selection criteria be if you could

No matter what kind of position you are applying for. No matter what level it is at.

These selection criteria examples have been selected from thousands of criteria written by recruitment experts, professional writers, marketing experts and people who have won real jobs.  

All of the examples in 'Selection Criteria Exposed' have been reviewed by government selection panels and judged as being the benchmark for what high performing selection criteria should look like.

Features Answers the most common advertised government selection criteria and core capabilities Includes the Australian Public Service's Capability Framework and Queensland Government's 5 core capabilities Use these examples as inspiration for your own application! Full examples, half to three quarters of a page each (the total book is 45,000 words / 120 A4 pages) Covers a range of competencies and is suitable for all occupations Applicable to all levels     Relevant and up to date  Guidance for personalising selection criteria for your own application

You find a job you are interested in, get all excited, look at the selection documentation and know you could do the job, already have a resume that you could send in, start writing the selection criteria ... and get stuck.

So many people begin like that.  They find the dream job, imagine themselves in the position, know they could do it, get excited about the promotion and higher salary package, have a resume already to go, get ready to write their selection criteria but can't start because they don't know how to go about it or don't finish because it all gets too hard. Maybe you cut and paste from an old application in the hopes that you can get it to fit into these new selection criteria. Maybe you talk to a friend and get some suggestions, or take a look at one of their old applications.  What ends up happening is that you waste so much time looking for the magic answer to your selection criteria woes, that you don't get anything written.

It doesn't have to be this way.
