- You’ll be accustomed to the pressures that come with a high workload and the need to prioritise and manage your time effectively, and your written and verbal communication skills, paired with your attention to detail, are second to none.
- Relationships are important in this environment and your advanced communication and interpersonal skills will set you apart, communicating with influence, building the confidence of the Minister, your wider team, coalition partners, and key stakeholders in the Ministers’ portfolios.
