When submitting an application to this selection process, you will be prompted to answer screening questions concerning the essential education and experience qualifications.
It is NOT sufficient to only state that the qualifications are met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities.

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. Candidates may not be solicited for incomplete or possible missing information.
Resumes may be used as a secondary source to validate the experience and education described in the screening questions.
Although the asset qualifications are not mandatory, they may be an important factor that will be considered for specific positions being staffed. Therefore, if you meet the asset education and experience, it is to your advantage to demonstrate this in your application as well.
