Method for Addressing Selection CriteriaTalk about your knowledge of the criteria (using school, work experience or any personal examples you think are appropriate) Give 1 or 2 examples of where you have utilised this skill, use the SAO technique. Situation: Where and when did you do it? Action: What did you do and how did you do it? Outcome: What was the result of your actions? Write a short conclusion for each criterion – remember to relate your conclusion back to your ability and aptitude to do the job. Don’t feel that you have to write a novel under each criterion. There is no rule around how much to write. If you can address the criterion in 2 to 3 paragraphs that is fine. |
