Let us take the pain out of writing selection criteria

If you’re looking at your application right now you’re probably thinking “what are they asking?” and “do I really have the time to put in my best effort?” If it’s your first time writing an application, you may well be wondering “exactly where do I start?”

We’ve helped hundreds of people secure roles in local, state, federal and not-for-profit organisations. We have worked with professionals at all levels from entry to executive level.

We are a team of expert writers all with government and recruitment experience. Between us we’ve shortlisted thousands of applications, sat on government interview panels, headed up the recruitment divisions of government bodies and assessed in government assessment centres.

We can help in four easy steps…

1) We review your resume and the criteria and assess whether you should be applying for the role
2) We give you guidance and questions to ask the panel or convener to help you understand the role
3) We interview you around each criteria to bring out your best examples, then we write the responses
4) We send you a copy to review, then we make final changes

You submit.

You are very much part of this process. We do not use “cookie-cutter” or standard examples. Each response to the criteria is uniquely yours.

You will receive…

  • Clear concise, well formatted selection criteria responses that directly answer the questions the selection panel are asking, and reflect your unique strengths and achievements
  • A resume that showcases your strengths and achievements and is aligned with the role
  • A clear introductory cover letter
  • An assessment of your best examples to present in interview
  • Insights into government selection processes and panel interviews
  • Knowledge of where your communication syle needs to improve
  • An expert helping hand to guide you through the selection process

Think of this as your investment in your new government career…
