Veterans Employment Program

Most NSW Government interviews use behavioural-based questions to assess how you have handled situations in the past. These questions are designed to understand your skills, decision-making and approach to challenges.

Prepare examples from your experience that demonstrate key capabilities, and structure your responses clearly using the STAR method. Strong preparation will help you respond confidently and stay focused during the interview.

Today, the Veterans Employment Program was pleased to speak at Wollongong City Council’s Deep Dive Leadership Series, supporting council leaders to better understand the unique skills veterans bring to the workforce, as well as some of the challenges veterans may face when transitioning to civilian employment.

Wollongong City Council is one of 38 local governments across NSW that have pledged their support for veteran employment through our program.
