Expression of interest

abc.xyz

Is this for the Civil Service or another public sector body?

If CS, STAR is definitely the correct model to use

As it's public sector I would be very surprised if they don't publish the criteria for job applications, very likely some form of SMART, so I would use those as a guide to writing your expression of interest and also to answer questions in the interview if offered.

Came in to say this. Public Sector love SMART and you'll get a score for each one.

Actually as a civil servant the recommendation is STAR (Situation, Task, Action Response) or SOAR (Situation Opportunity Action Response), not SMART  - this is used for objectives when in the job.

Yes, apologies, I used SMART at a previous job, my only experience of STAR was in applying for a Civil Service job and I got the two confused.
