Assessment accommodation

NOTE: The candidates MUST provide a cover letter. In this document, you must provide concrete and detailed examples to clearly demonstrate how you meet the education and experience requirements listed in the essential qualifications and asset qualifications sections. The screening board cannot make any assumptions about your experience. It is not sufficient to say that you have the required qualifications or to list your current duties. Candidate must use the wording of each education and experience criterion as a heading and then demonstrate that you have the required education and experience and ensure that clear and accurate details are provided. The curriculum vitae may be a secondary source to confirm the education and experience described in the cover letter. The cover letter and curriculum vitae will be used to assess ability to communicate in writing. APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE CANDIDATE MEETS THE ESSENTIAL SCREENING CRITERIA WILL NOT BE GIVEN FURTHER CONSIDERATION. Failing to respect the word limit for the cover letter could result in your application being rejected.
