💡 INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW
A complete application must be submitted, consisting of a résumé and screening questions which clearly demonstrates how you meet each specified criteria.

The screening questions will be used as the primary tool in the screening process and the résumé will be used to substantiate the information provided. Also, the ability to communicate in writing may be assessed through the screening questions. Candidates are therefore to answer them with complete sentences.

The information provided during the application process must enable the Selection Board Members to understand HOW (clear explanation of duties), WHEN, WHERE (employer and geographic location) and for HOW LONG (date and length of time in months or years) the experience was acquired. Your answer should clearly identify your role and explain relevant responsibilities and/or actions that you took. Additionally, please be sure to provide sufficient information regarding dates & duration, scope of work, project or job complexities (as appropriate).

It is your responsibility, as a candidate, to clearly demonstrate how you meet each of the essential and asset criteria. Please note that it is not sufficient to simply state that the qualification is met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. Rather you must provide concrete examples with dates and duration as to when these experiences were gained for each experience criterion.

Candidates will not be solicited for incomplete or missing information. A lack of information may result in your application not being considered any further.

🚨Please note that only those applicants who meet the (education and/or experience) criteria will be invited to the next stage of evaluation. We thank all applicants for your interest in this selection process.
