Selection process
Applying for a job can be a lengthy process, so be patient.
Be prepared for the interview by reading the material in the information package and learning the common selection and job criteria. You may also give examples of your work experience, skills and knowledge, ask questions and to talk about why you’re interested in the job.
Before an interview, familiarise yourself with Lands by visiting the website and reading annual reports and other publications.
After the closing date, all applications are forwarded to a convenor, who forms a selection committee which assesses each application and decides on interviews.
The committee will undertake:
- A referees check
- A criminal record check
- Qualifications check
When the selection committee has made its decision and the job is accepted, all other applicants will be notified. If you are unsuccessful, you can get feedback from the convenor about why your application was unsuccessful.
Remember: To work full-time in any NSW Government position you need to:
- Be an Australian citizen or have the status of permanent residence in Australia. If you do not fit this category, you are only eligible for appointment to temporary vacancies. More information on Australian citizenship or permanent residency is available on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website at www.immi.gov.au/
- Have your fitness to carry out the duties of the position confirmed by a health assessment. This is not concerned with disabilities that do not affect your work and may involve a declaration provided by you or a medical examination if considered necessary; and
- Provide proof of identity.
