal Air Force (RAF) Avionics Technician)
Whilst scrolling through the latest job vacancies on LinkedIn, I found a Field Service Engineer position that caught my eye. I wasn’t too sure if Demob Job could help me, as I left the Armed Forces nine years ago. I initially called up Demob Job ex-military recruitment agency to request further details and I spoke to Joanne Foster. Joanne was fantastic at explaining the vacancy further and the recruitment process. The whole process from start to finish was great, with Joanne supporting me at every stage. I cannot thank Joanne enough for her help and guidance. Thoroughly recommend! Nathan is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in the London area.
Roger (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)
After being made redundant from my previous employer due to being furloughed for over 3 months, I was contacted by Joanne Foster at Demob Job, and was quickly offered the chance of an interview. Within 48 hours of being contacted, I attended an interview and I was offered employment. I was really impressed with the help and information that was available to me. Joanne even followed up after my employment was finalised and made sure I was ready to start my new job the following week. I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone leaving their military career. Roger is now employed as a Service Repair Technician in Warwickshire.
From Royal Navy to CHP Field Engineer: How Demob Job Helped Me Find the Right Fit
“After leaving the Navy I went home to Cornwall to seek employment which ended up being sparse in the engineering world. After a calculated move to Lancashire I was messaged by Joanne to discuss one of my applications for an engineering technician role with an energy company. Joanne kept contact with me throughout the whole four weeks to obtain my details and provide valuable information, motivation and assurance. I am happy to say that after a phone call interview and a formal on-site interview I was offered the position. Joanne has worked tirelessly providing me with the job details, company websites and ensuring I was comfortable with each step of the process.” Chris served in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and is now a CHP Field Engineer in the North West.
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.
Kevin (completed a 25-year career in the Royal Artillery)
Emma, thank you for contacting me regarding a new job opportunity. Your help, support, and guidance throughout the whole process were second to none. You are an asset to Demob Job, and I will be recommending you and your team to friends leaving the Armed Forces. Once again, a big thank you, and I wish you and the Demob Job team every success. Kevin is now employed as a Warehouse Team Leader in the North East.
Karl (ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer Submariner)
‘After 23 years in the armed forces you learn to do a lot of things, unfortunately, none of them is how to be a civvy and look for a job. I began looking for work in the field of engineering and a friend of mine recommended Demob Job, I’m glad that I did. Joanne was very quick to respond to my internet inquiry and keen to give as much information as possible on the job in hand. When accepted for an interview Joanne made sure I was as prepared as possible with notes from other applicants and any information she thought was useful. When she was away, she made sure another member of the team was briefed on my situation so they would be able to help. Throughout the whole process, you could really tell Joanne was working hard on your behalf. I secured employment and began my new career two weeks ago and I’m very grateful to Joanne and the Demob team for their efforts.’ Karl is now employed in the heavy industrial engineering sector.
