within the fraud team which is pretty cool so i'm working as a senior analyst so I’m helping out with some
fraud investigation stuff
fraud investigations basically what I’m doing whether it's individuals or businesses whenever they're victims of
fraud whether it's credit card fraud or identity theft we basically will reimburse them for the for the amount
that was taken
from them as long as we have adequate proof that fraud they were victimized wasn't their own fault and that
it was just someone who ended up taking advantage of them so we deal with figuring out what's going on with
different clients and then reimbursing them accordingly
i see myself in operations job, i'm the kind of person i need to be like kept on my toes and I’ve constantly given
new things to work on and i think fraud is the perfect place for that and detail oriented and meticulous,
making decisions fast-paced decisions under pressure i tend to do a lot better under pressure, i figured that
that is definitely a place that I want to get some experience and also an incredible opportunity to learn,
would need to have i'd say patience some of the clients because when they're victims of fraud they can get
quite stressed out and angry or whatever negative emotion they may um be feeling a lot of the time it'll be
projected onto you so i'd say patience is the biggest thing because you can deal with clients in a very polite and
timely manner and sort of reassure them that everything's going to be fine and they're going to get their
money back and if not then whatever steps are required for them to resolve the issue are outlined for them so
it's it's mostly just i'd say patience
I am so excited at the opportunity to be considered. At the very heart of it I am a detail-oriented and analytical
thinker. I love having the opportunity to learn about a subject matter whether it's a regulation, or an area of
expertise like anti-money laundering.
I really love to drill down into that subject matter and learn as much as I can and understand it. But then this
role also will then provide me with the opportunity to take that knowledge and apply it into a business
context.
It's really great to work with such a dynamic business as yours that has got multiple products and service
offerings and take my skill set my knowledge about Compliance.
I'm really passionate about compliance and practicing AML/KYC and I think my natural abilities and skills
lean heavily towards me being able to be successful in this role.

Q. What are the most important skills, competencies and qualities that you believe a compliance analyst needs
to have?
Reply: I believe that a compliance officer needs to have a very thorough, strong grasp of all the technical skills
from risk assessment, risk identification, monitoring, change management, all those technical skills that a
compliance role needs to have, but above and beyond that a truly great compliance officer is one that also
balances the technical and the soft skills because the soft skills are what allows me to be able to execute my
role effectively.
And that's having the ability to do things such as engage with my stakeholders, manage their interests versus
the client interests, helping them to understand their obligations and finding ways to work through problems
together.
Negotiation, communication all of those are skills that are critical to the success of any compliance role so in in
essence it's about having a balance between the technical skills and the soft skills that allow a compliance
officer to be successful.
But you also need to be the type of person who is very ethical and knows the difference between right or
wrong and is able to stand up for that and to make decisions that are right and good for the business and
aligned with the compliance expectations and not just lean heavily to be yes or doing whatever the business
wants you to do.
So you need to have a strong, sound background of ethics and integrity that you combine with your technical
and your soft skills that enable you to work with people and I think the combination of all of those are what
make for a successful and competent compliance analyst.

Tips/takeaway
So you see those are the skills and you've expressed a well-rounded approach it's not about highlighting only the soft skills,
or only the technical skills, you've spoken about your ethics and integrity which are key components or qualities for a
compliance role.
So you manage to capture all of that in your response, so really think about it and say, you know, what are the expectations
and you know, not only trying to pander to the crowd, but also what do you truly deep down believe is the right thing and
the skills and the qualities that a compliance analyst needs to be able to demonstrate in their role.
Q. Describe a time that you faced a challenge and how did you overcome it?
Reply: I was once tasked with the responsibility to complete the regulatory risk assessment
for the region and coordinate the compliance officers within the EMEA region.
The task was very challenging because at the time that this task needed to be done it met and conflicted
with
some of the deadlines of the country compliance officers who were having regulatory inspections.
The action that I took in terms of resolving this was scheduling specific time that was suitable for the country
compliance officers who had the challenge to make sure that they were available and if it had to be
after hours it had to be after hours but the goal was to get the work done.
And ultimately, by changing my schedule to accommodate the schedule of the country compliance officers
that had a challenge I was able to get the inputs that were required to get the risk assessment completed
and ultimately we were able to meet the deadline for the overall regional risk assessment with the
contribution of the necessary stakeholders.
It was a challenging time but I was willing and able luckily at the time to coordinate things to such an extent
that it managed multiple stakeholders competing um obligations and priorities and met the timelines that we
needed to achieve."
Edit required: Own example
Tips:
So this one is all about you having the ability to demonstrate your problem solving skills, how you take ownership of
solving that problem and then how you achieved a positive outcome. There's a technique called the star technique to
answer this questions.
"S" is for situation, describe the specific situation that you were in. It's not about talking about problem solving and taking
ownership in general we need a specific example.
"T" is for the task, what was the task that you had to achieve or do that was actually problematic,
"A" action that you took in order to achieve that task or address the issue in terms of the specific question, and how did
you choose,
how did you have a positive” R" result at the end of it. So as much as you can talk about the problem and what happened
and how bad the situation was don't forget to talk about the positive result that ended up happening. End the story on a
high note and just not a bad note.
So you see, it's really about this is the situation, this was the challenge these were the actions the specific actions that I
took and this is the result that was achieved. So it's basically an ability to tell the story and make sure that you're relaying
a positive outcome an actual situation related to your role and responsibilities that you were given and how you managed
to achieve that so it shows that I took responsibility for an important task, I noticed the problem and took
action to resolve the problem, and I achieved the desired outcome.
