The Council currently has the following position/s vacant:
Your application should be in three parts:
Make each part of your application as visually attractive as possible, no tiny fonts, lots of white space.
This should grab the reader's attention and make them want to read the rest of your application. Some of the things you could put in this letter are:

Your resume should include:
Your should make sure if you have an existing resume you are going to use, that it covers all the requirements of the position which are listed in the position description.

If either of these is included, make sure they are relevant to the position for which you are making application.
You could write a whole book on how to do this, in fact several have been written and you may decide to invest in one for future applications. Generally, it is a good idea to use each selection criteria as a heading followed by a dot-pointed list highlighting how you meet that specific criterion. Making a claim that you know something or have done something is inadequate. Take note of the keyword in the criteria - demonstrated is one which is frequently used and to address this you need to demonstrate how you meet the criteria. Show or show understanding suggests you should give examples of how you know what this criteria means.
Your whole application is an opportunity to sell yourself and convince the employer that you are the right person for the job. Presentation counts!Content counts!Honesty counts! Remember if you are not successful this time, perhaps it was not the right position for you, no matter how much you wanted the job. You can move on by examining your application for the improvements you can make for the next time.
