(Australia – Feb 2010)
If you do a Google search you will find many resume and selection criteria writers – all offering different services. The fees differ significantly, and vary according to what services are included (eg amount of personal consultation, number of drafts provided, level of specialisation of the job, turnaround time; and whether resume, cover letters, selection criteria and interview coaching are purchased at the same time).
You will find providers who advertise that they will provide a resume for $110. At the higher end, prices are advertised at $349 for Early Career, $549 for Mid Career and $749 for Executive resumes.
With selection criteria, it depends on the number of criteria and length of writing required (i.e is one page per criterion required? or two pages only to cover 5 criteria?). You should anticipate paying at a minimum of around $100 per page. However, with very specific technical or executive roles, which require a much greater time commitment and expertise of the writer, a quote of up to $2000 could be expected.
Would you invest $200 to $2000 to win that dream job? For many the answer is a clear YES.

If you are applying for a job in the Queensland Government, the selection criteria may look like the five below:
- Supports strategic direction or Shapes strategic thinking
- Achieves results
- Supports productive working relationships or Cultivates productive working relationships
- Displays personal drive and integrity or Exemplifies personal drive and integrity
- Communicates with influence
The Queensland Government has adopted a Capability and Leadership Framework (CLF) which is similar to the Australian Public Service Integrated Leadership System (ILS). This framework outlines the core capabilities and associated behaviours required of public servants at each classification and functional level within the Queensland Public Service.
The Individual Profiles which describe the capabilities and behavioural indicators required at the different levels are likely to be the most useful part of the CLF, if you are using it to apply for a job.
If you read the whole CLF document, you will find useful tools to support you in assessing your development needs for a public service career. IPAA Queensland has mapped all of its courses to the five capabilities of the CLF.
Queensland Government jobs and careers are advertised at SmartJobs.

I notice that a number of people come to this blog using one of the above search phrases. I assume this is because they are writing an application for a government job. These are the five leadership capabilities used by both the Queensland State Government and the Australian Public Service.
To find more information about these capabilities, you can visit the Integrated Leadership System (ILS) web page. You will find information about what behaviours are expected at EL1, EL2, SES1, SES2 and SES3 levels. Find the pages that discuss ‘behavioural indicators’ to get ideas on what experiences you have had to prove your demonstration of these five capabilities.
For example , for ‘Shapes Strategic Thinking’ - Can you provide an example of where you have established the strategic goals for a business unit? communicated the links between government policy, organisational goals and the work of a unit? built a shared sense of purpose and direction? focused on the future and pursued strategic alignment of action within a business unit? identified critical information gaps?……..
If you are applying for APS 1-6 roles there is a similar ILS publication. The capabilities are slightly different: Supports Strategic Direction, Achieves Results, Supports Productive Working Relationships, Displays Personal Drive and Integrity, and Communicates with Influence.
The Integrated Leadership System is an excellent tool to assist you to write your application, prepare for interview, and also to assess your learning and development needs.

Some unsuccessful candidates hear during post-selection feedback, that they have failed to show ‘leadership’.
Wikipedia states that:
‘Leadership is one of the most salient aspects of the organizational context. However, defining leadership has been challenging.’
To clarify what leadership means for their organisation, companies and government Agencies have developed Leadership Capability Frameworks. These frameworks identify the key capabilities, and associated behaviors that leaders need to demonstrate. The Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) has published an Integrated Leadership System (ILS) , which provides a common language for leadership development across the Australian Public Service.
This system identifies five key leadership capabilities –
Achieves Results
Cultivates Productive Working Relationships
Exemplifies Personal Drive and Integrity
Communicates with Influence.
These five capabilities form the basis of staff selection for many Australian government leadership jobs. The Queensland Government uses similar capabilities.
Understanding leadership capabilities and being able to describe how you have demonstrated these is very important for success in winning any government or private sector leadership role. Many people fail to impress when applying for leaderships roles because they do not show that they can shape strategic thinking. In addition, leadership candidates must demonstrate the ability to communicate with influence, not just to communicate.
