I think we can all feel a sense of imposter syndrome, and that inner voice saying you are not capable. You are ! I think we all need to recognise that work can be challenging and not always as straightforward as you want it to be, which is where the doubt can set it. Its all about building that resilience for me, don't give up. If you want something just keep working towards it, even if that means taking it slowly.

What do you like about your job and the company?
i work with a lot of different stakeholders from different parts of HMRC's organisation, i have to ensure i understand the changes to influence stakeholders, resolve mitigations and build successful relationships to ensure i can gather all the information i need to support benefits/disbenefits identified from any policy driven change. I enjoy talking to people and working through delivery problems.

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.
