Good job applications make a positive impression and can lead to an interview or further assessment. Don’t apply just for the sake of it - a government job application addressing each selection criteria is a solid piece of work - and it takes time and commitment.

Select the right job for you and prepare a strong (and accurate) application highlighting your skills, abilities and experience, and how these meet the requirements of the job. Your application will be assessed on the basis of merit. It is important to provide all the information specified.

Use the STAR method for your application and interview: 

S Situation  Where and when did you do it?
T Task What was your role?
A Action What did you do and how did you do it?
R Result What did you achieve, or what was the end result?
