Would I be less likely to get on the Graduate course?
Discussion
It's a Friday and I have to go to work this evening, and I hate my job (tills at a supermarket) so I'm currently job hunting while trying to write my dissertation.
I am planning on applying for a Graduate traineeship in Marketing and Fundraising with Cancer Research UK. However, their application process starts in October and the actual traineeship starts some time in 2009. I'm not sure I can last at the supermarket that long as I've only been there 5 weeks and already want to quit.
At the moment CR UK's website has a job local to me as an Area Assistant, organising fundraising teams, sorting out meetings etc etc.
But I'm not sure that, if I apply for and manage to get this job, I would then be excluded from applying for the Traineeship? They might not be willing to take me on if I already work in the organisation.
Anyone know?

have you got the day off? get down the job centre, if you haven't found something better than the supermarket [for short term job] by the end of the day then something is wrong.
every summer at uni it never took more than 48hrs to find work - job at the airport, job at the bookies [loads of fun], bar work, etc.
at the lower end of the jobs market you're competing with no marks, its very very easy to find something better if the tills aren't doing it for you. unless there are loads of hotties working there too, in which case maybe give it a while longer

I'm female, and straight, so good looking women in the workplace isn't generally what I look for in a workplace ^_^every summer at uni it never took more than 48hrs to find work - job at the airport, job at the bookies [loads of fun], bar work, etc.

And once I have finished my dissertation I will be looking for something better, it's due on the 15th September and the supermarket job is only 10 hours a week (plus any overtime I also do) and it basically covering petrol money, a bit of cash to give my parents and saving some towards paying off my career development loan.
I'm just VERY bored at the moment and need a work that's a bit more challenging than "scan, scan, scan, £5.99 please".

should've read your profile, to each their own! if you can do the hours, bar work can be lots of fun if you are working in a decent one with likeminded people. more license to mess about and drunk customers to play with when bored.
at least the supermarket is finite, its what you do with your career proper thats important. good luck.
Every time I pop in there, I need to scrape the carpet fluff off the bottom of my tongue afterwards 
I would suggest that you would be more likely to get on the scheme if yopu have worked for them. Consider the numbers of workers who temp and then apply for a job within the organisation they temp for. (Lots get the job).
However you would need to be honest at the interview as they may not want to recruit you if you are only going to be in post for a few months - until the training place comes up.
I would definatley talk to their HR department if I was you.
