I would really like to become a customer service assistant for either Network Rail or Arriva Trains Wales. This is because I love trains and have always loved the bustling atmousphere at stations and would love to work in one. I'd have to do a non-safety critical role as I'm colourblind.
However I've pretty much only done care work full time during my 20s and am almost 30 now, although I have done temporary and part time positions working in a bar and and in a supermarket
I'm guessing I need to develop my customer service skills so I was thinking of working in WH smith at a railway station for a year or so because there seems to be lots of jobs working for them. This should mean I'll be confident till operating, dealing with members of the public and will have experience working in a station (albeit in a shop).
What do you think?
I was thinking also of working as a catering steward on a train. Would this be better experience?
Finally my nearest station is Chester but I'm guessing if I'm serious of getting a CSA quickly job I'll probably have to move to a bigger city with bigger stations and more jobs? Thoughts on my whole endeavor?
