For more than three years I edited and produced Cricinfo's ground-breaking daily email newsletter, Cricinfo365, bringing cricket news and information to hundreds of thousands of email readers worldwide. Hundreds of items carrying my byline can be seen on Cricinfo from www.rickeyre.com/cricinfo

Department of Social Security

(Government Agency; Government Administration industry)

April 1978 — June 1998 (20 years 3 months)

Clerical, customer service, line management, training and staff development, financial information service, change management. Basically everything from the frontline to middle management, in a government department focused on delivering payments and services to pensioners, the unemployed, the sick, and to families with children.

In my latter days with the Department I specialised in the implementation and management of technological change. I took redundancy when DSS became part of a "super-agency" called Centrelink.
