The apprenticeship is giving me a really good overview of HR and understanding of what is involved in this sector.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Home Office to a friend?
No
Why?
It's a hard maybe really - a lot of the roles are operational roles, so unless you enjoy that, I wouldn't recommend it.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Home Office?
Really research what the role is and don't be too disheartened with the application process. It takes some getting used to.
