After a 16 year career as a police officer I realised that it was no longer for me. I followed Blue Light Leavers on Facebook, reading how people had managed to ‘make the break’ and it gave me the belief that I might be able to do it too. I finally reached out to Andy who helped me prepare for my first interview and I can honestly say I used the tips that he provided and I was over the moon to be offered the job. Thank you Andy for taking the time to help and guide me through what was a life changing interview’.

I’m on my way back from an interview I’ve just had out the force and I am buzzing!!! I honestly believe my confidence has come from everyone’s positive stories on this group.
I posted several months back about not having any joy in the market, kept getting rejected so I went away and started applying for jobs with competency based application forms. This has resulted in this interview today and I’ve left feeling super proud of myself.
I listened to podcast 42 and they were super impressed by my reflecting back and talking about lessons learnt! Even if I'm unsuccessful (the idea of possibly accepting something is terrifying in its own right) I just want to thank everyone.
A year ago I believed I was institutionalised and had nothing to offer but finding this group and constant affirmations of transferable skills has enabled me to believe as a police officer you are capable of so much more.
I won’t find out until next week but right now I’m just feeling incredibly proud of what I’ve achieved and the confidence I displayed in interview! Everyone else keep going – you’ve got this!!

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!

Andy’s support and coaching this year has been unparalleled. As a Blue Light Leaver, and during a particularly challenging time in my life, Andy has gone the extra mile to provide me with guidance and encouragement. He is genuinely the most compassionate, sincere, and industrious individual you could ever encounter. I’m deeply appreciative of all that Andy has accomplished for me, and I consider myself privileged to now call him a friend.

I started listening to Andy’s podcasts to find ideas on how to leave the police, and instill confidence about ‘life on the outside’. Having now successfully transitioned out of the police, I eagerly look forward to each new upload because I still learn something new from each episode which helps us all recognise how valuable our skills and experience are, which aren’t always recognised within ‘the job!’

I was genuinely overwhelmed when I received that phone call to say I’d got the job and the feedback was amazing. Such a confidence boost! Andy’s advice and support does not end once you get the job offer! Never underestimate your worth!

On Sunday 12th March I retired after 32 years service with West Midlands Police. Today I started a new position as Loss Prevention Analyst with GXO Logistics.
I just wanted to thank Andy Labrum and this group for the massive support in obtaining a new role. The advice personally given by Andy, the podcasts and people who I have contacted through this group who have genuinely wanted to help and support.
I can only recommend that anybody changing career or finishing their police career listen to the words of advice, don’t be afraid to contact people, ask for help. Even though some of us are no longer service we are still a family.
Thank you BLL and especially Andy.

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.

As someone who left the police and was beaten down with little-to-no confidence and having been rejected for even simple roles, I was at my lowest point.
Andy and The Academy sessions have really helped with my CV, my self-confidence and much more, and I’ve now secured a new job I never thought I would have.
The sessions are invaluable, and you can rewatch them at any time, and they give you the chance to interact with the guests and ask questions suitable to your own circumstances.
I cannot rate The Academy sessions and Andy himself highly enough, for the support throughout, and the confidence the sessions have given me to be myself again and I’ll be eternally grateful for his help and support throughout.
Thank you!
