IMPORTANT MESSAGES REGARDING THE SCREENING QUESTIONS:

2. The screening of candidates will be conducted only on the basis of these screening questions. The resume you have attached with your initial application will be used only if the Assessment Board needs to validate the information provided in this questionnaire.
3. Each question is divided into two parts. The first part consists of a simple question requiring a YES or NO answer. If your answer is "yes", the second part will ask to fully demonstrate how you obtained this qualification by responding to some sub-questions.
4. Responses will not be considered satisfactory if you simply state that you have the required qualifications or provide a list of current or past responsibilities or paraphrase the qualifications.
5. It is in your best interest to demonstrate that you have as many of the asset qualifications as possible as these might be used to determine the "best fit" from among the qualified candidates.
