True, I guess, but I thought I could portray my own skills better in the section asking me to describe relevant experience as none of my previous jobs had anything relating to ATC. As it wasn't a requirement I thought I would just give what was needed, but obviously it may differ for someone else who has different work experience.

Good on you. I wish you all the luck. Just stay motivated and you will be fine!
I did mention my previous jobs in the interview and fortunately I have been at my current employer for almost 4 years now with no gaps. I guess that helped. I'm also in the financial services industry currently and I know what you mean regarding head hunting. I'm sure if you clearly give them reasons as to why you left then they will understand. Would you agree Gonzo?
