HOW TO ANSWER SCREENING QUESTIONS

When submitting an application to this selection process, you will be prompted to answer screening questions concerning the essential education, and the essential and asset experience qualifications. Your responses to these questions will be used as a primary source of information and your resume may only be used to validate this information. Failing to do so could result in your application being rejected.

• Provide responses in sentence format.
• Each response must include concrete, specific examples that speak directly to the experience sought.
• Each example must include WHEN and WHERE the example took place, background of each situation, WHAT you did, HOW you did it, what your role was in the situation, and what was the outcome.
• Focus on what you did. In referring to an experience achieved in the context of a team, set your role apart from the role(s) of others.
• Simply listing your job duties, or indicating 'refer to resume', is not sufficient.
