When answering the screening questions must ensure that you provide complete and thorough details of your education and experience. Do not assume that the screening board has any previous knowledge of your background, qualifications, or work history. Please describe in detail using concrete examples, how you meet the education and experience required. It is not sufficient to only state that the requirement is met or to provide a listing of current responsibilities. Failure to provide sufficient and appropriate information may result in elimination from the process.

It is the responsibility of the candidate to clearly outline that they meet each of the screening criteria (i.e. Education, Experience Qualifications, both Essential and Assets if applicable) by responding to the screening questions in the online application. Please note that it is not sufficient to only state that the requirement is met or to provide a listing of current responsibilities, rather the candidate must provide concrete examples that clearly illustrate how they meet the requirement. Lack of examples and details may result in your application being rejected as the Assessment Board will have insufficient information to determine whether or not you meet the qualifications.

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.
