As someone said previously in this thread it might just depend on who's desk it lands at. Thanks for the replies everyone. This thread had been very helpful during the process.

I have no idea if that score is good or not, as I don't know how many are in that batch for Dublin. Good luck anyway! If anyone knows anything be sure to let me know too!

happylad21 wrote: » Hi All, I just have a few questions if anyone would mind answering them! In general what is it like working in Revenue as a clerical officer? What is the training like in Revenue? Is Revenue working from home or are they still based in the office? Is Revenue supportive in learning and development and would it be okay to suggest to Revenue what kind of development your interested in such as professional exams even though you’re a clerical officer? Any insight would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks!

So it’s training over Skype and emailing and Skype calls between team members etc. Most people are super helpful so it’s all good. As stated above most are working from home (so no flexi allowed), that being said I believe a lot of teams are hoping to be back in the office before Xmas at least on a pro rats basis (so maybe 3 in and 2 from home). Obviously if your new you may be brought in 5 days so you can train better. Learning supports are good, lots of courses and you can apply for degrees in taxation etc. Up to your EO and HEO but nearly everyone I’ve met in revenue has been supportive of people bettering themselves. Best of luck in it �� best decision I made and it was a big decision as it was a big drop in wages from private but it’s been great so far.
