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.

You will bring a unique perspective to a role as your experience will have been different from that of others. Don't be afraid to bring that to the fore, it is what makes you, you and brings a valuable contribution to a team. I wish I'd thought this more when I first joined the Civil Service!

For me personally life is all about helping others where you can and also about making memories with the people closest to you. Work life balance is key for me and having the ability to work on a variety of activities, being able to collaborate with various stakeholder. Work out what matters most to you in regards to a job role or career. It is important to find a job role which you enjoy doing and is fulfilling as this will keep you motivated. Do not underestimate yourself, if there is a course you wish to do, if you want to change careers completely, just go for it, reach out for support and guidance.
