When submitting an application to this selection process, you will be prompted to answer screening questions. It is your responsibility to provide clear and concrete examples in your responses to each question. It is recommended that you describe the experience examples in specific terms, providing sufficient details so that the Assessment Board can clearly understand. Your CV/resume may be used to validate this information. Should you indicate in your response "please refer to CV/resume" your application may be rejected.
