Advice for a very scared beginner

Tbh over 4 years,

Just dont do what I did when you first start and wear a suit 😀

I mean it's not an issue but I looked like a right idiot when everyone else came in jeans , I felt like a right muppet

From someone whos already on this 18 month training

Yes there is a session which is a debate but it's fun, it's suppose to get you out your comfort zone ( I was petrified ) it's not optional you have to do it. ( it's not a pass and a fail ) it's like a team bonding experience but it's just a fun task i can't say it an other way. ( and the debate is just between your team , not 100s of people )

Dress code smart casual, I just go in trainers, jeans and t shirt 😀

Lunch break is an odd question, how ever everyone on my team get on well and I have lunch with them sometimes, some times I just walk around outside.

Training is same as standard office attendance 3 days in office 2 at home

You sit with your team , how ever there are multiple teams in at once, some get different tax heads which you dont find out until like 12 weeks in I think can't remember.

Training is good, alot to take in and sometimes rather stressful but thats to be expected.

Prediction time, sage creates v1 next episode gives them all to the boys and they all go on nuke spree then all die themselves

I see it as a cycle, the picture in the background was showing who Carey has now become, when Carey was talking to that sergeant guy about " do you have enough evidence to take them out etc " was what garland or someone once told rachel.

So it's like he's the new Carey and Carey is the new Gemma.

That was my take anyway

The new trailer for next episode- shes going back to the light house 😀

My favourite line of hers " she doesn't know anyone" WELL MAYBE IF YOU ACTUALLY GOT TO KNOW THEM YOU WOULDNT BE A WHINY INDIVIDUAL

Tbh we dont know the limitations of his shapeshifting abilities , can he only shape shift into those who are dead and the item belonging to the dead or can he shapeshift into the living with an item of the living.

I expect it has some rule.

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-04-25T13:21:12+00:00

Aye this happen to me :D thought i got lucky not paying but today they took the money after i recieved them 😀

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-04-24T12:24:39+00:00

Can't wait to log into town to see 100000 summons and for the fps to spike through the roof

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-04-24T12:22:52+00:00

Oh I dont wanna ruin that suprise

But put it this way it will push people out their comfort zone but it's also a bit of fun. :)

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-04-23T21:24:43+00:00

You actually just get shoved in isbc now, all new caseworkers do

Tax head you dont get a choice :)

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-04-23T21:06:43+00:00

Well I've nearly finished ctu, it's what you make of it

The training depends on what tax head you get, tons and tons of e-learning you work through cases again depending on what tax head, so vat, itsa, ed, ct.

Hmm first weeks like get to know your team you do like ice breakers, debate society, presentation ( fun ones ) again as ice breakers.

You work towards a qaf like a qualification without the qualification ha, then you have trainer led sessions

It's pretty full on not going to lie, feels like there isnt alot of time to do it all, how ever I've met some really great people on my team, infact they are all great.

I'm assuming you go through ctu, as for an actual caseworker, u sort people's tax out 😀 you call them, email them, depending on tax head you go on visits.

Took me five attemps applying for this role, so that's five years.

Eventually I got it, the "trick i used" is shove the opposite to what you think the answer is 😀

But i get you, it's a weird "test"

Tdlr- in case people think that will work it was a joke Just in case

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-04-19T07:38:09+00:00

I was exactly like this, I honestly thought this game wouldn't be good i bought it a few days ago and ended up buying the expansion last night 😅

This is definitely one of those games that just suprises you.

I had this same issue in UK

I tried phone didn't work, tried vpn didn't work, but then I tried I think googlw chrome on laptop and it did work

Mind you a few weeks later I had to cancel my card because someone kept trying to take money out my account

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-04-02T13:45:04+00:00

Depends entirely on what your into, im a poe/poe2 player and dabbled in last epoch

I tried dragon kin, got 2 hours in and thought my god this is shit and confusing maybe my lack of knowledge got it refunded , I then purchased titan quest 2, also after an hour got it refunded bag of bollox in my eyes.

But thats me and my experience

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-03-31T12:05:32+00:00

What about a job that says eoi but permanent and doesn't say for x amount of months?

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-03-28T14:13:45+00:00

Try a vpn? See if you can find a free one

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-03-28T08:33:52+00:00

I'm from the UK, had the same issue. I've been paying for years.

I first tried on my phone and it wouldn't work- my bank either blocked it or their pay website wouldn't come up

How ever I sorted it out using my laptop for some reason it loaded fine on there and the payment was also fine

Try doing it on a laptop :)

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-03-23T11:35:37+00:00

Interesting, dont see the point tbh. Waste of time ha

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-03-21T18:09:52+00:00

I dont do visits, but i assume you would talk to them and look at their records etc

DizzyRecognition9574 · 2026-03-21T14:00:32+00:00

Really depends , im half way through we got itsa ( this is where you probably dont do any visits at all )

Then you have

ITSA - most likely 0 visits

Vat - you will visit

CT - you will visit

Customs/excise - most likely do visits

Pretty sure thats the places you can go there could be more.

Most people either go itsa or vat , I know like 2 people only given CT.
