One of the most frequently searched terms I’ve found is related to “Selection criteria examples” in fact the last time I checked it was 398 searches per day in Australia alone.

So I thought I’d write this post about Selection Criteria Examples and of course provide you with some, the below examples are taken from the University of New South Wales website and full credit is given to them..

Sample selection Criteria

• Counselling/Psychology Position
• Information Assistant
• Private Sector Position
• Public Sector Position
• University Position
• Local Council Engineering Position

Please do not plagiarise these examples, they are simply here as a guide to assist with better understanding your application process. Imagine if everyone copied these same examples…… wouldn’t fare to well with your potential employer would it?

So sticking to the same theme I also found a fantastic paper on the Southbank institute of Technology’s website.
