I think its really important in life to put yourself forward for opportunities for personal development and to help you identify what you enjoy doing. It doesn't matter if you try something and it doesn't work out, the most important thing is that you have tried it. My favourite quote is 'Never try, never know'.

What do you like about your job and the company?
The marketing team work together to get real life stories out there, either on our website or through social media, so candidates can get a real feel for what being a soldier or officer is like. We also arrange many events which allow potential candidates to meet serving soldiers (virtually or F2F) and ask any question they have about a career in the Army. Its really rewarding to be in a position where we can provide everyone with the advice and tools they need to make an informed decision.

Since starting with Recruiting Group I have applied for two secondments in areas I had no previous experience working in. I was successful in getting both roles, proving that with the right attitude you can venture into an area of unknown, armed with the desire to learn and grow.

Throughout selection and training things will not always go your way, it is designed to be tough and challenge you to give you the tools and know how to succeed in the challenging job as a soldier. It is vitally important that when you have a tough day you have the drive and determination to get up go again and get better. Anyone can do this as long as you give yourself the right mindset.

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.
