A
Note From the Author
Dear
potential government job applicant,
Once upon a time it was easy to write a government application.
You just had to attach an old resume to a brief cover letter
containing some rough notes about how you meet the position's
requirements (commonly known as selection criteria or core
capabilities).
But now more and more people want to get a government job which means
more competition and applications are becoming more
complex and more involved. I've been a government recruiter for years
and have seen the changes first hand, not to mention the high
quality applications that pass over my desk every day. No
more
can you just show that you meet the criteria, you have to show how and
why you are better than 50 other applicants, and that's before you even
get a shot at an interview!
Once you could put together an application in an hour or
two and follow the well known STAR, CAR or PAR rules for each
criterion (that is, write about a situation, your task, your action and
the result), this no longer cuts it. Not by far!
Government applications have become complex marketing documents with
some applicants (particularly internal applicants) spending days
on their applications and others paying professional writers to write
them for them. With all these changes and all this competition, how
does the "normal applicant" stand a chance? Where does that
leave
YOU?
Changes in the last two to three years prompted me to write a
series of guides for applicants who want to get a job or get promoted
in the public service, and who want their chances back. This
is
the third in the series and contains 101 examples of responses to
selection criteria. The first two guides have been selling
like
hotcakes (and are now even being used by Government departments in
their training sessions for panel members and applicants!). I've heard
loads of success stories, but still you're telling me that you want
more examples! You want to see how it's really done!
Some
of the examples in this guide have been donated by applicants and have
won them jobs and others have been written by professional writers, HR
experts, government recruiters and sales and marketing
professionals. I've drawn from a wide variety of professionals who know
how to write and how to sell. Which is your job as an
applicant -
to sell yourself in writing.
But isn't copying selection criteria from a book bad, I hear you
ask? The truth is, if you want to win a government job your
application
should highlight your own knowledge,
skills and abilities - not someone else's. But that is not
why I
have put together this guide. This guide has been compiled to
show you what good responses to selection criteria and core capability
statements should look like and
so that you can be inspired to write your own winning application.
You are free to use the ideas, concepts, style and format
contained in this guide, and then add your own examples of your skills
and experience for a winning application..
