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.

Greatest achievements

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.

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.
