Leaving the Royal Navy After 22 Years: How Demob Job Helped Me Find the Right Civilian Role
"Initially seeing a job advertised on Demob Job, I applied using the easy tool. Attach CV, write a short cover letter, and send. My hiring person, Kelly Chandler, was in contact with me as soon as I thought possible. Explaining everything that is and is yet to come during application, interviews and just general questions. Very easy to get know and talk to, genuine person, very approachable and understanding. After the first interview, I was kept in touch with for any details in a very timely manner, just enough to know exactly where my application was at, at whatever stage. Nothing was any bother to ask and was quick to alleviate any concerns I had. A great experience that has really helped with the daunting process of leaving the armed forces after over 22 years. Fantastic service, thank you Kelly". Andrew served in the Royal Navy as a Weapons & Sensors Engineer and is now employed as a Service Engineer in the medical sector.
From Royal Signals to Contract Manager: How Demob Job Helped Me Break the Cycle of Rejections
“Exceptional support throughout my job application from a truly dedicated professional recruiter. After 3 months of job hunting, and over 300 unsuccessful job applications, I was approached by Joanne Foster from Demob Job. She had found a job that aligned with my experience and previous military career perfectly. From the very first conversation, Joanne took the time to understand not just my CV, but what I was actually looking for. She worked tirelessly on my behalf, keeping me updated, preparing me for interviews and ensuring I had the best possible chance of success. Her professionalism, dedication and personal approach made the whole process smooth and stress free. Thanks to Joanne’s support, I have secured a position that suits me exceptionally well and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would recommend Joanne and Demob Job without hesitation to anyone seeking a supportive, knowledgeable and committed recruitment partner. Again, thank you for your support Joanne, I am truly grateful.” Lee served in the Royal Corps of Signals and is now employed as a Contract Manager.
