Often the most time-consuming and harrowing parts of job application writing is the process of
developing responses to selection criteria. Some resume writers even avoid applying for just where
a statement addressing selection criteria is required. However, employers use selection criteria to
compare applicants by the same measures. Key selection criteria for a job are usually spelled out in
a list of qualities, knowledge and skills needed for the job. In one way, this creates a more level
playing field for job application writers. Evens so, there are certain things you can do to make your
responses stand out.

3. 3P A G E
Job application writers take some time to consider each selection criteria and consider what
qualities and skills the prospective employer is looking for. Making a bullet point list can be a
helpful step.
NUMBER 1: STUDY THE SELECTION CRITERIA FIRST
Here are our top tips:

4. 4P A G E
Good job application writers ensure that they’ve researched the company for which they are
applying before they start their application. Find out what their core business is and their mission
statement. Use your networks to learn about their culture and the things that they value. Then
you will be able to weave this information into your selection criteria responses. This will make
you seem like a good fit for the company you are applying to.
NUMBER 2: UNDERSTAND YOUR PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER

5. 5P A G E
In your job application writing, don’t be vague. Rather than saying, “I worked in a team,” for
example, explain specifically what your role was within that team. Give examples of tasks your
completed, problems your resolved, action that you took and results that you achieved. A
selection criteria response is no place for rhetoric. You must be clear and specific.
NUMBER 3: GIVE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES

6. 6P A G E
Where you can, use hard data to back up your claims. It’s a powerful thing to be able to say, “I
achieved a 20% increase in sales,” or “I attracted 8 new clients to the company.” Also, if you’ve
ever received any awards, be sure to mention them. Employee of the Month is more than just a
token prize. This is a sure fire was for your job application to stand out.
NUMBER 4: SUBSTANTIATE YOUR CLAIMS

7. 7P A G E
Bullet points and short sentences are best! Time poor recruiters are looking for the key points in a
few words. Less is more when it comes to job applications.
NUMBER 5: KEEP THE LAYOUT SIMPLE
