About this episode
Let's get something straight: selection criteria is not one of the fun things about the job search. If Sarah had her way, selection criteria responses would be banned permanently. However, if you’re applying for government or healthcare roles, it's a necessary evil, and if you want the job, it’s something you just have to do 😭
In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma break down how to craft a great selection criteria response. We go through the prep and background research that might help, the structure you should aim for, and we give you some great examples.
🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Andrea who shouted us 5 coffees! “Thank you so much for your podcast. About a month ago I was overwhelmed at the idea of re-entering the workforce after being self-employed for the last 16 years. Your interview advice really helped me nail the first and second interview and I have now been offered the position. It was my first interview in 16 years and I have no doubt I would not have done as well without your practical advice advice and insights. Plus, I had the confidence to negotiate a better salary. What you do really made a difference to how I felt going into the interview. Thank you so much and I wish you both every success. You deserve it!”
