Free Selection Criteria Advice

You can't get a job in the government because your brother-in-law recommended you, networking plays no part in getting government job.
Most of the vacancies aren't advertised in the paper or career websites like most normal jobs.
You can't send your resume in "just in case" an opportunity comes up, it will not be held on file or considered for future vacancies.
Your application will take you at least three times as long as a normal application, if not longer.
The interview will be infront of a panel, who again will question you against the selection criteria.
The best person doesn't always get the job, often the best application writer will get the job.

The most important thing you can do is pay attention to the selection documentation and write the best possible statements addressing selection criteria that you can!
