Selection criteria
NRSDC develops selection criteria for all positions that are advertised. The selection criteria identify the core experience, skills, knowledge and/or qualifications that applicants must have in order to perform the position. Applicants are rated against the selection criteria.
Please note that you MUST respond to each of the essential selection criteria.
If your application does not address each of the selection criteria, you are unlikely to be short-listed for interview. Your application is the first point of contact between yourself and the selection panel so this is your opportunity to convince the selection panel that you are worth interviewing.
Your response to the selection criteria should clearly show how you meet each criterion. In summary, you should:
* provide complete information for each of the selection criteria (where possible, give specific examples to demonstrate your ability and results achieved);
* be concise; and avoid ‘padding’ your application with irrelevant information.
* Understanding selection criteria
* The wording used in the selection criteria describes the necessary level of knowledge, skill etc. required of a person to do the job. For example:
* ‘demonstrated’ means that you have actually performed the activity or used the skill in the past, rather than that you only have knowledge of or the potential to perform the activity;
* ‘knowledge of’ or ability to rapidly acquire knowledge of means that you already have the required knowledge or you can give examples of past situations which have required a rapid acquisition of relevant knowledge;
* ‘thorough’, ‘sound’ or ‘high level’ indicates that a more advanced level of knowledge or skill is required.
Submitting your application
Applications should be submitted electronically to NRSDC by due date and time outlined in the advertisement. If you do not have access to email, then please contact the NRSDC office on 02 6620 1800 and we will make alternative arrangements.

The interview
If you are granted an interview, you will have the opportunity to explain or clarify information provided in your application.
You will be asked a series of pre-determined questions based on the selection criteria. The interview will also be interactive and selection panel members will ask questions in addition to the pre-determined ones as they explore issues raised in your responses.
