Write
Selection Criteria
In
Half the Time
With
Half the Effort!
Dear Reader,
My
name is
Vanessa, and I am the author of the guide, "Get That Job! The Best
Guide to Applying for a Government Job".
If you're in a situation like I was when I applied for my
first
government
job, then you're probably just realising how time consuming
and energy draining writing a government job application can be -
especially when it comes to addressing selection criteria and core
capabilities!
I quickly realised that if I wanted to get the job of my dreams I was
going to have to put some serious effort into my application. I
dedicated 6 hours to my selection criteria, and I got my job, which
ironically
was
in government recruitment. I was lucky though. When
job advertisements attract
an average of 40-50 applications, you only have a 2% to 3%
chance of winning a job that you apply for. But,
what if I could
dramatically improve your chances?
I
have spent over 10 years
as a
professional recruiter, I sit on selection panels across
Australia
every week for various government departments, and I know what
applicants do right, and what they do wrong - most of the time without
realising it. Most
applicants spend twice as much time as they should on their
applications, and end up with something that's only half the quality
that it could be. In fact, if you've already started writing
your statements against selection criteria you probably already know
how much time and frustration you've wasted just trying to get started.
And if you don' t do it right, you could lose
the job to someone else, the better application writer, even if they
aren't the best one for the job.
I
am sick and tired of seeing
great applicants with fantastic potential waste their chances.
Even more frustrating is knowing that it's really not that
hard to write a great application!
You don't have to labour for hours on your application, not like I did.
You can write an application that will knock the panel's
socks
off, in half the time you thought it would take. How?
I've
written down a strategy, and created a plan for you. In
this guide, I've come up with a formula that can
lead you in five easy steps, from a blank page, to winning statements
against the selection criteria, filled with powerful examples of the
skills that you take for granted. The guide
comes as a downloadable version which
means you
can purchase the guide instantly online and be using it in a few
minutes. As we all know, applications have deadlines and
sometimes when you need help, you need help straight away!
But you need more than great selection criteria to win a job.
There are cover letters, resumes, interviews and reference
checks. Not to mention finding the job in the first place,
and
trying to make sense of the confusing world of government employment.
I've covered it all in this guide, and update it every year
to
stay on top of changes. All of our products come with a 30
day
money back guarantee, so if it doesn't help you, you haven't wasted
anything.
All the best with your job application, and I hope that the principles
that you learn will enable you to "get that job."

essential

government and how recruitment processes work:
How
is working for the government different to
working for a "normal" company?

2.
Find a

There are
over 3000 new government jobs
advertised every week. Do you know where to find them?

of resume is expected - it's very different to what you might be

information in your resume without knowing it? Or are you
spending
too long on your resume when there are other areas of your application
that you should be focusing on?
Also, find out how to help your referees to help you. You can
actually influence your reference checks more than you think.

After
reading this book I found a job, applied for it (which this book made
quick and easy), had an interview and got the job! If I
hadn't
stumbled across your website I'm sure I'd still be in my boring old job.Thank
you!

I've
worked for the Victorian State Government for 10 years and thought I
knew it all ... and then I found this website! I'm amazed at
how
many of my assumptions were wrong, and how much I didn't know at all.

I
purchased this book for my son, who had applied for a
few APS positions but had not been successful. After following advice
from this
book, especially regarding interview preparation, he was successful in
the next
position he applied for. I have been employed myself in the APS for
well over a
decade, in various departments, & I have recommended this book
to a number
of people as a great guide.
