Application Form Review
A detailed review of your application form — including civil service competency-based forms — to make sure your answers secure an interview.
- Answers reviewed against the role's criteria and competencies
- Ideal for civil and public service application forms
- Detailed, practical suggestions to strengthen each answer
- Online meeting to discuss your experience and the role
Is your application form strong enough to secure an interview?
Are you:
- Unsure whether your answers address the criteria for the role?
- Concerned you’re not showcasing your skills and experience effectively?
Application forms — particularly civil and public service competency-based forms — are assessed against specific criteria. A strong form demonstrates, with evidence, exactly what the assessors are looking for.
How it works
- Send me your completed application form along with the job description.
- We meet online to discuss your experience and the role.
- I review your form in detail and suggest improvements to your answers.
- Your revisions are checked to ensure they align with the role and its competency requirements.
Civil service and public sector competitions
In civil and public service competitions, your written application is scored before anyone meets you — so each answer needs to demonstrate the named competency with specific evidence from your own experience, not general statements. That’s exactly what the review focuses on: matching your strongest examples to the criteria the assessors are marking against.
What does an application form review cost?
A detailed review is €150 at graduate level, €200 for experienced professionals and €250 for senior professionals — see the full price list. And once the form wins you the interview, interview coaching — including competency-based preparation and two mock interviews — gets you ready for the next stage.
Make your application count — make an inquiry.
