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
One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give somebody who has an interest in joining the military is to simply be yourself. One of key values of the military is integrity, so as long as you're honest with yourself and being true to who you are, you can't go too wrong. Those who try to be somebody they're not always get found out, and false appearances can only be kept up for so long. I would also say work hard. If you continue to push yourself and push what you think are your limitations, you'll find yourself pleasantly surprised. Those who work hard in the military are very often rewarded and go on to have the more fulfilling, exciting career with an abundance of opportunities. Those who shy away from work or are lazy will again get found out very quickly and have less opportunities available.
