So I have found another job which is more or less what I am doing now, the money is better but there is a bit of travelling involved, 16 miles a day to be exact, which isnt a big deal for me.

I dont really want to move from where I am as its more or less on my doorstep but I do want the extra money. When I applied to my current work place there were 2 posts available, and IT tech role and a senior tech role, I know I have already passed my probation even though the last probation meeting is in August. The senior tech role that was advertised is more or less what I am doing now but just not getting paid for it, so I am going to apply for this other role and if I get offered I will try and use it as a bargaining chip.

Would people on CF suggest that this was a good way to go about it? I am thinking if I get the offer, which I am not going to lie, I may not get it, then meeting up with my current boss and saying, I have been offered this role etc, this is what I will get paid, obviously I want to stay here etc.

Is this a good and fair approach?

Cheers for any advice

Ed

Just doing my personal statement for this other role, I think I may need to condense it down, I am on three pages already ha h a
