An effective approach would be to write one or two paragraphs with specific examples on how you meet the required experience. Failing to do so will result in your application being rejected. The resume may constitute a secondary source to validate the experience factors described in the screening questions. Applicants WILL NOT be solicited for incomplete or possible missing information.
