Public Servant Promoted to Executive Level in Australian Government
How we helped Rebecca W. achieve their career goals
Meet Rebecca W., a dedicated professional who decided it was time for a bold career shift. Despite fervently applying for positions, they found themselves in the frustrating silence of rejection—no callbacks, no feedback.
The Challenge
Rebecca had been at the APS6 level for 5 years and wanted to move to Executive Level 1. Her application responses were too modest and didn't adequately demonstrate her leadership impact or policy development expertise. Government selection criteria require a specific approach that she was struggling with.
Our Solution
We worked with Rebecca to extract concrete examples of her policy achievements, stakeholder engagement, and team leadership. We crafted comprehensive selection criteria responses using the STAR method, emphasizing her strategic thinking, budget management, and change management experience.
The Result
Rebecca's application stood out among 87 candidates. She was shortlisted and successfully interviewed for an Executive Level 1 position in the Department of Infrastructure. Her new role came with a $35,000 salary increase and expanded responsibilities across multiple divisions.
"Writing government selection criteria is an art form, and All Résumé Services are masters at it. They helped me showcase my achievements in a way that resonated with the selection panel."
