Hi there current and former civil servants. Looking for some advice on how to progress my career.
I come from a private sector background and have joined the CS at HEO level. I work part time (3.5 days).
I've been in post a month. In any previous job I would be trying to cement my position as being a 'good pair of hands', demonstrating I'm capable, the right hire etc.
However, I work for a particularly busy Department (take a guess!) and think I have made a very good first impression. I have two primary workstreams which I am delivering on independently already. My manager has been (temp) promoted leaving both an SEO and G7 gap. As a result I've been pulled in to a couple more very high profile workstreams with exposure to many G6s and above.
How soon before I can start responding to EOIs and looking at job applications? I am ambitious and very interested in the projects for which jobs will be coming up, but concerned that I haven't been working on my existing workload for more than 5 minutes!
Advice please!
