Selection Criteria
  • Understand what kind of criterion it is, and respond appropriately.  For example, is the criterion based on  knowledge, skills and abilities, experience, qualifications or work related qualities?  Each type of criterion will require a different type, and level of response.
  • Assume that all applicants are well qualified for the job and make your application the marketing document that describes:
    •    why your skills are the most relevant;
    •    why your experience is the most beneficial;
    •    why your understanding is the most developed; and
    •    why you have the best personal qualities for the position.
