Since this post I've got my Job and I'm now a Lv.44 DRG. Tomorrow I carry on with the story quest as the next was locked until 44, and I believe I'm getting close to Garuda. So the aim now is to just aim towards 50 and push through the remainder of the story / Job questslook forward to having me some Lv.50 armour!
EDIT 13/11/14
So I've now done the Lv.45 Job quest to get 4/5 pieces of my DRG gear. Annndddddd...
...Garuda has fallen!
