July Jobs List

[MacPherson]

Is anyone in, or know of, an interesting SO3 job that is likely to appear in the July jobs list for a start in early 06? Germany and Canada both appeal, and I want to plan the escape from my current job leaving no chance of being scuppered.

Cheers.

Speak to your desk officer at the APC is the best bet.

 

[MacPherson]

Done, and he said wait for the list to come out. Hence my trying to find out early.

If you have got DII use the following link:

http://www.apc.dii.r.mil.uk/

go to the MS(B) page and scroll down to the bit about career fields - each career field is hyperlinked and on each of their pages is a consolidated list of jobs and a prediction of roughly when they will be come available.

Cheers for the link, I'll check it next week. If its the same as one I checked a while ago, it did not go sufficiently far back, i.e. 2 years, to be able to work out exactly which jobs are due up, although it gave a rough idea of the sort and type of jobs.

If you have a nerd for these things (I, alas confess) they will have copies of the job list from two yrs ago. I started collecting them when I got promoted and have a pretty good idea of what is coming up next. Big caveat though. People leave early, get extended, etc so it is not accurate but does give you a steer.

Before I am berated for being a blue flamed thruster, belive me I am not that good. I am just looking for a way to manage my career as no one lese will.

I also have noticed that I can't type very well today!!!!!!

Mysteron is quite right, the only person who looks after your career is you. I will certaily be taking his advice and keeping a rolling copy of the jobs list. Better safe than sorry. However I am sure they will still ignore the prefrences and post you somewhere way of to the left flank "Needs of the Army!" and all that.

You will have no problem getting a SO3s job in Germany.
There are several HQs, UKSC(G), ARRC, 1 Div, 4, 7, 20, 102Xs, whether the job is interesting is a different question?? E1 or E2?

I'm going to ITC in Jan as a Pl Comd following my stint in Iraq. Already a capt but wonder if there are any SO3 jobs for me after that in Scotland, perhaps in HQ 2 Div. I'm Kings Div. And I really can't be arrsed going back to Bn after ITC to be an RSO or some other such drudgery. The Scotland factor would benefit my personal circumstances although I wonder if it would hinder my career?

Try SO3 Go@t P@rn in the Hebrides if you want a really rewarding job.
