This is the third time I’ve been a reserve candidate and it doesn’t get any easier. There is many reserves this time round though as we will all be in different locations. I guess our only hope now is something becomes available locally. Can’t see it happening soon though as this mass intake will have cleaned up most roles due to become available I guess!
When I saw the Future Opportunities roles open, and with having a few applications in around the same area-ish, I kinda thought two things (stupidly)..firstly that I had already applied for the areas near enough to work at, and secondly that it sounded like a talent pool. It seems from reading all the recent posts on here of late that I was totally wrong one the second one as it seems these have almost been the only jobs they have continued to progress with and that it would have been no harm for me to apply anyway. So a lesson learned on my part, rather irritating but hey, hindsight... I’m just hoping that the jobs that I have applied for are not back filled from this Future Opportunities campaign and my statuses all change to unsuccessful!
