GO Gingernutty!

I have a feeling that it's all turning a corner for you now.

Hmmm, maybe.

I still haven't been formally offered the job in writing, but my current line manager has already sent off the reference she's been asked for.

I get it; they're gathering references before the formal offer, but it's all fallen at this particular hurdle before - I'm still looking and applying for jobs just in case.

I've been offered a position and am going through the process of accepting it - DBS application, reference collection and OH assessment, you know the routine.

It's a part time position. I still haven't been given a formal start date.

Here's the dilemma.

The same hospital trust is advertising a full time job. And it's as if it''s been made for me.

It's a weirdly specialised position handling radioactive isotopes in clean rooms - something I used to do.

Do I apply for the full time position?

Would I jeopardise the current job offer even if I don't get an interview?

WWYD?

WWID? I'd phone HR and ask if applying for a f/t position while awaiting start date for p/t position would be OK. None of what they're waiting for atm would be 'wasted' if you got the f/t position, would it? You could also get an update on progress for the p/t position while you're at it ... that would probably be my first question!

The DBS is through and scanned to them, first to a guy who failed to acknowledge the email and promptly went on annual leave and secondly to the HR lady I called yesterday asking about a start date.

When she stated that all they were looking for was the DBS, I emailed it to her and I should receive a call next week to discuss a start date.

The OH assessment went okay. Once the start date is formal, they'll jab me for Hep B, measles and Mantoux me for TB.

Needles! :eek:

Geesh what a carry on. Take care with it all .

And what did they say about applying for the f/t job?

I'd definitely have applied for the full time job.

I left it. It's gone now. It's a big enough palaver getting my hands on this one....:o

Good luck Gingernutty x

After an email this afternoon, asking about a start date, I received a call on my mobile (in Boots, while I was wrestling with a faulty Points machine).

I start the day after the Bank Holiday.

Of course, it was too late at that point to call OH. That'll be first thing on Monday now.

I got a start date. Finally. :j
