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.

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.

The army is more than what is seen in dramatised film and television. It’s a group of had working individuals who have learnt to be a part of the army, learnt their strengths and weakness, learnt what kind of job and job role suits them best. There is so much opportunity it is impossible to write it all here but information about the army has never been so easily accessible. The wealth of insight that can be gleaned, to help you determine the right career path in the army, is massive and can help you decide. Even if that decision is not to join the army, you won’t know until you have a look.
