Overview

For Applicants

Do you struggle when it comes to:

• Understanding jobs in the public service?
• Writing a quality statement to selection criteria?
• Performing well at job interviews?
• Managing your career and the entire application cycle?
• Making sense of what you offer and 'selling' this to an employer?
• Fostering your wellbeing during job transitions?

If you do, you could be:

• Missing out on your dream job.
• Avoiding opportunities that could bring you more money and greater job satisfaction.
• Experiencing the embarrassment of missing out on a promotion.
• Sabotaging yourself at interview.
• Sinking in a quagmire of doubt, worry, confusion.

The good news is that you can approach job applications with clarity, confidence, coherence, conciseness and competence.

How?

• By learning the specific writing techniques that get your foot in the door.
• By building confidence and managing nerves so they don’t undermine your performance.
• By taking an ‘application cycle’ approach with ongoing preparation that saves you hours of stress when the application is due.
• By learning new speaking habits so that you can sell yourself at interview.
• By thinking more flexibly and speaking more confidently you can transform your applications and interview performance.
