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."

Nearly 300 pages of powerful information to ensure your next application is a winner. The guide covers 5 essential areas: 1. Learn about the government and how recruitment processes work: How is working for the government different to working for a "normal" company? Why are their recruitment processes so different? What can you expect at each stage of the government selection process? 2. Find a vacancy: There are over 3000 new government jobs advertised every week. Do you know where to find them? Learn where all the positions advertised for federal, state AND local government jobs, temporary and permanent. Didn't see it advertised in the paper or an internet job board? This guide will show you where it is! Don't miss out on that perfect job because you didn't see it advertised! 3. Cover letters, resumes and referees: You'll be given an easy to modify cover letter template, perfect for any application. Plus learn what kind of resume is expected - it's very different to what you might be used to. Could you be including the wrong 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. 4. Address key selection criteria: You will be lead step by step through the writing process for selection criteria, competencies and capability frameworks and will learn how easy it is to apply core principles to write against any selection criteria or competency, and to talk to the employer, in the employer's language, about what the employer wants. This book is a must have for anyone who has to address selection criteria or competencies as part of a job application. It provides ground breaking advice on what works, and what doesn't when writing selection criteria and applying for a government job. This guide has been written by an insider to educate you about what is really required, and how to master your statements against key selection criteria. It also includes:

I recommended your publication to two internal applicants and was astounded by the quality of the applications they submitted! We will be recommending it to others and would like to use your advice on our next internal application writing course. QLD Government Human Resources Department, (name withheld for privacy). I just wanted to drop a quick email to let you know that I got an interview after following your selection criteria writing advice. This was my 20th application - I wish I'd found your publication 19 applications ago. Thankyou and I will be recommending your books to others. Julie-anne, 2009 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! Pedro, Centrelink, 2009 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. Margaret S, Department of Justice, 2007 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.
