Assessment accommodation

When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.

❗❗𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘:
⇒ Your application in the Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS) will be active for 180 days. A notice that your application is about to expire will be posted to the my jobs menu of your account 30 days before the end of your active period. If you do not take action, your application will no longer be active and therefore no longer considered for this inventory. Should your application become inactive while the process is still open, a notice will be posted to your account indicating that your application has expired; you may select the link Update my Inventory Status to reaffirm your interest.

⇒ It is the responsibility of the candidate to clearly outline that they meet each of the screening criteria (i.e. 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀).

Failure to do so could result in the application being rejected from the process. Please see the following example of a screened out vs. screened in response.
