Assessment accommodation

ONLY APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED ON-LINE USING THE 'APPLY ON-LINE' BUTTON ABOVE WILL BE CONSIDERED since in addition to the essential and asset education and experience criteria screening questions, the ability to communicate effectively in writing as all 3 competencies will also be evaluated at the time of application. Please ensure to plan 1-2 hours (if your resume is already written) to answer all the questions that are included in the online application process.

We are aware that there are a lot of questions to answer, but these will eliminate the need for a written exam and improve the overall selection process efficiency. If you answer all the questions for which you meet the requirements, you will significantly increase your chances in having an opportunity. Failure to answer the questions will result in your application being rejected.

TIPS FOR APPLICANTS: When answering the screening questions ensure that you provide complete and thorough details of your experience. Do not assume that the screening board has any previous knowledge of your background, qualifications, or work history. You must be specific and provide concrete examples/details for each Experience element, as applications will be screened only on the information provided. Failure to provide sufficient information may result in your application being screened out of the competition.
