What do you like about your job and the company?
I enjoy the challenges that being recruitment lead brings. I have a small team of recruiters, who deal with all our permanent recruitment for CDIO Borders & Trade. Processes change quite quickly and over the last few months there have been organisation changes as well, so feel that I am always learning and updating my knowledge.
Greatest achievements
Before COVID my team were nominated for a HMRC peoples award, where we were invited to a ceremony in London. It was lovely for the team to be recognised for all the hard work that they do.

If there is one thing in my 20+ years in the civil service I have figured out it is you will never know if you don't try.
Early on in my career I would never volunteer for opportunities, I wouldn't offer up answers or contribute to group meetings or working groups and missed the opportunity to apply for roles I would have loved to try my hand at. This was all through the fear of looking stupid or failing and how other people would view me.
Not to say I have never failed as I have, be that in job applications or the approach I have taken to work tasks. The biggest thing I will share here is I have learned so much more from failing than I ever have from getting something right first time. The support from my colleagues during these times was surprising, there are so many great people who work across our government departments which fosters a great environment to be part of.
Don't forget if you learn or take something way from an experience how can that be seen as a failure. Don't stop trying.
