Top Insider Advice

Never by shy or afraid to try something new and don't expect opportunities to come to you, they might do, if you're in the right place at the right time but mostly, it's about keeping your eyes open. Taking action on your goals and believing in yourself is important, lets face it, you are your own best friend. Be open and flexible and avoid linear thinking as you can miss opportunities right in front of you. Doing something different to your business as usual is a great way to meet new people, network and learn more about yourself.

Career path

CSG Advisor

HMRC

Company

What do you like about your job and the company?

Collecting tax for the Revenue is a worthy cause as it pays for essential services such as NHS, Housing and Transport and other services. Being able to communicate and negotiate arrangements while working effectively with other teams gets the outcome with little or no effort. I have developed a number of skills such as ability to negotiate, communicating and influencing as well as maintaining excellent stats.

Greatest achievements

I was nominated for an award by my Manager which was a proud achievement, it was fulfilling to be recognised for the work I had done for the department. Having consistently high stats and over delivering got me recognised by my Manager and I won the award. I have been involved in a few projects which has benefited the organisation.

Top Insider Advice

I've had a huge variety of roles in HMRC, and I've enjoyed all of them. I've found it's not always necessary to chase promotion. A sideways move to another area can expand your horizons and build your skills and this is recognised when you're ready to take the next step. I've always tried to maintain job satisfaction above all else. I've done a couple of jobs I've really hated, so I moved on and found something else. I've found if I'm happy in my job, I perform better and this is noticed. Also, don't be afraid to ask for opportunities or for what you want. I've always believed 'if you don't ask, you don't get' – the worst that could happen is someone says no and you're no worse off.
