If you’re looking to secure a public sector role, you’ll face one of the toughest job processes. 

Many potentially valuable candidates don’t succeed in their interviews because they’ve not got the interview skills they need to succeed. That is why you need government interview coaching services.

Using professional interview coaching, you can substantiate your value in any position you’re applying for, demonstrating your value to the hiring manager and team. Therefore, you have a higher chance of securing the dream position by edging out the other prospective hopefuls.

Public Service Interview Coaching: Your Path to Success

APS interview coaching is one of the best ways to prepare yourself for the challenge of demonstrating your worth to hiring managers through the interview stages. Our public service interview coaching has been tailor-made to help candidates demonstrate their value for government jobs.

You will be provided with the training necessary to highlight your skills and experience specifically as they relate to the capability and behaviour matrices that government departments use to determine who the best candidate for a role is. These capability matrices are what government hiring managers use in the recruitment process.

When your written application demonstrates a required level of suitability for a role you will qualify for an interview.  The next critical step is to provide verbal evidence that you possess the capabilities required in the role, by discussing your skills and experience. You need to practise and improve your interview skills, to be competitive in this stage of the process.

Overcome Interview Anxiety: Professional Interview Coaching for Government Roles

One of the biggest challenges interviewees have is a tendency to have anxiety about the interview, and this anxiety impacts interview performance significantly. Part of this is because they fear the strict adherence in the way interviews are conducted for government jobs.

Anxiety can cause a momentary lack of confidence, difficulty in articulating concepts, and forgetting important details. These can all affect performance in the interview and can be costly in the process.

While government job interviews can be scary, this is normally due to a lack of understanding and experience. When you have public sector interview coaching, your confidence in presenting your skills verbally will improve and as a result, your anxiety will subside. You’ll also learn preparation steps and practices to apply before and during the interview which will help you alleviate nervousness when the time arrives.

APS Government Interviews: Proven Strategies and Support

Our interview skills coaching is designed to help provide you with the tools and support to succeed in a job interview, whether you’re trying to secure an entry-level role or a senior executive position.

Based on APS interview coaching systems, the resources you gain will not only help you project confidence but also teach you how to structure answers for hiring managers and panel members to be able to see how you’re a good fit for the specific role you’re applying for.

Therefore, you will be seen as a better prospect, improving the chances of a job offer being made.

Tailor Your Answers: STAR Technique for Interview Success

One of the key features of our government interview coaching is the way that we help you structure your responses using the STAR technique, one of the fundamental principles used in government candidate selection.

The STAR technique is a simple, yet effective, way for you to be able to demonstrate skills, experience, and suitability for any post using past work or educational experience.

Learning the STAR technique can also help reduce worry and stress in interviews because it 

provides you with a tool that you can fall back on.

Build Confidence, Land the Job: Public Sector Interview Coaching

Public sector interview coaching is an excellent way to help you build confidence and improve interview performance. You will therefore be able to walk into any interview knowing that you have every chance of securing the roles that you want.

In addition, you can use these skills across any sector in the future. Helping you to progress in your career and improve your chances of a long and successful career, regardless of what work you want to excel in.

I booked the interview coaching with Ben and the results were amazing. I never realised how much passive language I was using when I spoke in interviews and it made sense that I wasn’t having luck after multiple interview rounds for EL2 positions. Applying the techniques and practicing your examples with feedback and recordings is a game changer. I’m so much more confident and I know that this is the missing factor in my interview preparation.

You think you know about the STAR framework but it's not until you go through your interview answers with a professional that you really understand what a winning STAR answer is. The coaching helped me tease out the details and evidence to make my interview answers much more convincing and much more targeted to the selection criteria area. I found the advice and materials very helpful as well in addressing other factors like nerves and how to introduce yourself. All around a solid investment!

Thanks to the PS Careers team I’ve now been successful in winning an interview for a role after 6 months of trying with no success. I thought my CV was not the problem but it turns out it needed a complete overhaul to focus on my achievements and experience relating to the role requirements. Highly recommend their services to anyone trying to troubleshoot why they are not getting interviews. Well worth the money.

I used another CV writing service and paid a lot of money for something that didn’t work. It took some convincing but I decided to give PS Careers a go and they have restored my faith in these types of services. These guys absolutely know what they are doing and it shows from the first conversation. My LinkedIn profile, cover letter and CV are absolutely amazing and the quality of the work is remarkable. I see now where my previous efforts had been well short of the mark.

I had a top experience with PS Careers, Athena was assigned to my CV and statement of claims document and from start to finish she did an excellent job and every commitment was met in full. I got selected for an interview on the first application after never getting this far before. For anyone wanting to find a government job, this service is a no-brainer!

The experience with Greg and Athena was great. I got coaching with Greg and after an hour he'd understood what I wanted, worked out the gaps and put me on the right path. I created an actionable plan that I put in place immediately. The CV and cover letters were exceptional and Athena went well above and beyond to get these just right. I’m now on the right path with my career and I’m on track to secure that next position!

As a Tech Project Manager, I never had a problem getting a job before but I quickly realised the approach you need to get into State Government is completely different. I had almost given up hope when a friend recommended I contact PSCareers. Their writers really know what they are doing and I was given a selection criteria response that won me an interview at Vic Gov.
