EG: Selection criteria - experience - need A, B, C, desirable X, Y, Z.
- written skills - need to use MS Office - desirable P, Q
My letter: I have experience with A at this role as demonstrated by ..... . I meet B and C because ..... . While doing C I obtained experience of X and Z by doing ..... . Although in a different role, while I worked in private banking I needed to do something very similar to Y and now I will explain how it links in.
I am able to use MS Office and have used Word, Excel and PowerPoint in my recent roles (explain if needed). I am also able to use Access and Publisher. I have experience of P while working in healthcare using their in-house system for monitoring patients and Q has been used for data monitoring in schools where I have worked.
Most jobs will state if they want you to address KSC in which case I would do so by putting the KSC in bold and then answering the criteria by giving examples of what I have done that covers it if that makes sense. Will find a thread I started a while back which people had some great advice - in teaching there are 5-7 criteria and each is one page long so I had no idea - most people said 1 to 2 paragraphs is plenty.
