Please note that each hiring manager may have specific criteria to assess for their respective positions. Therefore, “asset” experience qualifications may be considered as essential qualifications based on the current and future requirements of the position being staffed.

During the application process, you will be asked to answer a series of pre-screening questions about “asset” experience qualifications that may be a deciding factor in referring your application to hiring managers for consideration. In this instance, any of the “asset” qualifications may be deemed essential requirements for the position being staffed.

We are aware that there are many questions to answer during the application process, please, keep in mind that, in answering all the questions for which you meet the criteria, you will significantly increase your chances to be referred to hiring managers for further consideration.

It is your responsibility, as a candidate, to clearly demonstrate that you meet each of the screening criteria. Please note that it is not sufficient to state that you meet the required qualifications, or to list your current qualifications. It is necessary to provide concrete examples that demonstrate how you meet the requirements.

***IMPORTANT***
The answers you will provide to the essential qualifications (education, work experience, abilities and competencies) questions will be used to evaluate your ability to communicate effectively in writing.
