Some people know exactly what they want in their career, but that does not apply on everyone. What are the advantages and disadvantages of certain roles and companies? There are large, but bridgeable, differences between tax consultancy and in-house tax roles. I am experienced in recruitment for both types, and will be happy to share my insights.
Quite often people ask me: Is it smart to start working as an interim tax professional? The answer to this question depends on several factors. For example your knowledge, experience, entrepreneurship and the “market” for interim. Your personal situation is important too. In an open conversation, we explore the opportunities and I help you forming a clear view. When you have explored your options, you decide which role suits you best. Of course our conversations are confidential.
Applying for a job = Presenting + Interviewing
Surely, as the applicant I am the one who will be interviewed? Of course, but wouldn’t you like to know more about the company, the role, and your new colleagues? For some people applying for a job is easy, but for others it is new and sometimes even scary. Many tax professionals have been hired by tax consultancy firms straight from university. What follows is a steep learning curve and a good start of your career. For this reason, you may have never been searching for new opportunities. Maybe you have hardly ever really applied for a job.
How will you prepare? How will you present yourself? Which skills will you demonstrate? Which questions would you like to get answered? With practical advice, I help you improve your skills. Please send me a message for my application “one pager”.
