I thought if your security clearance was pretty straight forward it might be a bit quicker...Do you get offered a place straight away or does that take another few weeks.. sorry for all the questions just trying to get an idea of how long I could be waiting. Thanks again

Samuel T. Cogley wrote: » Ask away - Happy to help. Once clearance is done, which can be a bit quicker in straight forward cases, but it would still be weeks, you will get a call, but again it just depends how keen the HEO/AP/Super etc. is to get people in the door. It might be a week or two before they get in touch. After a week or so I'd be back on to PAS. Christmas can be a bit contentious as the office usually needs to be staffed for most of it (Xmas day and Stephens Days usually aren't staffed). There will may be a local arrangement though where most staff are WFH for most of it and only one or two come in each day to do what needs to be done in the office.

Do you think once your trained you would have the option to work from home or would AGS expect you in the office everyday. I'm dying to find out more and the wait is killing me haha
Samuel T. Cogley wrote: » Once your trained, which takes a while as its 'on the job' you'll be allowed to WFH in most offices at least some of the time. There are certain hoops that have to be jumped through, especially if you need a laptop. You might be able to take holiday, you might not. It will all depend who got there first and you'll be starting later in the leave year so I wouldn't bank on it in the first year. That said maybe you'll have some people happy to work Xmas and others take holiday. I'm afraid the answer like so many is it depends.
