Top Insider Advice

In order to learn, improve and progress this can sometimes inevitably mean rejection somewhere along the way. Instead of letting this dampen your spirit, see it as a learning curve. Build the knowledge or skills you need, then try again. Whether your ambition is to progress right to the top, or be recognised as the best in your role, everyone has different goals and you are your best advocate.

What do you like about your job and the company?

My team work across HMRC recruitment. We have our bulk campaigns in customer service and customer compliance but we can be asked to support any recruitment campaign in any area of HMRC. This means no two days are really the same. We have an offering of how we can support campaigns with products and promotion on job boards and social channels. We are always looking at what else we can do, how we can improve and adapt to changing needs and environments. We engage with many different audiences, choosing the best way to communicate with these to explain what it's like to work at HMRC.

Make a difference in whatever you do. The roles in your career may change frequently or be quite stable. You may stick to one profession, end up working in a few or work in one you would never have expected to work in. Your best profession may not yet even exist! But whatever you do - make a positive difference. That difference can be to your customers, the public, the service you provide or the people you work with. It will be different in the roles you do - but make sure you change things for the better.

My best piece of advice is to get involved, speak out and make yourself known for all the right reasons! Ask as many questions as possible - there is no stupid question. If you don't ask - you don't get. I am also a firm believer of bringing your whole self to work, let your personality shine and be yourself.

I studied a completely different degree, and the work I did before the Tax Specialist Programme in finance was completely different to what I do now. But when I read the listing for the Tax Specialist Programme I felt that I had the right sort of skillset to work in tax, and can happily say that I have nurtured and grown this skillset in my time on the Tax Specialist Programme. We often feel like because we've done one thing we need to stick with that one thing, but it's important to believe in your own skills and to embrace trying new things.
