Hi,

I'm not sure if you will still be checking this forum but wanted to ask if you took up this EO position?

I have been offered the same job for this year and wondering if you could give me anymore information about your experience of this job and the training so far?

Thanks

I've also been offered an EO position, starting in Jan. Can I ask what office they've offered you.

Any other insight would be appreciated.

I have been offered central London and I start in October. Where have you been offered? Have you had information about your security checks? On the other forum people have been saying they have already received their DBS checks so I'm worrying that mine might not get back in time :s

Where abouts have you been offered? I also start in Jan

Hi everyone!

I started on the TPDP12 in Warrington last month, so I thought I'd stop by and see if I can divulge any pearls of wisdom for you hopefuls for next year! People on this forum tend to be super helpful and friendly in general btw, so check back often so you can all gee each other on and give each other tips!

First of all, practice, practice, practice for the numerical test if you haven't all already taken it! A fabulous test site I found is http://www.efinancialcareers.co.uk/numerical_test.htm if you haven't all found it already! You have to register to do the practice tests, but they are quite similar to the actual test and give really good explanations to the workings of the answers if I remember correctly, so I hope they help you guys too! I can't stress enough either, to make sure you are as calm and undisturbed as possible to do all the online tests, as they really do need concentrating on! Have a calculator, pen and plenty of paper to help you through the numerical tests!

Jumping ahead to next year, those of you who get through to the assessment centres, the first, half day, one is basically just to prove that it was you who did the online tests, although they are far harder than the online tests!

The full day assessment centre is great! It is so taxing (excuse the pun! ) and challenging, but if you are anything like me, you will love every minute!

The above is all assuming that they don't change things in the meantime btw!! For those of you who get a place on the course next year, it is flippin hard work from the outset, so don't expect a free ride! If you are willing to put the time, effort and 4 years of dedication and hard work in, then carry on with the process, it will be worth it for you!

Hope this all helps you, you will prob find most of the info above somewhere on this thread, but I hoped it might be useful to some of you to have a lil summary in one place!

I am loving my time in HMRC, and I have a good feeling this will continue for many years to come (as long as I don't fail my exams!!)!

Good luck to you all!!
