Government job applications can feel complex, with structured responses, selection criteria, and capability frameworks that are often unfamiliar to many applicants.
Our goal is to simplify that process and give candidates the guidance, tools, and confidence they need to submit stronger applications.
At Team 3Thirty, we support applicants across every stage of the process. From application preparation and cover letter writing to selection criteria responses, interview preparation, and real application examples, our resources are designed to help you understand exactly what hiring panels are looking for. Whether you are applying for your first government role or aiming to strengthen your next application, we provide the templates, insights, and expert support to help you stand out.
Many applicants fail to directly address each selection criterion. Vague or generic answers don’t demonstrate capability or relevance to the role.
Without a clear structure like the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), responses become confusing and fail to showcase real achievements.
Using the same resume or cover letter for every role shows little effort and doesn’t align with the specific job requirements or agency expectations.
Applicants often describe duties instead of achievements. Hiring panels want measurable outcomes, not just responsibilities.
