Hmm... I appear to have touched a nerve when comparing
jobs! If you can get good experience to answer questions such as "give me an example of a complex problem you had to solve with many stakeholders... bla bla bla" from CC work then fantastic. Working as CC would also help to demonstrate passion for the industry, and the customer service side of it.
I wonder how many RAF de-selectees will be going for this, I would imagine they would have an upper hand over most.
