Revenue offers so many different and diverse roles, there is a lot of automation and systems that are in place which make the work a lot easier and more being developed all the time. Depending on what devision and section your being placed in you could being doing anything from taxes, phones, audits, customs, admin it really is so varied.

In general revenue offers great training opportunities and as one of the larger civil service employers there is decent chance for promotion too.

Hi I was also invited to express interest in EO role in Revenue in Cork a few weeks ago. Was invited to interview not long after and after what I thought was a poor interview performance, placed 10 in OOM and this weekend I'm sending them on the location preference stuff and confirming education eligibility details. Its good to read that you dont have to be very good at maths. Although I am confident in my basic arithmetic abilities, I wasn't the greatest at maths in school and was terrified of my business studies teacher which resulted in me despising all things accountancy related😝

Hi just wondering same about this position.

I also replied for the EOI in revenue for EO from the 2024 competition. Haven't heard a thing back so thinking I did something wrong with it.

Was there a form also to complete as I'm pretty sure I just completed a tick the box so probably made a mess of it.

Cheers

Don't forget that there are a lot of divisions in Revenue.

So Revenue in Dublin could be anything from Dublin Airport, Dublin Port to PAYE help lines etc.

Phone calls? Not all roles would be public facing.

Depends on the division you get. Could be up to 4 days WFH once 6/12 months training completed in office, which is FT.

All Revenue divisions have phone lines open to customers from 9.30am-1.30pm. ROS tech support opens on phones until 5pm. You may or may not be placed on phones but if placed into PAYE, more than likely will be on phones.

Almost every office job will use the phone sometimes.

Some jobs have taking calls from the public. Other have you making calls - to public or to businesses.

Others may have you phoning businesses, employees, suppliers, etc. Some of these tasks have moved to email or online systems - but sometimes you WILL have to talk to people.

All your questions depend on what team you get placed into. If you have been offered a spot, ask to speak to the team lead.

Almost certainly yes, Revenue in general are very biased towards WFH. There maybe an initial orientation period of weeks or months in the office.

You're welcome, btw.
