Important messages

1. For this selection process, our intention is to communicate with applicants by e-mail for assessment purposes only (including issuing screening results, and sending invitations for written tests and interviews). Applicants who did not meet the criteria for the prescreening will be advised through e-mail.

2. Please DO NOT send a cover letter. These screening questions replace the cover letter. We will NOT review cover letters.

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 sub-questions.

4. Applicants who apply to this selection process must include in their application a valid e-mail address and make sure this address is functional at all times and accepts messages from unknown users.

5. If you do not fully complete the screening questions as instructed, you may be screened out.

6. You will be required to show how you demonstrate the essential and asset qualifications (i.e. Education, Experience and/or Occupational Certification) for the initial screening through online screening questions. Your resume will need to corroborate the information. It is NOT sufficient to simply state that the qualifications are met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. Through your screening question answers, you must clearly demonstrate HOW, WHEN, and WHERE the qualification was met through substantiation by examples. Failure to provide the above information in the format required may result in your application being rejected from the process.

7. Asset qualifications may be applied in this selection process.
