I studied a completely different degree, and the work I did before the Tax Specialist Programme in finance was completely different to what I do now. But when I read the listing for the Tax Specialist Programme I felt that I had the right sort of skillset to work in tax, and can happily say that I have nurtured and grown this skillset in my time on the Tax Specialist Programme. We often feel like because we've done one thing we need to stick with that one thing, but it's important to believe in your own skills and to embrace trying new things.

One of the things I enjoy most about my current position is that I am continuing on the learning process. I've always been a person who enjoyed learning new things, and in my current role I am on a formal learning programme and engage in a lot of informal learning that I can apply to my day-to-day work.
Greatest achievements
Being new to the Programme, positive feedback received from colleagues is my current greatest achievement!
