It would be rather an irony that I would have to reapply for the job I was appointed to only a few months ago.

That happens a lot in the real world though Phil:rolleyes:

But you were employed on a temporary contract I presume to cover the person taking the secondment?

9/10 times the recruitment process is just a formality if you are already doing the job well.

How about thinking positive?

Might be worth a try?

I know and i also know that being in post does not ensure you get your job. I think I am safe for a few months yet though if it does come to the job being advertised.

No it wouldn't.

It would if you'd been appointed permanently and then had to re-apply.

You weren't, therefore it isn't.

3 months start to finish usually - if the successful candidate needs to give a month's notice.

GET THAT CV UPDATED.

I have lots of opportunities now much more than I had before so I am in a strong position.

Hey studentphil, this happens a lot in the NHS ... although I'm not sure what area of employment you're in.

If it is the same as the NHS, if a permanent position becomes available (regardless of whether there's a temporary person in post), the post must be advertised, even if it's only for one working week (minimum time) and there is a preferred candidate - not that anyone would ever admit this. The reasoning behind this (so I'm told by HR) is that there may be someone on the redeployment register of that band with matching skills, who should be offered the opportunity of that post. Recruitment process from start to finish in the NHS is about 3 months, depending on the requirement for disclosure / registration checks.

HTH and good luck x

Well, make sure your CV shows that.

As it is public sector then I am sure it will be not too different from the NHS. I don't really need to worry yet as I have not had any official information yet.
