Facebook Post (Podcast 42)

It works!! This morning I had confirmation of a job offer. I've secured myself a role with a major power company as an analyst. Although nervous as hell in the interview, I stuck to the script. So, despite being booted after a 23 year career, there is still life in the old dog! Just do not give up. Believe in yourself. Know your potential. Network. Reach out. Ask questions. Believe in the power of 42.

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.

LinkedIn-style Long Testimonial

I thought I'd give an update on how life is 6 months after leaving with the help from this group. After speaking with Andy and getting onto LinkedIn and writing my CV I found a role in loss prevention in a large multi national. This was my first application and I had a couple of interviews before landing the job. The onboarding was fantastic, everything was ready for me on my first day. Since then I’ve got to know the business and role at my own pace. My manager is ex job also and has been really supportive. The difference between public and private sector couldn’t be bigger. I feel respected, appreciated and valued. I've less stress, am better off financially and enjoy my time off not having to think of work. If you're thinking of making the jump I’d say do it. I had almost 19 years in but the changes to the pension made this an easy decision in the end. Seeing the constant vilification of police by the media and knowing the stresses and strain that you all are going through does not make me miss the job one bit. The world is a big place and our skills are sought after, do your research, the jobs are there.

Evening everyone, I just wanted to thank Andy Labrum, Ian Grant, Andy Whelan, Teri Kelsey and Alicia Herbert for the help they offered me following my post last week regarding being interviewed for a public service lecturer role. Following their guidance and that of the brilliant podcast #42 I was offered the job. It’s a small team and the college are looking to expand the course. I will be getting funded for my teacher training and they were really keen to use my police experience. The micro teach and interview with the head of department and the principal went well and got a really good feeling. The two others I am working with have already contacted me and I am meeting them next week. Thanks for all the help I really do appreciate it and I have passed on my thanks to those that helped me and given up their time.

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!

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.

So after almost 5 years in the Met Police, I’m really happy to say that I am now two weeks for leaving and I have a new job with Lego in the UK at their head office. I really wanna thank Andy from the group for a call and chat I had with him which made me really weigh up if this was the right world for me, and I cannot wait to start my new role in September. It took nearly two years of searching for jobs and roles and applying constantly. I never got any interviews anywhere but I managed to get an interview and “smashed” it according to them. So absolutely buzzing. Keep going everyone if you're still trying ... as I said took 2 years for me but got there in the end.
