Now this may sound very bigoted towards ex forces so please do not take any of this with any malice intended in the very least.
I recently spoken to afew contacts within the industry today and found that alot of the applicants are ex forces. I was at college while studying my HNC and HND and encountered many RAF workers. Don’t get the wrong end of the stick, they were great guys and applied themselves in a great manor. There is alot of negativity within my small minded hometowns towards the workers at the RAF base of which I’m not part of and still keep in contact with a couple of them. Anyway, all this aside. If my technical ability and qualifications (HND & Modern apprenticeship) are the same as there’s. The only difference would be that I am roughly half there age then how is it that they are more suited to this job than me? (and others like me?).
Like I said this isn’t me "having a go" it’s just a general question.
As always all feedback is greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
