Ian: I expected that finding work would be challenging, however I was surprised at just how hard it was to go from making an initial job application, to actually receiving a job offer.

In early 2018, I was fortunate enough to meet Karyn Hinder from Working Spirit. Making this connection has been the greatest asset that I have had access to, whilst looking for support to find work outside of the Defence force.

Working Spirit has been able to connect me to employers that were actively looking for military veterans, these opportunities have culminated in several job opportunities, creating real career pathways that utilize the skill and qualifications that I have accumulated over my military career.

I am incredibly grateful to Working Spirit for the support and would fully recommend any transitioning service member reaching out for their assistance.
