Candidate Testimonials
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
Jack (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)
“Demob Job, have been amazing in helping me secure my new career. As a service leaver, having served many years in the Royal Air Force, joining the civilian world was daunting. But finding Demob Job was exactly what I needed, they understood my position and made everything as pain-free as possible. I was introduced to the employer and an interview was arranged within 24 hours. Throughout the process, Demob Job kept in touch and helped me prepare for the interview, giving me some great advice. I was offered the job, and again, Adrian called congratulating me giving me all the information on the next steps, staying in touch right up to my first day in my new job. I would give Demob Job 10 out of 10”. Jack is now an Engineer Surveyor in Essex.
Jake (served in the Royal Navy as a Leading Hand Weapons Engineer)
“I was searching for a new role and was contacted by Kelly Chandler at Demob Job after I applied for a job advertised. She was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and made me feel reassured by something relatively new to me. After I had accepted the role, we kept in touch as she continually checked up to see how things were progressing with the company. Kelly’s support in securing a new job made the whole situation a lot easier”. Jake is now an Assistant Project Manager in Hampshire.
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
Aaron (ex British Army Electronics Technician)
Joanne was there for me during the most difficult and concerning time of my career, the period in which I was leaving the military after 10 years not having any civilian contacts or experience. She made me feel calm and confident in securing a new career path even during the pandemic. I would highly recommend any ex-military or jobseeker to have Joanne caring for their needs. She was professional and kind during the whole process and considered all my needs throughout. Amazing support. Aaron is now an Engineering Technician in Lancashire.
Raymond (ex-Royal Navy Aircraft Technician)
I found Joanne and Demob Job very helpful and friendly. It felt as if Joanne was actively helping me secure a job whereas with some agencies I feel as if they are not too bothered either way. Demob Job seem like a very organised agency and Joanne kept me informed right the way throughout the process. Thanks once again and I appreciate all your help! Mechanical Shift Maintenance Engineer, Lancashire
Daniel (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)
Demob Job has been fantastic in helping me find a job in my final months of employment with the Royal Air Force. Joanne Foster was excellent from my application to confirming my new role as a Commissioning Engineer. Joanne helped me to prepare for my interview, gave me tips and advice along with a comprehensive brief on the company. Ultimately Joanne kept in regular contact to ensure my transition was as smooth as possible. I would recommend Joanne and Demob Job for anyone who is due to leave the military and is seeking new employment. Daniel is now a Commissioning Engineer based in West Midlands.
