Candidates must clearly demonstrate in the screening questionnaire how they meet the education and experience criteria listed in the essential qualifications and asset qualifications, if applicable.

Rather, you must provide concrete examples that clearly illustrate how you meet the requirements by respecting the maximum number of words provided for this purpose. With regards to the screening questions, you will have a maximum of 500 words. Please note that your responses to the screening questions may be validated at the time of references. Resume may be used as a secondary source to validate the qualifications described; comments such as "refer to my attached resume" will not be accepted and may result in your application being rejected. In your PSRS questionnaire responses, clarity, coherence, conciseness as well as appropriate attention to detail (spelling, grammar and relevance to the factor being substantiated) will be used to evaluate your ability to communicate effectively in writing.
