the approach would differ based on your RO, your background, the agency, etc. But if I were in an RO's position and a mid-career joiner comes to me expressing their interest, i would try and carve out some increasingly complex tasks for you to handle. you need to demonstrate a certain level of analytical, communication and other soft skills, so this would be a way for you to learn and prove yourself.
of course, this would probably not happen if you just joined the government. moving from private to public takes a bit of adjustment (and vice versa). so if a new joiner tells me this, i would hold off for about 3-6 months to let them adjust first.

This is quite decent sharing. Just want to add on to this point.
As the RO, before I crave something, I would have a sensing in me to know if the new joiner is it capable and is it something that i see the potential and tiny bit on putting my reputation on the line too. As well as other consideration before I will even consider helping this new joiner as their RO.
