<p>Hello there mate. I left the Army in 2009 and came into arb straight from my resettlement course at kingswood training. I have not been out of work since leaving and have walked into 3 companies and got work straight away. If you are serious about the job it is a good crack and as close as you can get to the forces mentality. The work is as hard as you want it to be and the rewards are not the best but I have never been seen short. Dependant on where you are going to be there are enough companies that will gladly have ex forces. If you need any more advice you can always message me back. Hope it goes well for you and good luck</p>

This is my old rifle. It was ok but it could make a mess of rabbits

Well my view was to ask the people who know what they want because i wouldn't have a clue what someone was looking for. Anyone can get the tickets but not everyone can be an employee. Plus my view is "If you don't know ask" there is never a stupid question.

I was in the Army for 16 years and i stumbled into the job when i was looking for a resettlement course to go on when i decided to leave. The forces paid for my tickets and training which was a massive help i can tell you. The time i had in the forces did sorted out my work ethic and showed me alot of things i would never have seen or done if i didn't go in. But i do have to say that i am enjoying this job more than i enjoyed my time within the Army. I started out on this career choice at the ripe old age of 34 and i do have to say that i am fitter now than i was in the forces. Just a short bit to share my experiance to show that you wouldn't be to old to start if you did decide to join the marines and then come to the job after. Plus if you qualify you get the resettlement grants to pay for your training and assessment fees. Hope you do sort out what you want to do and good luck with either choice

Hello there Martin. The pop was about 80ft and it was a lovely day so it was a good climb really. I sent a c.v to gts but i have not heard anything back but thanks for the shout on that one

Rupe. I have never had a job where you have only 1 hat to wear so to speak you always muck in and get the job cracked as a group because then you all can finish on time. John. Thanks for the inside knowledge on what you look for. 2,3 & 4 i have alot of examples from my previous career and a few from the last job i had. No. 1 i'm itching to get back in the harness so to speak and learn as much as i can from everyone so that has number 5 covered to go with my quals. And number 6 i have from my last employer so hopefully it will go ok.

just thought i would say hello as i see u live about 20 mins away form me (ps that pop in ur pic looks a good size) all the best martin

Thanks Rupe. I wouldn't have thought about the driving skills to be honest. The other things that you have said are a help and i will keep them in mind. In my last job the things you said were just natural things to do but not something i would have thought you would have to prompt people to do.

Hello all, I was ust looking for advice on what employers are looking for in an interview. I know this sounds strange but as i have only ever had 2 interviews i really am a novice when it comes to them. Will an employer look at me differently as i'm 35 and i am only a novice in this field with only being in it for about 18 months after doing 16 years in the army. I have found that obviously being truthful and completely open is the only way to go but i was wondering if there was anything else. Thanks Ian
