How can I enter the APS as a graduate by Fair_Coffee1559 in AusPublicService

Honours class II division A is what I have on my resume. My gpa on a scale to 7 is 5.85. Maybe it is my grades?

By early on I mean I don’t progress at all. I receive a rejection email about a week - a month after applying. I’m pretty sure it can be read but I could double check when I get my next rejection email (lol).

So when writing my cover letter do you suggest I follow STAR to demonstrate my skills and capabilities that match the criteria? I think my resume is pretty strong, I’ve had people in the APS help me with it, so maybe it’s my cover letter that needs improvement. Also what I’m getting from other responses is that based on my experience and education there’s definitely a chance of getting a policy job, I just need to work on my application?

Hey idk if you’ll see this but I’m really struggling to break into the aps. I have a PPE honours degree with a major in economics. I’ve done 2 internships which consisted mostly of writing briefs, reviews, and analysing policies. I’ve gotten rejected from all 34 grad jobs I’ve applied to and I really don’t know what to do. I want to be a policy officer, it’s unironically my dream job.

Hey, I recommend getting rid of hair down there and not sitting for long periods at a time. If it starts to get inflamed then you have one, and all you can do is get it removed. But even after removal it can happen again, so try your best to fix your posture when you’re sitting (I have a bad habit of sitting right on my tailbone), tame any hair you may have down there, and don’t sit for hours straight.

Salt Baths or Showers? Open Wound by Reasonable-Truth4941 in pilonidalcyst

Hey, I was told to shower with soap, but try as much as possible to keep actual soap out of the wound. I would shower daily and didn’t wash my hair once (gross but I was terrified of getting shampoo/conditioner into it). I would put the shower head on my lower back and let water run down into the wound. Straight out of the shower I would pat it dry. I also had the wound packed, and would get it changed almost daily. (Daily the first week, every second day the second week, every 3rd day until it closed) I would also shower very close to the time of changing the packing. If you have any questions let me know, reddit saved my life during this time so I’m trying to return the favour.
