I’m looking to go into some government work. I’ve applied for a few jobs in the NHS, in the police and in prison service. I have some transferable skills from working in hospitality both front of house, working behind the bar and serving food etc to working on potwash, cleaning plates etc to cooking the food. I’ve even applied for some apprenticeships. I can’t seem to even get an interview with showing these skills and showing genuine interest in working in those jobs. What should I do?

Try signing on with NHS Professionals they are the agency for temp work. I started there, was never out of work. I eventually got a permanent job and only left due to a life changing injury.
I would check the civil service, HMRC, justice and civilian jobs within the military

Hi, I’m looking to switch into marketing (entry level), as consulting is not aligned with my skill set/passions. Does anyone know of any ad agencies in LA that have good work-life balance, good pay, PTO, great culture, promotions, training? Your help means more than you know!!! Looking to do informational interviews and try to network my way in, as I feel the barrier to entry was much harder than anticipated. Anything helps, thank you so much!

This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

I’m having a hard time understanding the salary /TC ranges for mid- to senior-level strategy positions in the Denver area (10-15 YOE).

Which companies would you look at for more substantial comp outside consulting?
