Focus on your education as it relates to the position. You do not need to start with your high school diploma or GED. Start with post-secondary training and beyond. If you do not have post-secondary training and the position calls for only a high school diploma or GED, then mention that you are qualified for the position and have your diploma or GED. However, most tax revenue officer jobs require a minimum of a bachelor's degree to apply for the position.

Suppose the job announcement says the agency is looking for a tax revenue officer with a bachelor's degree in any subject. In that case, you want to have a bachelor's degree before applying to the position. Avoid not having the education required for the job. If you do not meet the agency's requirements, you will be disqualified as a candidate.

"I obtained my bachelor's degree in criminal justice eight years ago from Missouri Western State University. I then became a Certified Fraud Investigator through the International Association of Special Investigations Units. I have agreed to a code of ethics and passed their exam. I have maintained my certification by completing the necessary continuing education units and am in good standing as an investigator. I am now switching careers and feel that my investigative background will benefit me as a tax revenue officer."
