Candidate Testimonials

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.

Julian (ex British Army – Household Cavalry Regiment)

After applying for a position through the Demob Job website I was contacted by Emma who was very helpful in helping me adjust my CV to reflect the vacancy.  Emma organised everything, including the interview which I attended and was offered the job.  I would like to personally thank the team at Demob Job and particularly Emma for her friendly professionalism and assistance.  Now an Estates Manager in West London

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

Andrew (ex Royal Air Force – Mechanical Aircraft Technician)

Thanks for all the help and support I’ve received from Joanne at Demob Job with this transition to a new career of Field Service Technician. You’ve provided great knowledge about the company, role and some very useful tips for both interview stages pointing out transferable skills that can be taken from a military background. Thanks again I wouldn’t have been successful without your help.  Now a Mechanical Field Service Technician covering Liverpool and Manchester

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.

Stuart (Completed a full career in the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a Chef)

Demob Job was a fantastic agency to use. Very knowledgeable and professional and highly recommended for anyone leaving the services looking for a career in engineering.  Stuart is now employed as a White Goods Engineer covering the Hampshire area.

Clint (ex Royal Air Force Chef)

After recently completing my diploma in plumbing and heating, I had spent many months trying to find the right job opportunity. I had spent 20 years in catering within the RAF and offshore oil and gas, and have been seeking a career change, when Adrian from Demob Job contacted me about an opportunity with a respectable company which included great training and career prospects.  Adrian was excellent in explaining the job role to me, identifying all my transferable skills that would make me a good fit for the role, and after putting me forward, managed to secure an interview for me.  I am sure that had I applied direct to the company I would not have heard back.  After completing the interview, and a small skills test, I managed to secure the role and am awaiting to start the training course.  Cannot recommend Adrian and Demob Job enough. Highly professional in every stage of the process.
