Consultancy Services
Would you like some personalised and confidential help in preparing your job application? I offer a one-to-one service assistance with applications. This can be done face-to-face if you live in Perth or by using email. This assistance comes in several forms.
1. Reviewing your application by email.
You write your “Response to the Selection Criteria” and email it to me to review. I will critically analyse it, and using a colour code will indicate:
- if your response is targeted on the criterion and duty statement,
- where you have wandered off track,
- where you need more information,
- any information that is irrelevant and could be deleted,
- whether you are “demonstrating” your skill or just claiming it,
- what you need to do to improve it.
To do this I need the Duty Statement as well as your Response to the selection criteria. The turn around time is usually only a day or two.
My fee is $60 for a once-off review for an application of no more that 8 pages. Additional pages are charged at $5 per page.
Follow-up reviewing, if required, is charged by the time taken. If you want this it is quicker if you indicate your changes from the original document in blue. Payment can be made by credit card but a fee of $3 is charged, or you can make a Electronic Funds Transfer into my account and email me the receipt. I will supply you with my bank and account details.
2. Face-to-face assistance in preparing your Response.
This is the most efficient way of getting assistance as it often saves a lot of rewriting. The aim is to get you a high standard response and application.
Make an appointment to see me at my City Beach office/home by phoning 9385 8174. Bring your Duty Statement and Selection Criteria and Resume.
We go through each of the criteria and discuss:
- What the criteria mean and how they relate to the duty statement
- How to respond to each criteria
- The best examples to offer in your response
- How to format your response
I will go through your Resume at this session and explain how to improve it if necessary. This session takes approximately 90 minutes
You then go home and write your Responses, emailing them to me as you write them and I will edit and give the same information as in the Review above. I will coach you through the whole application until we are both satisfied that your response is as good as it can be.
My fee for this is $110 for jobs level 1-4 and $120 for L 5-8 and $130 for higher positions, paid at our initial meeting.
3. Interview preparation and rehearsal.
I can assist you with interview preparation and a mock interview.
When an appointment is made I email you a file to read and general questions to prepare. I then use the Duty Statement and Selection Criteria to prepare a number of questions a panel might ask and email them to you 2-3 days before seeing me so your answers can be prepared.
Our session together takes 90 minutes and we go through preparation for the interview and how to present yourself positively. I ask general and hypothetical questions then your special questions and give you feedback on your answers.
We discuss the questions you might ask at the interview and prepare a final statement.
This will give you much more confidence. Make the appointment 4-7 days before the interview by phone on 9385 8174 My fee for this is $110 for L1- 6 positions and $120 for higher positions, paid on the day.
If you cannot attend an interview preparation session I can prepare the questions for you and email them to you along with the Interview Preparation file as above. The fee for this is $40.
For any further information please ring (08) 9385 8174 or email: lloydwhite@iinet.net.au
I do NOT provide the service of fully writing a response to the selection criteria for my clients. My role is to coach and assist my clients with advice, suggestions, editing and developing their application until I am satisfied that the application is of the best possible standard. The process requires that the applicant provides real examples of past uses of the required skill, knowledge or experience and only the applicant can provide those examples. For someone to create or imagine these examples is false and unethical.
