Important messages

All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.

Assessment accommodation

When submitting your application and answering the screening questions, remember that the assessment board cannot make assumptions about your experience. It is insufficient to say that you have the required qualifications or to list your current or past duties. Rather, in their submission, candidates must demonstrate how they meet the education and experience criteria listed in the job opportunity advertisement by providing clear and concrete examples. Clear and concrete examples are defined as illustrations in which you fully explain the actions, considerations and steps you completed in order to gain the experience you are describing. This detailed contextual information will be used by the board members reviewing your submission to assess whether you have sufficient experience in a relevant field to complete the tasks which will be assigned to you should you be considered for this position. This is similar to what would be expected of you when asked to provide a concrete example of a particular situation in the context of an interview. Such examples usually require a minimum of ½ page and a maximum of 2 pages to describe (Please note that the system allows a maximum of 4,000 characters in the answers to the screening questions). In order to facilitate this process, you may wish to start your submissions with a sentence similar to: "A clear and concrete example of a situation where I did X is a situation which occurred on Y date and my role in this activity was to...".

Resumes will be used as a secondary source of information and used strictly to validate the concrete examples you will have described in this tool.
