Clients have come to us after wasting months (as well as opportunities) attempting to write their own selection criteria. The money and effort you put in is a worthwhile investment in your future.
Selection Criteria – More Information
- Describe a SITUATION you encountered at work
- The TASK you were allocated or presented with
- Explain the ACTION you took to achieve the task
- What was the RESULT or outcome of the action
Writing to the STAR format can be a challenging task. You are generally trying to use only one example that incorporates a range of skills that you have applied in the workplace. These responses have to be detailed and succinct and generally no more than 350 words. Once you learn how to master this format it does become easier. The work that is prepared by The Resume Whispererbecomes your own property and you can re-use examples or modify examples for future applications.
Capability Framework
Further to the STAR format, it is equally important to ensure that your questions contain the elements of the capability framework for that department. Capability Framework outlines skills and actions expected of a public servant. This varies depending on the APS level you are applying for. It is essential that your responses demonstrates your understanding of the framework. The questions might ask you to address the capability frameworks:
- Supports Strategic Direction
- Achieves Results
- Supports Productive Working Relationships
- Displays Personal Drive and Integrity
- Communicate with Influence
- Displays Technical Capability
Detailed descriptions of these frameworks can generally be found on the website of the department you are applying for. Each question will ask you to specifically incorporate one of the Frameworks and its elements. This is not easily achieved, by just incorporating even some aspects of the framework will greatly improve your overall interview score.
