At the Clerk Grade 9/10 level, you are the bridge between operational teams and the Senior Executive Service (SES).
A Grade 9/10 interview requires a profound shift in perspective. Panels are no longer testing your ability to manage a project; they are testing your ability to manage reform. You must demonstrate high-level strategic vision, complex budget governance, and the ability to influence at the highest levels of government.
At PS Interview Coach, we specialise in the leap to senior management. As experts in NSW Government recruitment, we know exactly how to elevate your STAR examples from operational achievements to strategic, agency-wide impacts. We ensure you project the executive presence required to secure a Grade 9/10 role.
According to the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework, a Clerk Grade 9/10 employee operates across the Advanced and Highly Advanced capability levels. To succeed, your behavioural examples must demonstrate:
Showing you can champion the organizational vision, translate strategic direction into operational goals, and build a positive, high-performing culture.
Demonstrating your ability to drive significant organizational change, manage resistance, and ensure reforms are embedded successfully.
Articulating complex concepts clearly, negotiating with high-level stakeholders (SES, Ministers), and shaping public sector outcomes.
We rigorously audit and elevate your interview responses to ensure you hit the precise 'Highly Advanced' capability markers for senior roles.
Grade 9/10 candidates often fail by getting stuck in the operational weeds. We help you "zoom out" your STAR examples to focus on the strategic impact, the governance frameworks, and the broader agency benefits.
It's not just what you say; it's how you say it. We coach you on delivering your responses with the gravitas, conciseness, and confidence expected of a senior public sector leader.
At this level, problems rarely have simple solutions. We teach you how to articulate your decision-making process when dealing with conflicting priorities, ambiguous policy, and high-risk scenarios.

The most common mistake is focusing too heavily on operational details. At the 9/10 level, panels want to hear about strategic vision, change management, and how you influence executive stakeholders (Directors, SES, Ministers) to achieve long-term agency goals.
Depending on the specific role description, Grade 9/10 positions generally require a mix of 'Advanced' and 'Highly Advanced' capabilities. This means your answers must demonstrate broad organizational impact, complex budget or resource governance, and a high degree of emotional intelligence, not just team-level achievements.
Don't let a generic interview response cost you a senior executive promotion. Work with the hiring experts who know exactly how to calibrate your pitch for the Grade 9/10 level.
