Extremely informative tips on Interview do's and dont's. This webinar came right on time as I had an interview the very next day. I particularly liked the video shared on the online interview - it gave me some great ideas that I of course utilized in my online interview. Guess what! I've gotten positive words from the interviewer - like 'you're few steps away from joining our Team'! Thanks again - It's really appreciated!

Apologies just realised I need to state a bit more than just some stars. I attended a webinar that was presented by Adrian. The webinar was related to a process when planning to leave the MOD; got a few years left but need to start planning the next step. Absolutely spot on, kept on time and concise! Adrian's idiot guide is simple and easy to follow. It was way better than what the army offer based on sitting in with one of juniors when he received a resettlement brief.
After this webinar I felt confident in how to approach the next step of my career but I realised I need to start now. Adrian, thank you for investing your time on us by supplying your wealth of knowledge! Hopefully we can get more webinars from you as it brings a wealth of knowledge into our community!

I went through Demob Job to get my first job after leaving the military. I dealt with Joanne and she was absolutely brilliant. She was extremely professional in everything she did as well as very helpful. She kept my aware of what was going on during the whole process and made the transition into my first civilian job very easy. A highly professional organization that I would have no issues using again or recommending to anyone else.
