Many agencies look for tax revenue officers who are self-starters and can work independently. While working in a team environment is also required as you collaborate with coworkers and supervisors, agencies want revenue officers who can conduct independent research of tax returns and interview and investigate taxpayers. The interviewer asks this question to see that you can work independently and not need to be closely supervised if hired.

Explain that you work well independently and with teams. The interviewer wants to hear that you can work in different types of situations but that you do not need close supervision.

If you want to be considered for the position, avoid saying that you require close supervision. The interviewer wants a tax revenue officer who is comfortable working alone but knows when to ask a supervisor for assistance with an investigation or a case.

"I am very comfortable working independently. I have worked as a revenue officer for five years and have always worked alone, except when I need to collaborate with colleagues or other agencies. I work well in a team environment as well as independently. I do not prefer close supervision as I am confident in my skills as a revenue officer. If I have a question or require assistance from my supervisor, I do not hesitate to ask them."
