"Kelly, you have been a great help from the beginning securing me an interview on such short notice and keeping me up to date with everything right to the very end.

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.

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
Paul (Ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
“Leaving the Armed Forces is a huge step for any service person looking to transition into civilian life, personally for me it was extra daunting as I joined the Royal Navy straight from school and stayed to complete a 24-year career. Job hunting proved difficult with many employers not taking the time to reply to my applications. I then applied for a position I found on the CTP website, immediately Joanne Foster was in touch to explain the role and requirements in more depth, within minutes I had experienced the personal and professional service Demob Job offer. Joanne helped me every step of the way offering advice, feedback, and an understanding I do not think would be found at any other recruitment company. I would urge anyone leaving the Armed Forces to use the experience and professionalism Demob Job have at their disposal. Thanks to Joanne I have secured a job with a prestigious North East company.” Paul is now employed as a Senior Marine Engineering Manager in Tyne and Wear.
Daniel (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
After being tagged in the job advertisement by a colleague, Emma was very quick to get in touch with me and have a thorough conversation about my background, skills and whether or not I was an appropriate candidate for the job. Emma kept me up to date throughout the process with friendly and informative conversations including preparations for the interview and eventually explaining that my application was successful. In a time that could become very stressful as my TX date was looming, Emma and the whole Demob Job team remained very calm and helpful. I couldn't recommend them enough, thanks for all the help. Project Engineer (Mechanical), Northumberland
