How It Can Help You to Get Ahead
Employers really do value a full UK driving licence – so if you haven’t got yours, it could be time to remedy that.
Are you desperately doing all you can to land your dream job, or trying to impress enough to bag that big promotion? Then take a look away from your CV for a second and think about finally getting your driving licence. Here’s how learning to drive can improve your job prospects, and where you can find one of the best driving schools Colchester has to offer.
Impress at interviews
Have you applied for a job, successfully got an interview, only to fall at the final hurdle. Then take a moment to think how you may have answered a certain question. If your potential employer asked you how you would be travelling into work every day and you told them you would be relying on public transport, then that may have been what made them choose another candidate. The truth is, a person with a driving licence is much more attractive to employers.
Take your pick of careers
A driving licence can open so many doors. You will be able to take your pick from so many careers, from floristry to care work. So many careers take place outside of the confines of an office now, and the 9-5 working day isn’t as set in stone as it once was. A car will allow you to get somewhere at short notice, whatever time of the day. You could even set up your own business, knowing that you can travel to clients without needing to worry about public transport delays.
Appear more reliable
Being able to say that you have a full UK driving licence will instantly make you seem more reliable to an employer. They know that you are much more likely to be in work right on time. Of course, you can run into traffic – but that’s noting compared to the way problems can develop on public transport with very little warning. A driving licence marks you out as someone who can be counted on.
Impress your colleagues
If you already have a job but really want to impress your co-workers and boss, then a full driving licence could be what sets you apart. A lot of workplaces now have car sharing schemes, where employees will share a vehicle in order to reduce congestion and CO2 emissions. Being able to offer your co workers a lift will make you more popular in the office, and will certainly impress your boss too.
Finding the right instructor
So, you’re ready to get ahead in the workplace by getting behind the wheel. What next then? Well, the key is to find a great driving instructor. Nayland Driving School are regarded by many as the very best Colchester has to offer. Their male and female instructors will guide you through the process at a pace that is right for you, and will identify your strengths and weaknesses and get you test ready in no time at all.
Go on, take the plunge!
Now that you know just how much learning to drive can help you to progress in your career, why not start your lessons this year? By the end of 2020, you could have secured the role that you were always meant for.
