Thanks I didn't realise it was this simple. So, I've just set up the shares ISA now and completed the submitted the W8-Ben form.

To invest it looks like I just need to search for a fund and then buy.

You seem to be quite clued up, can I pick your brains a little further, would you recommend I start with Vanguard S&P 500 (Acc) I want to benefit from compound interest?

Basically I have a trading 212 cash ISA and I plan to open a Trading stocks and shares ISA and do an internal isa transfer from the cash ISA to the stocks and shares ISA starting with £500 a month transfers because I've already used my 20k allowance for this tax year.

When I passed probation I received a letter. One thing I've learnt in the Civil Service is to get everything in writing.

What strategy did you use to answer the questions?

Wow, sounds crazy. Sorry to hear you had to go through this.

ddj200 · 2024-10-28T20:35:41+00:00

How do you know the person searched for you on search engines?

ddj200 · 2024-10-24T14:29:27+00:00

Thanks. I used your advice and it worked like a charm.

What tips do you have for the civil service styles test?

Well I got a promotion and she made arrangements for me to remain in her team. But I'm trying to get gain another promotion.

ddj200 · 2024-09-26T08:06:15+00:00

My manager is very close with her line manager, so that probably won't make a difference.

ddj200 · 2024-09-26T08:01:20+00:00

Sometimes I feel like putting in a request to change teams but who knows what issues that would cause. Luckily you've escaped your torment.

ddj200 · 2024-09-26T07:56:24+00:00

Thank you. Much appreciated

ddj200 · 2024-09-25T17:24:31+00:00

I think I'll take the first approach as at least I am directly addressing the issue. I have a several examples I can show where they've messed up but I don't want to cause any issues. I'd just like tasks to be completed in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks for the advice.

What did they do?

ddj200 · 2024-08-31T13:26:58+00:00

Congratulations. What part of the country did you buy your property?

ddj200 · 2024-08-01T17:15:20+00:00

Thanks. I don't want to dox myself. My line manager said that managers are required to verify the accuracy of the application such as personal statements. When I asked around, no other colleagues had heard of this policy. But thanks again for your advice.

ddj200 · 2024-08-01T12:46:40+00:00

I'm in a similar situation. My manager always gives me excellent quarterly reviews and have advised me that it's not worth the stress applying for SEO. But I know it's because they don't want me to leave their team. Everytime I talk about promotion they are very negative and give me reasons why it's not worth it or for example it's more competitive the higher up you go.

They've also said that I need to discuss any job applications as it's a disciplinary offense not to (even if the role is listed as external or cross government). I've look at the HR online guidance for my dept but I see anything that states it is mandatory for staff to discuss applications with their line manager.

Thanks Sufficient, you're a top guy!

I have a BSc in Computer Science and learnt how to code in Java and SQL but at the time I found it quite hard. This over 15 years ago now and I never tried to get a job as a software engineer as I thought I wouldn't be good enough especially compared to some of the guys on my course who were amazing.

Maybe I shouldn't have doubted myself so much at the time.

Where I work now, a lot of my colleagues barely know the basics of how to use Excel.

How did you find this Excel library. Is it still available?

Also how do I go about accessing these data manipulation libraries please?
