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.

What do you live about your job and the company?
As we are a growing team, there is so much to get stuck into and so much scope to grow our employer brand! This makes it a really exciting role, as I will be able to see first hand how the work we are doing is contributing to our overall objectives.
Greatest achievements
In one of my first marketing roles at John Lewis Liverpool, I was given an opportunity by Liverpool ONE to be on the judging panel to help judge the best dressed at Ladies Day, Aintree. This is a far cry from #LifeAtHMRC, however it provided me with so many amazing opportunities, including speaking on the radio, TV and in front of an entire room of racing journalists. It was amazing to represent the brand I was working for and something I was so proud to be involved in on behalf of my city! I have a real passion for fashion and retail, so it was a job I thoroughly enjoyed.

It is important to keep trying. Not everybody will make it first time, I did not when applying for Tax Professional Training, but I was put on a reserve list and called up later. Many do not make it first time but they do make it second time round. The process for recruitment can be long, but do not get disheartened, this is to give everybody the best chance of being accepted. If you can, get feedback and consider it for future applications. Feedback will often point our your weak area that can easily be improved with a bit of practice. If you do get on a training programme, be aware that though tough, they want you to succeed and will do everything they can to support you in achieving the end goal. Do say if you need extra support, they cannot provide it unless you tell them you need it. I am dyslexic and they took this into account for exams providing computer rather than writing and also extra time for reading.
