"After two unsuccessful attempts at NSW government interviews, I worked with Chris on state capability framework alignment. His insights into what NSW panels actually assess transformed my approach. I secured an interview within weeks and received an offer for a Grade 9/10 position."

Frequently Asked Questions

I've only worked in federal government (APS). Can you help me transition to state?

Absolutely. Many of our clients successfully transition between government sectors. We excel at helping you translate your APS experience and ILS-based examples into the specific language of the state capability frameworks. The core competencies are similar—the terminology and emphasis differ.

Which state framework is the hardest to prepare for?

Each has unique challenges. NSW's is the most comprehensive, requiring broad example coverage. Queensland's LC4Q demands strategic efficiency due to strict page limits. Victoria's framework strongly emphasizes values integration. We prepare you for whichever state's specific requirements you face.

How far in advance should I book coaching?

Ideally, 2-3 weeks before your interview for our Excellence Package. However, we regularly accommodate urgent requests with 48-72 hours' notice through our Urgent Strategy package. More time allows for deeper, more comprehensive preparation.

Can you help with state government selection criteria as well?

Yes. We offer integrated services covering both written application development (Targeted Questions / Selection Criteria) and interview preparation. Many clients use both services to ensure consistency between their written claims and interview responses.
