HMRC Tax Professional and Operational Delivery Higher Officer Caseworker

Morning!

I was wondering who you guys are putting down for your character references?? Can it be a current work colleague? Friend? Employer? I haven't received this email yet but want to be prepared for my response.

Your help and guidance would be much appreciated.

Those who work for HMRC currently - quick question. Do you know if you get any additional annual leave for Life events? I am getting married in December and my current work gives me an extra days leave for it.

Not in my office and I'd doubt anywhere else would be different

As ive only been in full time employments for the last 2 years after graduating uni, i put 2 trusted friends who I believe would give a well written and positive reference :-)

Am I the only once whose had the email & both references have been contacted?! Surely they're not going through us 1 by 1. Honestly this process is so bad!

It seems that way, I've had the email but my references haven't been contacted. How did they contact yours, by email?

You can wear casual clothes as its just handing your documents in. Im going for the o grade role still awaiting info about the heo role. What role you going for on Thursday?

I'm going for the O grade. I originally applied to the TSP program back in December last year but was unsuccessful, and got offered this on the back of it. It's kind of been a bit of a surprise to be honest!

Yeah it was by email. It's not a proper reference either, it's 3 yes or no questions. How long have you known the applicant, are you related to the applicant & do you think the applicant Ian suitable for a position where they nee to be trustworthy.
