I forgot to come back yesterday and update on the career benefits on offer from the UK Mobile operators, well after checking them all out in detail here it is:
They all offer pretty much the same stuff, the only difference being Orange who throw a “party” for the staff every so often.
Yeah Great that is really going to convince me to send a CV to them over anyone else, when I look at jobs I don’t want a staff party as part of my benefit package, I want things like health insurance, paid holiday time, the option for flexible working hours and pension plans (amongst other things). To sum it up, my CV will be going off to T-Mobile as nothing about any of the other networks managed to sway me to apply to them, they all give you a free mobile phone apart from vodafone who only give you a discount option, which I think is pretty poor for a company of their size, they all pay a fairly reasonable salary, they all have vacancies in my selected field and they all offer exactly the same amount of annual paid holiday.
So here goes me to upload my CV to T-Mobile Careers, wish me luck
