Assessment accommodation

When answering the screening questions you must provide concrete and detailed examples to clearly demonstrate how you meet the qualification. We can’t make any assumptions about your experience.

Instead, you must provide concrete and detailed examples that clearly explain WHERE, WHEN, and HOW you gained the experience. We’ll only use your résumé as a secondary source of information. The breadth and depth of experience may be considered during screening, assessment and/or selection of candidates. Failure to clearly demonstrate how you meet the essential criteria may result in the rejection of your application. Please note that written communication will also be assessed throughout the application process.
