Why is it important to address the selection criteria?
It is essential that you address the selection criteria as part of your application so the selection panel gains a thorough understanding of your experience in comparison to the key skills required for the position.
As an applicant, it is your responsibility to demonstrate how well you meet the selection criteria. If your application does not address the selection criteria, you may not be short-listed for an interview.
The selection panel is interested in your qualities and past experience in relation to each criteria. For each criteria, you should outline tasks you have performed, how they were performed, and the outcome.

What is the selection process?
The selection process includes reviewing all of the applicants, short-listing and interviewing. Short-listing for interviews will be determined by how well your application satisfies the selection criteria.
If you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted by telephone.
Generally, the interview panel consists of three people, with a structured set of questions to ask each applicant. These questions will be relevant to the position and based on the selection criteria.
Reference checks will be conducted following the interview process, where a member of the selection panel will contact the people you have specified in your application to verify information provided during the interview and also to gather further information relevant to the key skills.
Once the appointment of the selected candidate has been approved, the appointee will be notified verbally as soon as possible. This will be followed by a written letter of offer.
All unsuccessful applicants will be contacted in writing at the end of the recruitment process to advise them of the outcome.
