Just to let you know, I've been offered a very good salary, it's a substantial pay rise from what I was earning as a Cpl. I remembered your advice about asking for what you feel you're worth…

 

…so I just want to thank you again and when I have friends leaving the forces and they message asking for some advice, I'll be sure to send them your way aswell.

Since I got in touch with yourself way back in November those 3 words have stuck within me ever since. After a long but successful recruitment process i have landed myself an amazing role within an industry that excites me and a role I'm very much looking forward to.

I feel i owe it to you and just want to say a massive thank you for the time you took to develop not just my CV skills but also my personal skills and interview techniques. I feel like without the help from yourself i would still be on CV library putting a pretty bad CV everywhere.

Appreciate everything that you've done for myself but also how much of a help you are to other people transitioning from the Military.

I have just accepted a job offer for Alstom working on the trains and can I just say I'm absolutely over the moon, and I couldn't have done it without your help and guidance. I have felt quite let down by the Army's system, and if it wasn't for you there's no way I would've got the job!

I can't recommend you and the FTG enough.

If I had received your expertise when I went through resettlement I might not have felt the way I did upon leaving.

What you do is essential for anyone leaving the military and I will do my utmost to promote that.

After what seemed like the longest hour of my life, the interview ended, and........

They've offered me a contract! To top my day off even more, I've been called to  interview for a second company after also sending them my CV on a whim.

I just wanted to say that, if it wasn't for your help in getting my CV up to scratch and that interview paperwork you sent me, then I wouldn't have been offered this job or even got my foot in the door with their recruiter in the first place…

Thanks again John!

I must say finding you and your network has been extremely beneficial. I sincerely mean this and not saying it because we are talking one on one. You bring us all together and get us in a room stood in front of employers who have a genuine interest in employing us.
The LinkedIn master class, CV 121 and Job fairs give us the tools to go out to civvy street armed with the knowledge we are employable and valuable to a myriad of companies. You change us from forces to civilian equivalent with the transferable skills we may not know we had.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thankyou for all your time and help with my CV and for allowing me to attend the workshops. I went for my first interview back end of summer and got my first offer. They key for me was to remember that I am good and I can do it, something I have never thought of before prior to speaking to you. I honestly cannot thankyou enough and what you do is invaluable. I am out the Army in 6 weeks when I start my new role and very excited about my next chapter.

Former Army Cyber Security Specialist

I just wanted to let you know I have accepted a job offer to start in the new year!

My stats were 5 Job Applications with 5 CVs Sent; 5 Interviews, 3 Job Offers. Not a bad strike rate and I have no doubt the FTG fundamentals helped to shape my transition period and subsequent success.

Just wanted to let you know I've secured a new role to start in Sep 23. I'll be forever grateful for your support along the way. Your 121 CV masterclass set me up for success at the start of my 12 month plan and the guidance and advice you gave, and in the manner delivered, was exactly what I needed to dispel myths and build my confidence. Keep doing what you're doing! All the best with the future of FTG.
