I have had my formal offer and start date today! My induction is the 7th of January so that will be just over 8 weeks since the start of my application, I may finish my current job at the end of December so I have a week off before I start. Can’t wait to get stuck in!

I missed the call then got an email so had a direct number to get in touch. They were trying to get me to go to a centralised induction day best part of an hour away but couldn’t possibly do it. Am going into work today as am off this week to hand notice in. Am starting half 6 on Wednesday morning so by sounds of it I’m going to be threw in at the deep end. I work in retail atm so am used to the madness but excited now.

Hey just in the door from my induction day. Well watch a couple of videos and got sent out on a run with 2 other guys around 8:30 and was back in office for 13:00. It was good but hard on the body but I no will get easier. Already hate door to doors lol. You will also. Was a bit scary at first will so much info and terminology to take on board but am pretty confident I’ve made the correct decision and switched careers. Good luck to all any questions I will try to answer if can.
