Congratulations Andy. This is a brilliant group, which has helped so many people. You'll be aware that I often come here seeking candidates and I've successfully recruited several members of the group over the last few years. Candidates who take on board the various tips and advice offered by BLL really do stand out at both sifting and interview stages. Keep up the great work! Best

Andy and I had our first clarity call at the end of June 2022 and I was in a pretty dark place. I was very unhappy at work, and I’d applied for over 150 jobs and barely got an interview. Andy spent time with me to really look at what I’d achieved and helped me focus on what I’d need to do to successfully move on.
Soon afterwards, I got invited to interview for a new role, so Andy and I went through an interview prep session together and signposted me to the Blue Light Leavers podcast, which is full of useful information. I also joined The Academy from Blue Light Leavers which has been really helpful.
This support has resulted in me being offered a fantastic new role, which I start in November. The Academy and the Blue Light Leavers Facebook community is such a positive, supportive network and has really helped me focus, and given me the confidence to apply for roles that otherwise wouldn’t have applied for, as I thought, all I could ever do was be an investigator.

I now work as a Whistleblowing Manager within Compliance in the Financial Sector. Andy from Blue Light Leavers was a fantastic source of advice and encouragement for me and helped me have confidence in my abilities.
Thank you Andy, to both you and your brilliant network!

Thank you from the sidelines
After 13.5 years I resigned from a job I loved. I began a new career this week and the support, positive attitude and strength in diversity is amazing.
This morning my Ops Manager text to wish my daughter well in her GCSE results. I have a job that cares about not only me, but my children too.
Yes these organisations do exist
To say I’m happy is an understatement.
So, to Andy and this group I want to say a huge thank you
The podcasts have been invaluable, listening to other experiences and taking the snippets I need to help me has enabled me to walk away and carve a very beautiful future.
The advice and support has been amazing. Even when just reading posts and feeling inspired by others’ journeys.
The community. Andy you have created an amazing space here. The knowledge and positive attitude is an absolute credit to you.

So tomorrow is my last day. And whilst I’m sad to say goodbye to the people I am not sad to walk out from under the grey cloud and claw back my old self.
Whether the grass is greener or not it can’t possibly be any worse.
I want my mental and physical health back to how it used to be and its time I put my children, partner, family and friends before an organisation that doesn’t care about me.
Reading all the posts in this group helped give me the nudge to just do it and resign and get a role back working in the public sector.
All the best everyone. Genuinely cannot wait to walk out the door tomorrow

Thank you to this group for giving me the confidence to apply for another job this week. I don’t know how it will go, but I'm putting myself out there in a way that I wouldn’t have had the guts to do without reading all the success stories here!
15 years in the cops, half as uniform and half as a DC. Mum of three and exhausted! I still love parts of the job and don’t want to leave, and if I'm not successful I'll stay without question, but this is a leap of faith and I wouldn't have done it without observing the friendliness and support here.. thanks guys!

Realising from the many others involved in the academy & Blue Light Leavers contemplating or having done similar that there was ‘life outside the job’ was a massive confidence boost

I have delayed writing this post until today, as today I started my new job. I retired in Dec 2016 as a Detective with West Midlands Police and since Spring 2017 I have been working as a Seasonal Immigration Officer at Birmingham Airport. This work came to a halt in March 2020 due to the pandemic.
I took the opportunity during lockdown to think about a change of employment. After reading this site I sought advice from Charlotte Eve of CK Futures Ltd and she compiled a CV for me. I did this as I wanted an independent professional to assess my skills and draft them in the correct way, as I have a tendency to undersell myself! Whilst searching for a role I wanted a specific type of employment and I am now working for the Disclosure and Barring Service.
I would like to thank Andy for this site which has been very informative and for signposting me to Charlotte Eve CK Futures. Employment prospects are challenging and it’s worth investing in yourself to achieve what you want.
Thanks again Andy and Charlotte.

Thanks for all the work you're doing with Blue Light Leavers. I listened to your CV podcast a couple of weeks ago and really took away a lot from that which allowed me to completely rewrite my CV. Today I handed in my resignation after 12 years' service. I leave to take up a team managers role for a new government project. I have been so inspired by the stories and comments from others and all the resources you have on offer. Thanks again!
