Oldest first- 0Ulysses Garcia ·You need to consider things when shifting;
do you have the ability or knowlwdge to the new work from gas to bldg, etc.
Pls. remember that planning has a wide variety of specialties, maybe you are expert in gas but no how in building , etc..
Some planners are known having expertise in manuvering the software which is basically known as SCREEN JOCKEY... - 0Oliver Melling ·Interviews are designed to determine if you have the ability to do the work. If they want you to work for them, then they must think you can do the job.
Most important thing is to move if you feel you want to and never regret not going after you don’t.
