A
Note from
the Author:
Dear Reader,
My name is
Vanessa, and I am the author of the guide, "Get That 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!
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 application, 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 8 years
as a
professional recruiter, sit on selection panels across
Australia
every week for various government departments, and 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 what are the consequences if you don't do your homework,
or put in 100% effort? You could lose
the job to someone else, the better application writer, even if they
aren't the best one for the job.
This
is one of the most frustrating parts of being a government recruiter -
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. It
comes as a downloadable version which
means that you don't have to submit an order, or go to a bookshop. 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 the best with your job application, and I hope that the principles
that you learn will enable you to "get that job."
