Hi all,
I just wanted some opinions on what I should do in regards to my career...
I currently have a live application with a mainline operator for a 20 hour/week permanent role, I had a video interview in March (during lockdown) where I simply recorded myself answering questions they had gave me. I was then informed in April that the position was on hold, so I've not as of yet received a yes or no.
The issue I have now is that I can't see my finances working out for much longer, and I'm heavily considering going for a bus driving job as the local firm are now recruiting again and I meet all requirements for it. Because of the training I'd receive there, I'd not be able to leave the job for 2 years unless I paid the money back. But a positive would be that its full time...
I've been successful in landing interviews for the three jobs I've applied for at the train operator since I've met the minimum age requirements in the winter, mainly because I was "talent spotted" at one of their programmes last year. I've also had promises of job shadowing after my first unsuccessful interview, so I think they're really trying for me. I'm just concerned that if I went for another job that I would fall "off their radar", and even worse, waste all of the effort we have put in?
A tricky predicament I know, especially with the COVID situation. What can I do?
