Just moved job- now dream job has come been advertised

I recently started a new job- fairly similar to my old job but a step up and more money. I've not been wowed by it so far but early days.

Annoyingly, my dream job has just been advertised. Is there any point in applying given that I've only been in my current role for a few weeks? I am very well qualified for the dream job and don't have a history of moving a lot- I've been in most roles for 5-6 years, with my shortest role being 2.5 years.

Is it internal or external? If external then I would definitely apply, they can only say no!

I wouldnt apply internally though, it wouldnt look good.

Thanks- it's external

Why would you not apply?

Apply.

JamesClyman · 26/01/2026 12:25

If it really is a "dream job", why wouldn't you apply?

CuriousKangaroo · 26/01/2026 12:27

Genuinely not sure what is giving you pause for thought. Just apply! If you worry they will think you are flakey, point to your CV and explain it’s your dream job!

JolenesBestPal · 26/01/2026 12:28

100% apply!!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 26/01/2026 13:19
