Important messages

The organization will accept applications on-line only. All job applications must therefore be submitted through the Public Service Resourcing System.

How to Apply:

Applicants MUST clearly demonstrate, in the screening questions, how they meet each essential education and experience qualification. All essential qualifications must be met in order to be appointed to the position.

As asset qualifications may be applied at any stage of the process, applicants should provide detailed responses for each asset qualification they possess. Applicants must indicate "no" for each asset qualification that they do not possess. Responding “no” to one or more of these asset qualifications will not necessarily result in the rejection of an application. However, as indicated above, asset qualifications may be applied at any stage of the process, including the pre-screening stage.

To ensure accurate screening, applicants MUST provide concrete examples demonstrating how, where and when each qualification is met (i.e., outlining the breadth of experience, relevant timelines, level of responsibility, etc.). It is not sufficient to only state that the qualification is met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. Failure to provide sufficient information in the screening questions could result in your application being rejected.

Candidates may also, at any stage of the process, be ranked according to the depth and breadth of experience they possess (with respect to essential and/or asset experience qualifications). As such, only the top ranking candidates may be invited to the next phase of the process.
