Selection Criteria Secrets from a Government Recruiter
As a professional government recruiter who sits on selection panels every week, I have written The Selection Criteria Coach, to help you quickly and easily write the best possible selection criteria that you can without spending hours stressing over your application or having to pay someone else to do it for you.
I've assessed over 15,000 statements against selection criteria and I know what works and what doesn't work and I know that it really isn't that hard to write convincing selection criteria that can win you the position you want, and I am going to show you how.
I've been in your shoes. I know what it's like to spend hours trying to write selection criteria. The guide The Selection Criteria Coach is not only based on my own personal experience as an applicant and on selection panels, but I've also interviewed hundreds of selection panels in the major government departments across Australia about their opinions of the best selection criteria to provide you with the most specific and relevant information possible - straight from the other side of the table, to you!
If you are content to spend hours putting together your own selection criteria that will look just like every body else's please don't read on. This guide is only for those who are serious about putting together exceptional responses to selection criteria that will get them an interview.
