You
have to exaggerate to sell yourself. |

Don’t
lie! People will check. There is a difference
between selling yourself, and exaggerating. |

Save
some of your big accomplishments for the
interview. You shouldn’t give it all away in your
application. |
|
You
might not even make it to the interview if you don’t tell the
panel important information in your application! |

You
should always include details of your marriage status and
children. This implies stability and maturity. |
|
Personal
information such as who you are
married to and the ages of your children is referred to as
“personal
information” and it is not relevant to your
application. It is illegal
to use marriage status as a discriminator between applicants. |

You
should use dot points rather than paragraphs. |
|
Your
claims should be narrative in content rather than just a list of
your skills. Dot (or bullet) points can be used where appropriate, but
should always contain a description of a skill, and not just the skill
on its own. In fact, in a recent study (see Selection
Criteria Secrets Revealed) it was found that none of the
applicants chosen for an interview used bullet points. |
