Important messages

Please read this advertisement carefully in order to ensure you provide all the required information. You will be required to explain how you meet the essential education and experience, as well as the asset education and experience for the initial screening by answering online screening questions. It is not sufficient to only state that the qualifications are met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. Rather you must clearly demonstrate HOW, WHEN, and WHERE the qualification was met through substantiation by examples. Information on your described experience, etc. provided in screening questions should be supported by your resume which may be used as a secondary source to validate the information provided. It is your responsibility to provide appropriate examples that illustrate how you meet each qualification. Failing to do so could result in your application being rejected.

Applicants must meet ALL essential qualifications but DO NOT need to meet all factors listed under “Asset Qualifications” to be eligible for consideration. However, depending on the requirements of the position or positions to be staffed, “Asset Qualifications” may be a deciding factor in selecting the candidate with the right profile for a position. Any of the other qualifications, operational requirements, and organizational needs MAY BE CONSIDERED at any time during this process. Therefore, IT IS IMPORTANT that you answer each of the questions related to the requirements.
