I recently applied for an AO within the DVLA on a bit of a whim. I've been offered the job but I'm in two minds about whether to accept or not. It sounds a bit like working in a call centre with some 'case work' and 'medical licensing decisions'. This is not something that I'd want to do long term and the reason I considered it was that it might be a good way of building up skills to enable me to progress. Is this likely? Is career progression encouraged?.
I also had an interview for a DFT EO role two weeks ago but as I haven't heard anything yet I'm assuming that I was unsuccessful. I would have loved that job. Would I be better to apply for jobs at this level? I just don't really know what to do and thought someone who works in the CS might be able to advise. Thank you.
