Getting into a holding pool is great if it results in a job. Myself and numerous friends have been in one, sometimes two holding pools and they never materialised into jobs. Companies can change their mind overnight and may not even tell you. So dont do what I did and tell your family and friends you have a job and two months later its vanished into thin air, is so embarrassing to have to go back and tell them. Just wait until you have signed on the dotted line. I know its hard not to get excited, especially when most of us have waited years for our first job. Just keep sending out the CV's. You will do better interviews and sim checks if you think you already have a job in the bag. Good luck anyway, hope it all works out. D
