I have excellent literacy and numeracy skills which will enable me to do (insert tasks for the job). From my previous jobs working as (previous job) at (organisation) and (previous job) at (organisation), I used these skills on a daily basis. Go on with more situations in how you used the skills.


This is a starting point - I am great at writing other people's applications just not my own. I find it helpful to find basic job descriptions on the govt job guide website, then you can cover all the tasks involved in previous, current and the job you are applying for (of course also you will use the description in the advert).

Hope this helps.
