No, it's not my preferred location. In fact its one of the one's I did not even tick on the location form. its not city centre. From my house, I'll need to take a bus, then train then another bus to get there They emailed me asking to call them which is what I did.

What a nightmare - I'm really sorry.

Being honest - I think that journey, on a daily basis, would be detrimental to your health and work - and imagine if your bus was late and you missed the train!

Good Luck

Hello,

could I ask what you mean by the best role?

thanks

Sorry bad choice of words, I ment the role which I would of preffered, as band c covers the personal advisors, floor managers, finance manger, the signing team leaders and telephone team leaders. So we can be placed into any of those.

Yes, I have been offered a location and tentative start date of 6th June but I have a massive dilemma. I need to really consider my options as using public transport to get to this area will take me about 1.5 hrs one way (2 hrs on the bus) and I am told once I accept this, they will remove me from the reserve list for the other area. But if I don't take this and they never offer from the other area, I will not have a job It's such a difficult situation.

Can I ask when you called, and how long you are/were given to accept this offer?

Also, are you an external applicant? In current employment?

(Just trying to get a feel for start dates from offer dates - if that makes sense!)

Sorry to pry

Did not know it can be any role Within band c, mmm I like finance or personal advisor.I guess, Floor managers had to keep standing for 7 hours, think it was rotatory role.

It can be but I wouldn't worry too much as they have said the majority will be PA's although I know 3 people so far that have been offered TL roles. Just the pick of the draw I guess.
