Career Profiles - Government Jobs
There are three levels of Government in Australia that offer full time, part time and contract employment opportunities. Entry is often based on a detailed “Job Description” and “Selection Criteria”. In some cases, you will need to be an Australian Citizen or maybe a Permanent Resident to be entitled to apply for these jobs.
To apply for any Government job, you will need to read all the documents provided by the employer. You will need to carefully write an application letter that responds to each Selection Criteria. A basic cover letter will not be suitable. You must answer all questions with a clear and suitable response and have the application lodged by the closing date.
If you need further information, it is important to speak to the contact listed in the Job Advertisement. This contact will often keep a record of your name to cross check when they decide who will be interviewed. So make the call and chat about the job.
Finally, get yourself two referees. Many Local Government bodies will want to speak to the referees before going into a face to face interview. So have two referees ready on your Resume or Application Letter.
