Assessment accommodation

*ONLY ONLINE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED*

In order to have your application considered, you MUST answer the pre-screening questions. When answering the pre-screening questions, you must provide CONCRETE AND DETAILED EXAMPLES to clearly demonstrate how you meet the education and experience requirements listed in the essential qualifications section. The same procedure needs to be followed for the asset qualifications (education and experience) for which you meet. The screening board cannot make any assumptions about your experience. It is not sufficient to simply state that the qualification is "met" or to provide a list of current or past responsibilities. 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.
