Your Application

It’s important to remember that your application is the first source of information we have to assess your suitability for the role. Make sure it clearly and succinctly demonstrates why you’re the right person for the job.

Coverletter
Use your coverletter to briefly introduce yourself and address the ‘Knowledge, Education & Training’ requirements listed within the position description or advertisement.

Resume
Your resume should only include information relevant to the role for which you are applying.

Details that you should include are:

Basic Personal information; name, phone number, email and mailing/residential address.
Academic achievements and accomplishments; including the name of the institution, the qualification, dates, and a brief description of key projects you worked on.
Professional experience; including dates, names of employers; key projects and achievements, core duties and responsibilities.
Other Information; list any awards you’ve received, articles you’ve published, conferences or presentations you’ve given, and may include a list of referees.

Details not required: private personal information such as age, gender, date of birth, marital status and/or photographs. ACER is an equal opportunity employer and these details are not relevant in assessing the merit of your application.

Formatting
All applications must be made through our online system and should be in either Microsoft Word or PDF format. Avoid using symbols or long titles.

Our online system only allows a single file upload, so you may want to combine your cover letter and resume within a single file. Alternatively, you can type your coverletter into the space provided.
