Testifying at court proceedings can be one of the job duties of a tax revenue officer, and the interviewer wants to hear about your experience. The interviewer asks this question to see if you have testified in court and how comfortable you were doing so. If you have never testified in court, be honest and say that you have not. Then, describe how you feel you will do well since you are comfortable speaking in public and have excellent communication skills.

If you have testified in court, tell the interviewer approximately how many times and describe your comfort level in doing so. It is normal to be nervous when testifying in court, but most revenue officers become more confident and less anxious over time.

If you have never testified in court, avoid saying that you have. The interviewer will find out when contacting your references, and you never want to be dishonest in an interview.

"As a new tax revenue officer, I have never testified in court. However, I feel confident in my investigative skills and do not have an issue speaking in public. I have excellent communication and documentation skills, and I feel those skills will help me when testifying in court for the first time."
