Candidate Testimonials
Andrew (ex Aviation Engineer in the Royal Air Force)
“I contacted Demob Job after seeing a job advert on LinkedIn. Joanne Foster was extremely responsive and arranged a telephone call to discuss the job and check my suitability for the role, an important step in preventing both me and the employer from wasting time. Joanne spent time compiling an accurate and suitable application with me and presented it to the employer on my behalf. 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 RAF Aircraft Fitter to Maintenance Technician: How Demob Job Found My Perfect Role
“I have done what I believe most service leavers do and saved my leave to have a few months off at the end of their career. I’d been at home making the most of the summer with my wife and kids but with the end of the summer holidays in sight I started to upload my cv to various websites. Almost immediately I was bombarded with calls from pushy recruiters telling me I’d be “perfect” for whatever job they had and would I like to apply but never hearing from them again, after a few weeks I was getting fed up with this. Then Kelly Chandler from Demob Job gave me a call. We had an actual conversation about what sort of employment and employer I was looking for, discussed the skills I had developed in the RAF and we ended the call with assurance she would find something suitable for me. I got a call back from Kelly a few days later about a position available in a company that met my specification. My CV was sent off, I went for an interview and got the job! Kelly was there to support and guide me through the whole process and I’m looking forward to starting my job on Monday. I can’t recommend Demob Job highly enough!” Gary completed a full career in the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Fitter and is now employed as a Maintenance Technician in Merseyside.
Joe (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
Having seen a job advertised on DemobJob.co.uk, I registered my CV online and applied. Joanne contacted me straight away to confirm my application, she then introduced me to the company and successfully got me a telephone interview, which went really well. I then had a face to face interview with the company and was subsequently offered the job. Joanne and her team did a remarkable job which I cannot thank them enough they are genuinely there to help and without their guidance and knowledge I wouldn't have been so successful.

REME Vehicle Technician secure new career as Engineering Surveyor
"I first contacted Demob Job after seeing their Instagram page and was immediately impressed with their professionalism and positive attitude towards finding me employment. It was clear from the outset that they had a lot of connections in the Engineering industry and were keen to get to know me. They reassured me about the process which in turn took a lot of pressure off me while I was conducting my resettlement phase. Having then spoken with Kelly Chandler, she quickly gained an in-depth understanding of what skills and experience I had and began to match me with potential employers the next day. When a job was identified as a good fit for me, Kelly explained the job specifications to me clearly to make sure I understood everything. Exactly one week after first contacting Demob Job, I had an interview, and a job offer which I accepted. Kelly and the team were fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend them enough. I am now an Engineering Surveyor with a great company in South Yorkshire”.
Stephen (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)
‘Jack was a fantastic support going through the application process for the job. I had applied for another position through Demob Job but Jack identified a further role that he believed was a better fit. When it came to interview time his support increased dramatically, always keeping in touch with the employer and myself continuously updating us on the next stage. After the interview Jack’s hard work continued by communicating with both parties making sure each was happy. Jack put in maximum effort during the entire process, and after I had been successful his follow-up care was second to none. Not only a total professional but an absolute top guy’. Steve now works as a Maintenance Engineer in Scotland.
