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.

Top Insider Advice
I mean this in two different ways, the first is your mindset and the way you talk to yourself. If you wake up everyday with belief you can do anything, you absolutely can. The way you think is the strongest motivation you can give yourself. If a task is hard and you are struggling tell yourself you can and you will. Secondly is your physical strength, the British Army does have a fitness standard we expect candidates to achieve however they are not impossible for anyone. Again, put your mind to it and you can achieve it!
