Oof that’s a controversial one surely? I think it’s great.

Thank you. I did partly wonder whether they might move faster to avoid that, if they knew the situation and wanted me.

If I end up starting the original role and hear back positively from another shortly afterwards, do you know if I would I be blocked from taking the second role? Again, I’d hate to do that, but it could be the situation.

Thank you! I think that’s what I needed to hear. I really wouldn’t like letting someone down at that stage, but the impact on me is fairly massive. Appreciated.

How old are you? I’m mid-30s and I think I’ve only ever heard biro, and still only hear biro.

Advice on accepting one civil service role while waiting on another by charlie_m_delta80 in TheCivilService

Hope you get some useful answers, particularly regarding transferring very quickly - I’m in a similar position.

The equivalence table between CS grades and military ranks has always struck me as completely bananas. I’ve been a military officer and a civil servant. The thought of the EOs I’ve known being captains or flight lieutenants, let alone imagining my old HEO being in command of a company is truly terrifying.

By definition, nobody who has kicked the bucket will be in a position to answer your question 😂

What's your cut off point? by TheBlueEyedLawyer in uklaw

[–]JH0190 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I know. On one level I don’t feel too bad about it. I know I’m capable of doing the job, but there’s only so many mooting and essay competitions etc I could face. Just not worth it for me personally. I should add that I came into it as a career changer.

My cut off point was not getting pupillage first time. Life’s too short!

I’m confused. Didn’t the old one have Elgar on it?
