Rather, you must provide concrete examples that clearly illustrate how you meet the requirement. Résumés may be used as a secondary source to validate the qualifications described; comments such as "refer to my attached résumé" will not be accepted and may result in your application being rejected.

Your communication skills may be assessed through your application and/or any other means of correspondence.

***************************
Please note that this process will be run alongside the PE-04 external advertised process (18-RCM-EA-N-N-NCR-CHRO/LD-79497). If you wish to be considered for both groups and levels you will need to apply to both processes. Candidates screened-in to both processes will only be required to do one exam and one interview for both processes.
