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.

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.

I never thought I would get onto the TSP. I had to push myself out of my comfort zone to attend the assessment centres, take part in all of the activities. I continue to do so with my day job - I don't like presenting, but I do lots of it. It builds confidence and resilience. Rationalise what's the worse that could happen by trying something new, or taking on a new challenge. For me, with the assessment centre, if I didn't get accepted - so be it. I got good experience of interviewing. Met new and interesting people, and got free food from attending the assessment centre (back when they were in person). Once I told myself these things, I pushed myself out my comfort zone to attend the day. I had worked hard to get the invite, so although I wasn't confident in going and being myself, that's what I had to do and it worked out well. Take the set backs as opportunities to reflect, develop and learn from. Keep pushing through set backs and pushing yourself out of your normal comfort zone to be able to achieve the goals you set for yourself.
