It did for Kathy Soltan … Hello I work for a public library in Melbourne and after reading Dawn Richards' great book, Selection Criteria Toolkit, which I borrowed from another library service, I suggested we get a copy for our libraries. I have just had a call from our bibliographic services department who say that book is now out of print, and they are unable to order it! Is this true? I hope not, as I found it invaluable in helping me get my 'dream' job just recently, and because Dawn is Australian, it was great to find an author who could relate to getting government/school jobs here in Australia, and not have to interpret from an American source. As I personally was so happy with the results I obtained from reading Dawn’s book, I want to share it with others who can't work out why they aren't even getting shortlisted for an interview! The only other book we have on selection criteria is by Anne Villiers and someone has ripped out 5 pages in the middle... Dawn’s book is comprehensive and much easier to read and understand. Can you please let me know what has happened or how we can order? Thank you! Kathy Soltan Good news Kathy - Selection Criteria Toolkit is still available through this website.

Australian Defence Force personnel face a double barrelled problem on leaving Defence. Leaving Defence can be like going to live in a foreign country with a different language, culture and business practices. Defence personnel use so much jargon in their everyday life that they forget how to speak in normal English. For example, not many people know that NDT stands for Non Destructive Testing of Aircraft. Personnel also have to convert their military background into civilian terms so instead of stating their position as 'WO2 Smith', they need to write 'Operations Manager' or similar depending on their particualr situation.  As if that's not enough - the next step is to answer selection criteria that's written in a totally different language that very few people can decipher. Take heart! Thousands have already made a successful transition and now hold top paying positions in the public and private sectors.

I had heard it was a tricky process with a lot of trappings for new players to be unsuccessful, so I decided to look for some help – and I found it! Dawn’s books were nothing short of a god-send. They took the guess-work out of applying for a Government role through each stage – from understanding the job description to successful interview techniques. In a weekend, I successfully completed 2 job applications with the help of these books for an A05 and A06 role. I got through to interview stage for both of them! Without this information, I don’t believe I would’ve had that huge success. I have recommended these books to numerous people I have since met, who are going through the same stress I did. They are a definitive guide for how to make a break into that Government job you want!” Thanks again Dawn. I will let you know how I get on with my new role.
