Oh gawd! Everyone on here is talking about their relevant experience and reasons for wanting to work in local government....seems like I filled in the application form so, so long ago that I can't even remember what I put! I'm pretty nervous about this now. Found out last week I juuuuust missed out in the Civil Service GFS (so frustrating) and so although I know I MUST be a credible candidate I'm now really conscious of all the things I did wrong!
Out of interest, does anyone on here know much about the scheme itself? I mean, this is 100% the kind of thing I want to be doing, but that said, it is my second choice grad scheme. As I was so close for the Civil Service, I'm going to be applying again next year. If by any chance I do get this job, am I contracted to finish out the scheme? I mean there's every chance I'll love it....but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot and feel like I'm stuck in a job that wasn't quite the dream, you know?
I realise this sounds a lot like I think the NGDP is beneath me... :/ This isn't at all the case but getting such a close score for the civ. serv. has put me in a kind of 'well I'll show THEM' mentality about next year!
