Addressing the Selection Criteria

Outline your skills and abilities that relate to the criterion you are addressing.

Do not simply address the criterion by saying that you possess the required skills but
highlight your skills, experiences and achievements. Describe how you utilise these
skills and provide examples.

Think broadly and diversely when addressing the criterion. For example: if the
criterion relates to an employer seeking a person with good communication skills,
think about the different forms of communication (in person, in writing, over the
telephone and communicating with persons from different ethnic
backgrounds/cultures, language barriers, non verbal communication skills etc).

Make sure that your response is clear, succinct and concise. Remember, there is no
need to impress by providing an overly complicated response that the employer will
have trouble interpreting.

Use positive action words.

Ensure that your response to each criterion is no longer than half a page.

Run a spell check on your computer before anyone sees your application.

Do a grammar review.
