ex forces

hi all,

ive spent ALOT of time in the forums watching,reading and so on.
i will be leaving the forces in the next 12 months and planning on doing the 7 week ROV course at fort william. i know the course does not qualify me and i dont have any pervous experiance in hydro/elec on paper however i will be doing a hydrolics course as part of my resettlement.
at the mo i am a Troop Cpl in a formation recce regiment.

Just woundering if there are any other ex forces out there who would be willing to part with some info.
it seems like a good job for the exforces to get in to! always away, starting from the bottom…….

thanks.

If you know it doesn’t qualify you for anything why would you want to do it? I’m quite sure your resettlement will not pay for it all. Ex Forces you must have done courses on electrics/electronic/hydraulic/mechanical. Suggest you speak to the resettlement people to see if any of your Forces courses can be converted to NVQs or any equivalent. You would be be better off completing some NVQs or similar to show electrical or hydraulic knowledge – you could do them distance learning whilst still in the Forces.

Read through the FAQs (link over on the left) and read through the section on How To Lay Out Your CV.

PS best make sure someone does a good spell check on your CV, its very off putting when people spell words wrong and puts across the wrong message about you 😀

I agree with the above……Wont be many Trainees been taken on in 09….

Don’t think anyone fully knows how ROV will be affected yet….Prepare for the worst I say……I was hit when cable went Pete Tong…a lot of that was due to the Enron and Worldcom scandal…bloody blokes in suits playing with other peoples money..always to blame…… 👿
