Important messages

We are committed to providing an inclusive and barrier-free work environment, starting with the hiring process. If you need to be accommodated during any phase of the evaluation process, please use the Contact information below to request specialized accommodation. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.

Assessment accommodation

❗ Applicants must clearly demonstrate in their responses to the screening questions how they meet the “essential qualifications” (education AND experience). The answers provided to the screening questions will be the main source of information. Failure to provide complete answers may result in job applications being screened out from further consideration in this process. Should you indicate in your response "please refer to resume" we may be unable to assess you against the position’s essential qualifications which could result in a failure. Lack of examples and details will result in your application being rejected. Applicants will not be contacted to clarify incomplete or missing information.

❗❗ "Asset qualifications" could be used either at the screening phase or to determine which candidate will be appointed. Therefore, if candidates meet the asset qualifications, they should also describe in their answers to the screening questions how they meet these qualifications using detailed and concrete examples.

Further assessment may be conducted on the experience later on in the process.

🚩 PLEASE NOTE: Your application and all communications throughout this process MAY be used to assess your ability to effectively communicate in writing. You are required to use complete sentences.
