Essential skills necessary to be a successful admissions representative.
I believe a professional in any industry, can generate a long list of what compliance means to them. Most people have a negative perception of anyone working in compliance. I have had people ask me what I do, once I make them aware I am a compliance manager. They either say I am the police or shake their finger at me like I've been bad or up to something that will disrupts everyone's day. It's so funny to image me as the sheriff in town.
People can assume you are an enforcer, with a type a personality and suffer from some level of obsessive-compulsive disorder. When actually our keen eye to detail can catch an error that could potentially cost the company: time, money or a reputation. We are the "t" crossers and the "i" dotters. We make sure that we minimize risk at every turn. I guess you can add heroes to that list as well.
Compliance can be broad but you definitely have to be able to read and comprehend contracts/agreements, be organized, a little meticulous, a team player and an effective communicator. What other things do you think is essential as it pertains to compliance?
