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.

Marketing and Social Media Manager

Company

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.

Top Insider Advice

We often get bogged down with life and maybe a little stuck in rut, and can start to doubt ourselves. Think about what you've achieved, not just within your career, but through life in general and remember how fabulous you are! So many life experiences and personality traits will get you far in your career, stop and take time to think about this, then showcase your wonderful self.

I really believe that if you work hard and give your very best in your career path then you will succeed in the role you want to get to. I took every opportunity in my career to develop my skills and learn new skills which helped me to progress in my career.

Top Insider Advice

The Tax Professional Programme is difficult, but that's ok because it prepares you for a leadership position within a world leading tax authority, embrace it. Although, you might often find it hard to juggle learning, casework and Quality Assurance Framework tasks, don't forget to get involved in activities that might switch your focus to other rewarding things, like volunteering, or getting involved in HMRC's Regional Pillars work, or being an ambassador / lead for one of the many networks we have. This will allow you to pause from your day-to-day activities and make you feel like you belong to a community of like minded people, rather than a student or a compliance caseworker.
