Case Study - Anna Jordan
Lieutenant Anna Jordan left her role as a Warfare Officer in the Royal Navy in July 2006 after 13 years of service.
Anna attended a Career Transition Workshop which helped her to find her
current job through the Right Job careers website. Anna now works as a Personal Assistant to HRH The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. Her office runs the day-to-day diary for His Royal Highness the Prince.
Anna said:
"The advice provided by the CTW was invaluable in pulling together a CV which was going to interest a civilian employer. The interview skills were also very useful as were all the handouts so that you could look back at a later date and revisit the information given."
"Another thing that really impressed me was the number of organisations that exist to help service leavers into employment. The Career Transition Workshop really made me realise that there is a tremendous amount of support about and support that lasts well beyond your first job which is invaluable."
"Probably one of the other important skills that the CTP gives you is an understanding of how to sell yourself to a potential employer as it is not something that many service personnel will ever have had to do whilst in the military."
