Information on accommodation for persons with disabilities
Please note when submitting an application to this selection process, you
will be prompted to answer screening questions concerning the essential
education and experience qualifications and, if applicable, other
(nonessential) qualifications.
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 skills,
experience, etc. provided in the screening questions should be supported
by your resume. Failure to provide the above information in the format
required may result in your application being rejected from the process.
Resumes will be used as a secondary source to validate the experience
and education described in the screening questions.
INSTRUCTIONS
When recording your examples, be sure you:
• Provide concrete, specific examples of actions that speak directly to the
experience sought.
• Choose examples with sufficient complexity, impact and degree of
difficulty that will allow you to illustrate to what extent and depth you
have shown the behaviours expected for each qualification.
• Focus on what you did. In referring to an experience achieved in the
context of a team, set your role apart from the role(s) of others.
• Each example should include when the example took place, background
of each situation, what you did, how you did it, what your role was in the
situation, and what was the outcome.
All information must be provided through the “apply online” application process. Do not fax, mail, email or drop-off a hard copy application as
these will not be accepted. To apply in an alternate format due to
disability, you must contact the email address indicated in the "Contact
