Ex-Soldier to Scale Scafell Pike for Charity to Help Get Dream Job
After twenty three years service in one job, most people would be thinking it’s their last job and to start thinking about the enjoyment of retirement.
Not so for a huge number service personnel.
Many ex-forces in their thirties and forties now have to think about a change in career and that is a huge step and can be difficult to think about what exactly they are going to do.
One ex-serviceman knows exactly what he wants to do…the only thing is, he can’t find anyone to employ him despite his impeccable experience and credentials.
Cpl Randall-Eyre left the Army a few weeks ago, after serving 23 years as a recovery mechanic including service in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bosnia & Kosovo.
It’s tough for someone who had served for so long to adjust to civvy street and they all try exceedingly hard. However, prior to his departure from the Army, Cpl Randall-Eyre had decided what career he wanted and took it upon himself to take a course in advanced driving to become an executive chauffeur, but like so many others not getting much response to your efforts it can be disheartening
So, with the lack of response of his attempt to gain new employment, Bear Randall-Eyre has taken a new angle to help get his dream job…to scale Scafell Pike for charity and to wit made this announcement through his twitter feed.
He has taken the decision to do this as he feels he has to exploit all avenues to help him reach his goal. Bear is a huge supporter of charity and has chosen to take on this feat despite carrying a knee injury which has plagued him for the last few years. Completing such a challenge could leave him with further permanent damage.
Not only is Mr Randall-Eyre the height of discretion, security cleared and knows his way around, if you get my drift, he is also an incredibly selfless man, who will put the needs of others first. An example of which, he raised awareness on twitter and in turn, enough funds to buy a mobility scooter for one of his twitter followers last year.
So if you know of anyone in the East Midlands area that may be looking for a chauffeur that is an extremely loyal, reliable, flexible and conscientious individual then Bear Randell-Eyre is your man.
I think that given his determination plus his innovative and selfless way to bag a job, Bear Randell-Eyre deserves an opportunity.
You can check out his credentials or contact him via LinkedIn and you can also follow him on Twitter.
Good luck to Bear and all those leaving service in their new careers.
Finding a job after leaving the Army is the worst bit. I left about five years ago and struggled to find a job for six months and nearly lost my house. All i can say is don’t give up and take what your given till you can pick your feet up and adjust to the life outside of the Army even if it’s not what your used to, it’s a dog eat dog world when you leave and the quicker it’s understood the better. I eventually took up self employment and am now using all the skills i learnt from the forces to great success
More needs to be done in this country to help get ex military soldiers get back to work, they have done so much for us in Afghanistan and Iraq so why not show them our gratitude and help them get back to work.
