A Note From the Author
Dear Reader,

My name is
Vanessa, and I am the author of the guide, "Get That Job!".
If you're in a situation like I was when I applied for my
first
government
job, then you're probably just realising how time consuming
and energy draining writing a government job application can be -
especially when it comes to addressing selection criteria!
I quickly realised that if I wanted to get the job of my dreams I was
going to have to put some serious effort into my application. I
dedicated 6 hours to my application, and I got my job, which ironically
was
in government recruitment. I was lucky though. When
job advertisements attract
an average of 40-50 applications, you only have a 2% to 3%
chance of winning a job that you apply for. But,
what if I could
dramatically improve your chances?
I have spent 8 years
as a
professional recruiter, sit on selection panels across
Australia
every week for various government departments, and know what
applicants do right, and what they do wrong - most of the time without
realising it. Most
applicants spend twice as much time as they should on their
applications, and end up with something that's only half the quality
that it could be. In fact, if you've already started writing
your statements against selection criteria you probably already know
how much time and frustration you've wasted just trying to get started.
And what are the consequences if you don't do your homework,
or put in 100% effort? You could lose
the job to someone else, the better application writer, even if they
aren't the best one for the job.
This
is one of the most frustrating parts of being a government recruiter -
seeing great applicants with fantastic potential waste their chances.
Even more frustrating is knowing that it's really not that
hard to write a great application!
You don't have to labour for hours on your application, not like I did.
You can write an application that will knock the panel's
socks
off, in half the time you thought it would take. How?
I've
written down a strategy, and created a plan for you. In
this guide, I've come up with a formula that can
lead you in five easy steps, from a blank page, to winning statements
against the selection criteria, filled with powerful examples of the
skills that you take for granted. It
comes as a downloadable version which
means that you don't have to submit an order, or go to a bookshop. You
can purchase the guide instantly online and be using it in a few
minutes. As we all know, applications have deadlines and
sometimes when you need help, you need help straight away!
But you need more than great selection criteria to win a job.
There are cover letters, resumes, interviews and reference
checks. Not to mention finding the job in the first place,
and
trying to make sense of the confusing world of government employment.
I've covered it all in this guide, and update it every year
to
stay on top of changes. And, it's a risk free purchase
- if you're not happy with your purchase tell us within 30 days, we'll
give you your money back, and
you get to keep the guide, no questions asked.
All the best with your job application, and I hope that the principles
that you learn will enable you to "get that job."

powerful
information to ensure your
next application is a winner.
The guide covers 5 essential
areas:
1.
Learn about the
government and how recruitment processes work:
How
is working for the government different to
working for a "normal" company?
Why
are their recruitment processes
so different?
What
can you expect at each
stage of the government selection process?
2.
Find a
vacancy:
There are over 3000 new government jobs
advertised every week. Do you know where to find them?
Learn where all the positions
advertised
for
federal, state AND local
government jobs, temporary and permanent. Didn't see it advertised in
the paper or an internet
job board? This guide will show you where it is!
Don't miss
out on that perfect job because
you didn't see it advertised!
3.
Cover letters, resumes and referees:
You'll
be given an easy to modify cover letter template, perfect for
any application.
Plus learn what kind
of resume is expected - it's very different to what you might be
used to. Could you be including the wrong
information in your resume without knowing it? Or are you
spending
too long on your resume when there are other areas of your application
that you should be focusing on?
Also, find out how to help your referees to help you. You can
actually influence your reference checks more than you think.
4.

key selection criteria:
You will be lead step by

Testimonials
I
purchased this book for my son, who had applied for a
few APS positions but had not been successful. After following advice
from this
book, especially regarding interview preparation, he was successful in
the next
position he applied for. I have been employed myself in the APS for
well over a
decade, in various departments, & I have recommended this book
to a number
of people as a great guide.

I've
worked for the Victorian State Government for 10 years and thought I
knew it all ... and then I found this website! I'm amazed at
how
many of my assumptions were wrong, and how much I didn't know at all.

I think your products are
wonderful and
I will be recommending them to all of my friends who work for the
government. They should be compulsory reading!
