What do you like about your job and the company?
My day to day job requires me to contact candidates within my local community and recruitment isn't just promoting what the army has to offer, but what the army can offer to the community too. My motivation is being able to assist those through the process to ensure they take full advantage of the opportunities available to them.
Greatest achievements
Before the army I worked in easy going jobs. I wanted more, but it seemed like such a monumental task. Just having the courage to take the first steps to the careers centre and asking about the process was big in itself. I would not have had the life I do now without the armed forces or the amazing experiences I have had! From war games in Canada to chilling in saunas in Norway. I have had the opportunity to travel in ways I never would have been able to without the army.

I honestly believe it's worth at least trying life in the Army. If you don't like it, you can leave with a story to tell, and you'll have gained some life skills. If you do like it, you'll have a rewarding career that you can be proud of, you'll grow in confidence, find mates for life, and see the world. The army application process is quite unique and it’s an experience in itself. Even if you're unsuccessful you'll have that story to tell and you'll definitely have learned something about yourself. Also, most times, just because you've been unsuccessful doesn't mean you can't try again.

Once you join the army there will be no other experience like this to compare it to. The training is challenging and it is deliberately designed like that to challenge you. It is definitely possible to complete. You will have the best experience that last a life time.The people you meet in this job becomes your new family members.

In my experience the Army isn't looking for one type of stereotyped Officer or Soldier. In fact it is the diversity of our organisation that makes us so effective.
