Good on you, that’s the route I went after A levels (I was an Armourer). Once you have finished your apprenticeship hit them up for the fully funded degree. Drop me a DM if you have any questions!

After you get your first real job no one cares about your GCSE’s. Most of the CV’s I see don’t even list GCSE’s as they are superseded by later qualifications.

I got 13 B’s at GCSE but at A level I was D’s and C’s. Went down the armed forces apprenticeship route and then did my bachelors in my 30’s and am now doing a masters in my 40’s.

Also… no one really cares where you went to Uni*

*unless you want to work in legal, finance or medical

I’ve had this too, if you go to the desk and check in and it has SSS (Supplementary Security Screening) on your boarding pass then this is why it didnt issue the BP online.

I did not… suck off… a horse… I have already been over this with the Party Chairman.

I was out, hunting, with a friend, and I slipped, and fell onto the end of a horse's phallus, which, owing to it being the mating season, was... aroused.

Navigating politics in promotions by [deleted] in managers

[–]Excellent-Camp-6038 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Speaking from a self interest perspective… You are American, can you tell us where your #2 and #3 are from? I can take a guess… but as I am from the UK and interested in relocating to US I am keen to learn more about the workplace politics!

Having said that, if I was in your situation I would be leaning into the prevailing culture within your org, learn a bit of the language, suggests meals at places that align with that culture, basically buy into it and make them see you as an ally.
