I placed 13 on panel after interview in March (no mention of batches) but no word yet. I’m dying to get offered something and the waiting game is torture!

Almost all the offices on flexi will have some local arrangement to cover the office until at least 5. The other thing that can happen is a change of Chief or Super with their own ideas on what needs to be covered.

I recently got a job as a clerical officer and I am delighted but when I told my employer I was leaving I was offered more money my take home pay is 600 the job is stressful 9-5 retail which I never intended on staying long 12 years later I'm still here I cycle to work in 10 mins. I really want to try my hand in the public sector but would I be mad to consider this paycut and the Clerical officer job would mean a 45min commute need an answer by Monday my head is melted

I would take the pay cut and take the Co position and in a couple of years you will have the same money your on now.. The flexi time but help with the commute ðŸ˜
