... and could?

Peter KaestnerGUEST
What, what happens is about a year before you transfer, and I mentioned earlier that we're all sort of all from, you know, two to three-year stints in different places, and a year before you leave, you get a list of all the jobs that are opening up the next year.

Peter KaestnerGUEST
And probably two-thirds, maybe three-quarters of the transfers happen during the summer because a lot of families have children, so they, they transfer during the summer holidays as for school.

Peter KaestnerGUEST
So it just makes more sense that way.So you get this list in, uh, usually like August, September for what's coming up the next year.

Peter KaestnerGUEST
And you're allowed to put in, I think you have to put in s- seven and maximum of 13 different places.

Peter KaestnerGUEST
And you have to match up, um, your, what you, what kind of work you do, and also the level that you, that you are for, you know, in the, in the, the government you have GS five, six, seven, all, you know, different levels.
