Practical answers
Frequently asked questions
Find out how PRA scopes application support, works with your evidence and helps you prepare for public-sector and executive selection processes.
How do I get started?
Submit the enquiry form with the role, level, deadline and material you already have. Our Customer Support team will review the requirements and respond by email with a recommended next step.
Who will be writing my documents?
PRA works with professional Australian writers based around the country. The team includes practitioners with extensive public-sector application, recruitment, communication and selection-panel experience. Every writer completes PRA’s application-writing development and assessment process.
Do you support senior leaders and executives?
Yes. Dedicated services are available for EL1, EL2 and SES applications, as well as private-sector executive, board, advisory and cross-sector appointments.
Can you work with experience from my industry?
Our writers support a wide range of professions and sectors. The work begins with the role requirements and your own evidence so the application reflects your real experience rather than relying on generic industry wording.
Do you use the STAR model for selection criteria?
Yes. STAR is used as a practical evidence structure where it helps the panel follow the situation, task, actions and result. The emphasis and detail are adjusted to the criterion, word limit and level of the role.
Can you review a draft I wrote myself or with AI?
Yes. An application review assesses relevance, evidence, seniority, structure and consistency. AI can help draft words, but it cannot judge whether the evidence is accurate, sufficiently senior or persuasive to a selection panel.
What does a consultation involve?
The consultation helps the writer understand the role, your background and the strongest examples for the application. The format and expected length depend on the service and are confirmed when your engagement is scoped.
Why is pricing provided after an enquiry?
Application requirements vary widely by role, deadline, document type and the material already available. Reviewing those details first allows PRA to recommend and price the support you actually need.
Can you help me prepare for an interview?
Yes. Public-sector interview coaching covers role-aligned evidence mapping, realistic practice and specific feedback on relevance, structure, judgement and outcomes.
Can I request revisions to written documents?
Your service scope will explain the review and revision process that applies to your engagement. Raise any requested changes with your writer or Customer Support team within the stated review period.
Do you guarantee an interview or job offer?
No. PRA provides professional, personalised application support but cannot guarantee an interview or appointment. Outcomes also depend on the candidate’s experience, role fit, field of applicants and the selection process.
Do you offer workshops for organisations?
Yes. PRA delivers tailored career-development workshops for Australian public-sector agencies, universities, statutory authorities and related organisations, live online or in person by arrangement.
