Delivered onsite or at our office, the Preparing Selection Criteria and Interview Coaching Course has been developed from years of experience in individually preparing selection criteria for clients. We are able to deliver a course that focuses on the needs of your organisation with examples derived from your position descriptions. Feedback from more than three thousand clients has formed the framework to this course. We have taken this feedback along with direct experience in the Government sector to develop a course that will enable participants to understand the Government recruitment process and maximise their chances of making it to interview.

This course is ideally suited to:

  • Government Employees
  • Supervisors and Managers
  • Human Resource Professionals
  • Employment Consultants
  • Jobsearch and Employment Agencies
  • Members of the public or those seeking entry to Governemnt employment

One of the key objectives of this course is to provide participants with the tools, information and skills to ensure their capacity to prepare selection criteria or perform at interview, does not impact on their ability to participate in a merit based assessment process. With that focus this course provides information and skills in relation to:

  • The selection process
  • Application Package
  • Submission of Materials
  • Presentation and Format
  • Examining Criteria
  • Writing to the Context of the Position
  • Preparing Selection Criteria
  • Use of Examples
  • Use of Capacity Statements
  • Supporting Information
  • Interview Coaching

Our approach and limited numbers in course delivery means that participants receive individual attention and feedback on their ability to grasp concepts and prepare criteria.

Interview Coaching

How will you be memorable?

The interview is an opportunity for the selection committee to test what you have written about yourself. Interview coaching will provide you with the tools and skills to perform effectively at interviews. This will include consideration of:

  • What key areas are the panel members looking for?
  • What do you have to offer?
  • Are there specific examples that you can provide?
  • What content knowledge can you demonstrate in the interview?
  • What impression will you leave with the panel?

The focus of interview coaching is to allow you to explore and practice which strategies will assist you in making an impression on the panel.

The coaching includes:

  • Preparing for Interview
  • What can you Expect - Interview Structure
  • First Impression
  • Things to Avoid
  • Managing your Performance
  • Interview Questions
  • Types of Interview
