Success Story: Government & Public Sector
See how we helped an APS officer advance to executive level
APS Officer Promoted to Executive Level 1 in Federal Government
Michael had been an APS6 policy officer for 6 years but his EL1 applications were consistently unsuccessful. His selection criteria responses were too generic and didn't use the STAR method effectively.
We completely rewrote Michael's selection criteria using the STAR method with specific, measurable examples. We aligned his resume with the APS Integrated Leadership System capability framework. He was shortlisted for two EL1 positions and secured his preferred role with a $135,000 salary—a $25,000 increase.
"After years of unsuccessful EL1 applications, I finally understood what selection panels were looking for. The STAR method examples and capability framework alignment made all the difference."Read Full Success Story
