Key Selection Criteria : AUD $335
(up to Grade 8 only)

The language and wording for these applications (also known as keywords) must be spot on in order to be successful in gaining an interview. In general, there are 4 parts to your application:

• a cover sheet
• a covering letter
• a résumé
• a statement of claims against the selection criteria

When applying for a position that requires selection criteria, the most important document will be the selection criteria statement claim where you need to go into detail about your experience and knowledge. It is important that you answer these questions correctly if you want to move onto the next stage. At the beginning, the selection panel will be ticking off the areas that you have met and the areas you haven’t. They are not going to continually revise the document to see if you have answered all areas. If they feel that you haven’t answered any areas then unfortunately you will miss out on progressing to the next stage.

In order for us to write your selection criteria, we do require that you work collaboratively with us by supplying all relevant information to support your claim. As we are not familiar with your work history, part of this process will involve providing us with the selection criteria application so we can ask you a series of questions. If we require more information, we will then probe you for more information in order to expand, fine tune, and add keywords to the document. It is important that you invest time and effort into your answers as this will help us to demonstrate how you feel you meet each section of the selection criteria. Keraijen will only work with clients who are prepared to work collaboratively with us in this process, as we will not compromise ourselves - or you - by producing a second-rate document, which will in turn lead to you missing out on progressing to the next stage..
