How Did You Get Into an APS Job?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious about how people landed their roles in the Australian Public Service (APS). If you’re currently in an APS job or have been in the past, I’d love to hear about your journey!

What was your experience and background before joining the APS?

Where did you start, and where are you now in your career?

Do they focus heavily on qualifications, or is work experience just as important?

I’m trying to understand how people from different paths and industries have transitioned into the APS. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!
