Why am I an ideal candidate?

 With a client-centric approach and effective communication skills as my cornerstone, I recently faced a challenging client situation that required a strategic resolution. Here's how I leveraged my skills:

  • Employing advanced call control techniques, I skillfully encouraged the client to succinctly outline their complaint. By actively listening, I assumed command of the conversation, swiftly offering the resolution they sought.
  • Taking proactive steps, I initiated an application on the client's behalf to provide an exceptional customer service experience and improve the ATO's public image.


The outcome of this interaction was highly positive. The client successfully withdrew superannuation from their self-managed super fund, which had not been visible in the ATO's online systems. The client expressed gratitude and acknowledged my exceptional service through ATO online channels, leading to my recognition with a compliment certificate. My actions not only resolved the client's issue but also transformed an initially negative experience into a positive one.


I am also a dedicated team player, consistently collaborating with stakeholders and colleagues to ensure timely fulfillment of business requirements and equipping my team with the necessary capabilities.


In my role as an Intelligence Officer, I actively supported my team in managing Community Tip-Offs, applying my technical knowledge to analyze the data provided by these reports. To achieve this, I undertook the following:

  • Investigated and researched the tip-offs and their potential impact on the ATO and the community.
  • Established valuable connections with business partners to ensure the efficient gathering of accurate information for risk assessment and action.
  • Evaluated existing processes and procedures, identifying opportunities for streamlining and enhancing the framework.
  • Generated detailed analysis reports in Excel, categorizing the tip-offs to reveal transparent patterns and trends for stakeholders.
  • Transformed this data into a PowerPoint presentation, tailored to convey key insights to stakeholders in an accessible format.


This approach, using data-driven insights and information, facilitated a positive client interaction and improved processes. My strong communication skills also played a vital role in helping clients meet their obligations while adhering to ethical, policy, and procedural standards.

By supporting staff and implementing my expertise in current processes, our team experienced improved efficiencies and capabilities. Succession planning and streamlined procedures that I developed have further supported staff and enhanced work outcomes for the ATO.
