FAQ

What is a "pitch" in a government job application?

The Australian Public Service Commission describes it as a short statement of how your skills, abilities and experience meet the job requirements — in a nutshell, why they should hire you. Agencies set a limit, often one or two pages or around 1,000 words.

What's the STAR model?

Situation, Task, Action, Result — a structure the APSC suggests for presenting evidence. Describe the context, your role, what you did and how, and what you achieved.

Will it write the pitch for me?

It assembles a structured draft from your own answers, then helps you sharpen it. Panels want honest, specific examples — the content has to be yours.

Does it work for state government jobs?

Yes. Paste the requirements or criteria from any job ad. The ILS capability prompts are specific to APS 1–6 roles.
