The difference

Public sector applications punish the unprepared.

Without GovPrep
  • Spend the whole weekend rewriting STAR responses from scratch
  • Guess which examples actually hit the selection criteria
  • Copy-paste a generic cover letter and hope for the best
  • Walk into the panel under-prepared and second-guessing yourself
  • Miss capabilities you could have evidenced from your own career
With GovPrep
  • Upload the job pack and resume, get a first draft in minutes
  • Every STAR response mapped to the exact selection criteria
  • Tailored cover letter that references your strongest evidence
  • Talking points and gap analysis so you walk in confident
  • Interactive coaching draws out your strongest examples through guided questions
How it works

From job ad to interview-ready in four steps.

Step 1

Upload your documents

Drop in whatever you have: job ad, position description, candidate pack, selection criteria, your resume. Even a single document is enough to get started.

Step 2

Criteria extracted automatically

The platform pulls out each selection criterion and maps it to the right framework: APS, NSW, or the relevant state equivalent.

Step 3

Coached from your experience

Targeted questions draw out examples from your career. Your answers become a STAR draft that you review and correct before using.

Step 4

Rehearse and refine

Review your draft against what you actually did. Paid plans add talking points, cover letters and voice rehearsal so you can practise for the panel.

How Coach Me works

Your real experience, structured for every stage

Panels can tell when answers are rehearsed scripts. Coach Me draws out what actually happened in your career and structures it — for your written application and the panel itself.

What you provide

Can you describe a time you led a team through a significant change?

“Last year our section restructured from 3 teams to 5. I was asked to lead the transition for the two new teams while keeping BAU running.”

What specific actions did you take to manage resistance?

“I ran weekly drop-in sessions so people could raise concerns directly. I also paired experienced staff with newer team members.”

What was the outcome?

“Both teams were operating by the deadline, and we kept the existing service running during the transition.”

What you get
Situation

Our section underwent a major restructure, moving from three teams to five. I was responsible for standing up the two new teams while ensuring existing service delivery continued uninterrupted.

Task

My role was to lead the transition, manage staff concerns, and have both teams fully operational within the six-week timeline set by the Director.

Action

I ran weekly drop-in sessions where staff could raise concerns directly. I paired experienced officers with newer team members to transfer knowledge and maintain continuity. I also created a shared tracker so everyone could see progress against milestones.

Result

Both teams were operating by the deadline while existing service delivery continued through the transition.

Built for Australia

Generic interview tools don't speak public sector.

GovPrep knows the frameworks that Australian hiring panels actually use: the Integrated Leadership System, the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework, and their state equivalents. Merit-based selection, capability-based interviews, the difference between Intermediate and Adept. Your specific job pack remains the source of truth.
