Review the job announcement before your interview and highlight the keywords of the qualities, experience, and education the agency seeks in a tax revenue officer. Then, focus on using those keywords in your response. When describing how you meet all of their job requirements, the interviewer will see that you are a highly qualified candidate and place you high on the candidate list.

Many qualified candidates are interviewing for the same position. Avoid speaking negatively of the other candidates or sounding arrogant when responding to this question. You want to sell yourself in the interview, but don't make the interviewer think you will be a challenging person to work with.

"I am the best candidate for the position because I meet and exceed your job qualifications. I have over seven years of experience working as a revenue officer with diverse groups and cultures. I am empathetic, compassionate, level-headed, and work well under pressure. I have exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, and I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to your agency."
