Sample key attribute response (a snippet from a full 2-page response)
Demonstrated high level interpersonal, written and oral communication skills, including an ability to liaise and negotiate with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders on complex issues:
"I have demonstrated strong written skills in this role. Legislation dictates that a worker’s wages steps down at 45 weeks to 75% of the weekly wage if a person is totally incapacitated. Upon review of a particular file I realised that the step down had not been applied to a particular worker’s claim and she had been receiving full wages for an additional period of approximately 26 weeks. The worker’s claim was a stress claim and dealing with her employer or insurer was extremely traumatic for her. I formulated a letter advising her that the stepdown had been inadvertently looked over and this being the case there were two issue I need to raise. 1. She would now be stepped down to the 75% of her wages as per Division 3, Section 19, and Paragraph 3 and 2. She now had an overpayment debt payable back to QBE. The letter I drafted advised the worker of these two facts, citing the relevant sections of the Act as well as offering her a payment plan in order for QBE to recoup the overpayment. I was aware that I would likely receive very negative feedback from her and even create more stress for her. This being the case I offered her the payment plan as opposed to a lump sum debt repayment option. She accepted my proposal and did not indicate any further aggravation based on this information."
