Hello, wondering if there are any HR People out there with advice on how to approach this in the best way please.
I have seen a position that I would love to apply for, however as it is a role in education (administrative) references would be taken up for anyone prior to being interviewed. Delving further, it also means current role. I understand this completely from a safety point of view, working with children.
I am in a role and as I work for the SLT, and sit right by them, AND am going through the process of buying a house, I can’t scupper my current job by telling them I’m looking elsewhere. The role itself is so much more me and I meet their criteria skills wise.
What do I do? I can’t lie, it would be pretty unsustainable if I got the job! I thought about phoning them but they aren’t going to waver their policy are they? Does it mean only people that are able to be open may apply? AIBU to think this is unfair to seriously interested people in other roles?
Thanks
