Government Applications
We specialize in government Selection Criteria (state and federal). Having been the lead/Chair and member of multiple government selection panels I have the expertise and inside knowledge to professionally assist prospective government employees through the often complex selection process all the way through to interview. We have a proven high success rate.
When you apply for an advertised job, you will generally need to respond in writing to a set of formal statements. Employers may call these:
- job specifications
- person specifications
- selection criteria, or
- a combination of all of these.
You will also need to attach your response to your resume and letter of application.
Employers may need someone who has a specific set of skills, experience or attributes to do a job. They will list these as criteria or specifications. Some common examples include:
- able to communicate effectively
- good organisational skills
- proven ability to work as part of a team
- good customer service skills
- can follow instructions and show initiative.
Job and person specifications or selection criteria tell you what kind of person the employer needs. You can ask for a copy of these specifications or criteria from the employer by telephone or by email. You may also be able to download a copy from the organisation’s website. You need to demonstrate that you have what an employer is looking for. You can do this by responding to each of the employer’s specifications or criteria in your application.
Use these steps to prove you are the best person for the job:
- Step 1 - Read the job and person specifications carefully.
- Step 2 - Focus on key words.
- Step 3 - Use a model like S.A.O.
- Step 4 - Write clearly and correctly.
- Step 5 - Check your response length.
