Rating Veterans Service Representative with more than 14 years of experience completing, reviewing and implementing high quality rating decisions while serving in recent years as a mentor. As mentor and journey level Rating Veterans Service Representative, I apply laws, conduct research, and review regulations daily. I conduct an analysis of the evidence and use qualitative and quantitative techniques to assist others in completing quality decisions. Additionally, I perform independent reviews for trainees and provide feedback on quality to evaluate deficiencies throughout the claims process. I provide assistance and relay the rationale with citations to support discrepancies.
Moreover, I work with management and employees to identify deficiencies in performance and identify training needs. I also assess for trends for training by analyzing results and decisions. Reviewing for quality decisions plays a large role in my current job duties. I communicate orally and in writing the problem areas that are revealed. Similarly, I share with trainees and my coach the process required for improvement based on analysis of the rating decisions I review. Based on my years of experience, I also am proficient with identifying skill gaps and have taught training classes.
