Family at RM

Post by Barbel »

I've noticed there's a lot of family members working at my DO, brothers/sisters/fathers/daughters & partners. My sister has an interview on Tuesday at a different DO than the one I work in though it's in the same county. Do you think she'll have more chance of getting the job if she says I also work for RM?

Probably a better chance than a non family member. I think.

Thanks, I'd like to think so seeing there's so many family members working at my DO, she's pretty too so that may also go in her favour. :wink:

I used to know a whole family (3 generations I believe), that worked for RM.
It was actually quite restrictive for them, they were afraid to make waves in case others were targeted.

My brother did consider applying. Until he'd spoken to me.....
