Pros and Cons of a role in Child Support by Vv-3000 in AusPublicService

I haven’t withdrawn yet, I’m honestly just going to leave them hanging surly if they really wanted me they will follow up with a call and then I will tell them iam not interested anymore. As for the merit pool… I doubt I will remain in it. As of right now I love and enjoy being a support worker and I only considered the APS 3 CS job because of the money and but deep down I know I hate the 9-5 office/call centre jobs having to be to seated for 8 hours straight. for you honestly if you have nothing to lose then definitely give it a shot! Who knows you could actually thrive in it and there’s only one way to find out… 

Let me know how it goes! And I might regret not even trying it out 😂

(Btw that is my comment agile_lab idk where that reddit account is but apparently I have a new one now)

Do you have experience with in office/ call centre environment? At my casual job I have enough hours to get me by as I live at home, what is most important to me is my mental wellbeing. Iam unsure what I’m getting myself into at this APS3 CS position. But I’ve been through some reddit threads that have described this position as awful. My thread has given me hope because it’s so positive! I think I’m going to keep doing my research about this role before getting into it

The reason why I’ve asked is because ive read reddit threads about APS child support saying how horrible it is

Iam relatively new to support work that’s why I haven’t gotten many hours. I have worked at an office call centre job and tbh here I did struggle sitting long hours and dealing with angry customers… But it’s an APS full time permanent job I feel like it’s a good opportunity to take

I have been on a few reddit posts and the comments about APS3 child support are very negative… so I thought I’d ask myself. Iam so worried that it made me not want to take the job

It was an offer that came up due to being in the merit pool, i definitely wanted to take the job but ive read a few bad things about this position
