I have an opportunity to change career and like many I really want to be a qualified train driver! It looks like it's a really hard role to break into with a lot of competition, and talent pools that people seem to just sit in, and with no previous railway experience I wondered if I would be doing the right thing applying for any roles just to get ahead of external applicants?
I've got years of sales experience so would suit the on board hosting jobs (and one is being advertised now nearby) but it's not what I want in the long term. Do most drivers come from working up internally, or should I just wait and apply for the role I really want?
