Applying for a job as a public servant or within the public sector usually involves addressing key selection criteria in your job
application.
If the role requires you to demonstrate strong research and analytical skills, use examples from past jobs and e ven
university projects that required you to apply your research skills as well as a high degree of analysis.
Here's a sample response you can use as a guide.

Selection criteria example: Demonstrated analytical and research skills

At university, I successfully completed many research projects that required high-level

analytical skills, I also undertook special project work with Professor Cavendish that
required extensive literature research and analysis of organisational management
theories.

This special project was an opportunity to develop my quantitative research skills by

analysing statistical data. I also utilised my qualitative research skills by interviewing
proponents of different theories. I completed the research within the specified
timeframe and presented the results according to university standards.

My contribution was formally recognised by the faculty at a sociological seminar and I was
subsequently asked to co-author an academic paper with Professor Cavendish that was
accepted for publication in Organisational Monthly.
