Assessment accommodation

****NOTE: It is your responsibility as a candidate to submit a COVER LETTER, which clearly outlines how you meet each of the screening qualifications (i.e. education, essential experience and asset qualifications) as well as a resumé which is linked to the information provided in your cover letter.

** Please note that it is not sufficient to only state that the qualification is met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities.

**** You must provide CONCRETE EXAMPLES, which illustrate how you meet each qualification.

***For example, the best approach is to use each screening qualification as a heading, and provide a description outlining how that qualification is met. Failure to clearly demonstrate how you meet the screening criteria (education, essential experience and asset qualification) may result in the REJECTION OF YOUR APPLICATION.

****Candidates who are missing information or submit incomplete information could be screened out.

For this selection process, our intention is to communicate with applicants by e-mail for screening/assessment purposes (including issuing screening results, and sending invitations for written tests and interviews).

Testing/interviews will be conducted at locations of the employer's choice and may require candidates to travel to the test/interview location, Richibucto, N.B.

Please note that candidates (including persons employed in the Public Service) will not be considered to be in travel status or on government business and travel costs will not be reimbursed. Consequently, candidates will be responsible for travel costs.

** PLEASE ENSURE ALL OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IN YOUR WWW.JOBS.GC.CA PROFILE/ACCOUNT IS ACCURATE AND UP TO DATE.
