Getting into public service work?
Hi all,
I'm looking at some new job options and I'd like to move from my job in the tertiary sector into the public service (state or federal goverment).
The problem I'm having is that I'm not getting interviews. I've applied for a few jobs which I have comparable skills in and sent in my resume and key selection criteria. I'm not even getting to the first stage, I just receive a thanks but no thanks email from a recruitment company with no recourse for feedback etc.
I've not had this problem with tertiary or the community sectors so I'm not sure whether it's simply loads of over qualified people applying or I am missing something. Does anyone know if there are any specific careers counsellors regarding the public service?
thanks,
Cate
