IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON TAX JOB MARKET AND TIPS TO SECURE A NEW JOB WITH GEORGIANA HEAD

Georgiana Head • Jan 26, 2021

Coronavirus has taken its toll across the UK economy, and it is no secret that it has taken an impact on available jobs, including jobs within the tax profession.

Some working in tax have been furloughed for prolonged periods, and some will be at risk of, or have already been faced with, redundancy. 


It is inevitably a difficult time, and I wanted to help in some way through the podcast, to help those of you who are in an unfortunate position and need to look for a new job in an unprecedented market. 

So, Georgiana Head, an experienced and well-known tax recruiter, joined me on the podcast to explain from her experience what the current tax-job market looks like, how it is changing, and to provide you with tips to improve your chances of successfully landing your next job. 


Georgiana first trained in tax, becoming ATT qualified and working for PwC, before moving to recruitment. She works closely with candidates to help them understand suitable and available jobs, even if this is for a role which she is not recruiting for, and helps them to increase their chances of being offered a tax job by improving CVs and helping them to properly prepare for interviews.
