Readers’ Feedback

“Just a bit of feedback for you. Your book is used in NT Government training for staff on Selection Panels and also for Chairperson for selection panels both of which I participated in last week. Coincidentally the job I am currently sitting in has just been advertised and I felt that your book would help me to write a better application. I will be passing it on to my staff. I am sure it will become a well used book in our work environment.”

“I am now applying for a senior position in State Government and have just read your book. I wanted to let you know that after reading your book, I now feel very confident of being able complete the selection criteria and new CV for the position I am applying for. I was dreading this task, but now have a spring in my step!”

“Your book helped me to define skills I didn't even realise I had and provided me with a structured approach, both in preparing the application and in preparation for the "dreaded" interview. I bought your book and it has been the best value for money I have ever had.”

“Thank you for writing this book. Before I read it I could not get an interview. Since using it I have won three interviews and three offers of a job.”

“I found the book useful as it is laid out logically and contains many practical examples and tips on how to address selection criteria and how to update my 7 year old CV!! I also like the three models you advocate to deal with selection criteria. Well done!!”

"Here is an exceptionally well written and useful book. It's a comprehensive guide to preparing competency-based applications which require meeting specified criteria in such employment sectors as Federal and State Governments, TAFE Colleges, Local Government, Hospitals, Academe and so on. Has high quality coaching content for conducting yourself at the interview, usually a selection panel set-up."

“We consider Write a Winning Job Application to be the best resource we have for assisting our clients with job applications. No other book offers such practical assistance in the whole job application process. I can thoroughly recommend it to job seekers and those assisting them.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for writing such a helpful book. I have been out of the work force for a long time raising five children and had no idea how the way to apply for a job had change. I have recently completed a degree at University and applied for a couple of government positions that I was really interested in. Unfortunately I was not successful and asked for feedback on why my applications were turned down. Apparently it was my application itself that let me down as I was unaware what to do with selection criteria and the like. Someone suggested your book and I borrowed it form the library. It is invaluable.”
