Whether by design of accident of history, the Public Service is a byzantine world with its own language, conventions and rules. It’s a world where interview performance – and saying the right words (literally) in an application and interview can be the difference between getting the job and being ranked unsuitable – regardless of your qualifications.
If you have never worked in Government before, it can all seem pretty strange. Whether you are looking for an entry-level grad role or a later career change, you need to understand how to translate your knowledge and skills to this unique context.
Our courses and coaching are designed to help you bridge this gap with clarity, understanding and confidence. You could waste months guessing at what to do – or you could get the precise guidance you need from experts who can see the whole matrix and take you through it step-by-step. That’s our jam.

Nobody entering Government has all the skills they need. We can advise you on how to pitch your interviewers/managers on backfilling those skills on-the-job or in sponsored training.
No two coaching sessions are the same. We start with an assessment of your goals, career context, strengths and weaknesses. Building from there, candidates receive a personalised career roadmap to follow, informed by the most experienced and qualified coaches in the game.

The good news is that our method has taken thousands of candidates from ‘confused and frustrated’ to ‘confident and in charge’ in just a few hours, with clear, accessible content from Australia’s leading sector experts – former PS executives and HR leaders all.

You’ve found your dream job – now it’s time to go out and get it.
Don’t let your unfamiliarity with the Government Application requirements stop you from getting past the first hurdle. While ‘procedural fairness’ requirements exist to create a level playing field, in practice incumbent Government employees always perform better, simply because they understand the conventions and speak the language of hirers. It’s their world.
Fortunately for you, it’s also our world. Our expert writes and coaches will take care of your application for you, ensuring you submit a CV and KSC responses that are targeted to the specific role you want. Moreover, you will work with an expert to learn how to adapt your own skills and experience to the Government interview context and ensure your application can’t be ignored.
