Demonstrate readiness for EL leadership
Moving from APS 6 to EL1, or from EL1 to EL2, requires more than expanding a list of duties. Your application should demonstrate how you operate through others, make decisions and contribute beyond your immediate workload.
Relevant evidence may include:
- leading people, programs or complex work;
- exercising judgement in ambiguous situations;
- influencing senior and cross-functional stakeholders;
- managing risk, priorities and competing demands;
- improving systems, policy or service delivery; and
- achieving outcomes with broader organisational impact.
One coherent leadership narrative
We align the resume, pitch statement, selection criteria and targeted questions around a consistent account of your leadership. Each document has a different purpose, but together they should show the panel why your experience is relevant and why you are ready for the level.
Prepare written and interview evidence together
The examples developed for the application can also support interview preparation. We help you refine likely behavioural examples, explain your judgement and communicate scope and outcomes without overloading the response with background detail.
Frequently asked questions
Can you help with an APS 6 to EL1 application?
Yes. We help identify evidence of leadership, judgement, influence and delivery that supports readiness for EL1 responsibilities.
What is different about an EL2 application?
EL2 applications generally require broader organisational influence, more complex stakeholder leadership and stronger evidence of strategic delivery and judgement.
Can you support the interview as well as the written application?
Yes. Written and interview support can be aligned so your examples form one credible leadership narrative.
