Public sector applications that get you in front of the hiring panel.
Senior roles in federal, provincial and municipal government, health authorities, universities and the not-for-profit sector are won on paper first. Your coach writes the executive resume, screening responses and leadership competency examples that show the panel you already operate at the level they're hiring for.
Wherever the panel rates you against set qualifications.
Executive (EX) group roles
EX-level applications through GC Jobs: an executive resume, responses to the essential qualifications and screening questions, and examples that show the Key Leadership Competencies the job poster asks for.
Assistant deputy minister, CAO, city manager and director
Senior roles in provincial ministries, agencies, cities and regional municipalities, from director and executive director to assistant deputy minister, chief administrative officer and city manager, written to the qualifications in the job posting.
Senior leadership appointments
Health authorities and hospitals, universities and colleges, foundations and not-for-profit organizations that ask for a statement of qualifications or written answers to specific questions.
Evidence the panel can rate.
A conversation first
Your Executive Transition Coach starts with a consultation to draw out the examples that best match the role. Nothing is written from a form.
The role, then the qualifications
We work from the job poster and the qualifications behind it, so every response answers what the panel is actually rating.
Examples at the right level
Each qualification is backed by a specific example of what you did, how you did it and the result, pitched at the scope and complexity of the role you're applying for.
Written to the job poster
Requirements vary by job poster, so we follow the format, length and instructions in yours exactly. An application that ignores the instructions can be screened out before its content is read.
One story across the application
Your narratives and your resume draw on the same evidence and the same story, so the panel sees one consistent candidate.
Ready for the interview
The examples we develop on paper become the stories you tell in the interview, so you walk in already prepared.
The documents the job poster asks for.
A resume that makes each essential qualification easy to find, showing the scope, results and leadership the job poster asks for.
Evidence-based examples for each Key Leadership Competency, or for each qualification in a provincial, municipal or not-for-profit job posting, in the format the job poster asks for.
Answers to any screening questions, written questions or statements of interest the job poster asks for.
Revised with you until it's right, and delivered in Word and PDF before the posting closes.
An executive resume, cover letter or interview coaching, built on the same evidence.
Before you get in touch.
What's the difference between screening questions and leadership competencies?
Screening questions check that you meet the essential qualifications, usually with a short example for each. The leadership competencies, such as the federal Key Leadership Competencies, show how you lead through specific examples, often assessed later in writing or at interview. Requirements vary by job poster, so we read yours closely and write to exactly what it asks for.
Can you write to a specific set of qualifications?
Yes. We write to the qualifications named in the job poster, whether they come from the federal public service, a provincial or municipal government, or an organization's own leadership competencies.
Do I need a new resume as well?
Not always. If your resume already supports your qualifications, we'll focus on the narratives. If it tells a different story, we'll recommend aligning it.
The closing date is soon. Can you help?
Tell us the closing date when you get in touch, and we'll tell you honestly whether we can meet it.
Can you help with the interview too?
Yes. Executive interview coaching can be added, delivered by video, and built on the examples in your application.
