Writing an application

What you write and how you address the selection criterion will determine whether or not you are interviewed.

Your application and resume should include:

• a brief covering letter stating the position and position number,
• a statement addressing the listed essential and desirable criteria,
• a resume detailing your relevant work and educational history,
• copies of any relevant qualifications (such as certificates and licences etc) - please do not send originals, and
• contact details for at least two work related referees (include names, position titles & telephone numbers).

The best way to set out your application is to make a heading for each selection criteria and then clearly describe how you meet them through your qualifications, knowledge, skills, abilities and relevant work experience.  These could be expressed by demonstrated examples.  Do not simply state that you meet the selection criterion.
