Visa/Accommodation/Security/Medical Update
Well folks, had a call from BAE Systems on Friday and although it was a Saudi based company that recruited me and offered me the role, they part of BAe Systems, so its BAe handling all of the UK based stuff.
Gotta go up to near Preston for a medical/Induction, and as they only do it every two weeks, the next one I can make is 6th Feb. Those results take three weeks to come back so that's already up to end of Feb. Then a Visa to sort out, but it sounds like the biggest hold up will be the accommodation.
So, the realistic ( so I thought ) guess of late March / early April might still be a little too early for me to be out there.
They will start the security clearance thing though, so at least something is happening, but its gonna take a while by the sounds of it. I was looking forwrd to coming out there asap
