Preparation-only feedback

ACT helps candidates practice for the role they are applying for now. It is not recruitment assessment, selection prediction or a replacement for a real panel.

Start with the source material

Read the Position Description, Job Description or job ad before drafting answers. Mark duties, behaviours, outcomes and repeated words.

Build a practice map

Group the repeated themes into three to six areas. These themes become your practice map and help you decide which examples to prepare.

Choose evidence, not stories

The best example is not always the biggest project. It is the example that proves something relevant to the role with clear personal action and result.

Practice and review

Practice the examples out loud, review what was unclear and improve one thing at a time.
