Important messages

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. It is the responsibility of the candidate to submit a covering letter, which clearly outlines and demonstrates how they meet all the education and experience factors of the essential qualifications. Candidates who meet the asset qualifications must also demonstrate this in their covering letter.

Candidates must provide concrete examples that demonstrate how they meet the requirements. FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT AND APPROPRIATE INFORMATION MAY
RESULT IN ELIMINATION FROM THE PROCESS. Please note that the cover letter may be used to assess the ability to communicate effectively in writing.

Other information

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Candidates MUST provide a cover letter as the cover letter and resume may be used to assess your ability to communicate effectively in writing. In this document, you must provide concrete and detailed examples to clearly demonstrate how you meet the education and experience requirements listed in the essential qualifications and asset qualifications section. The screening board cannot make any assumptions about your experience. It is not sufficient to say that you have the required qualifications or to list your current duties. One effective approach would be to use the wording of each experience criterion as a heading and then write one or two paragraphs demonstrating that you have the required experience and ensure that clear and accurate details are provided. The curriculum vitae may be a secondary source to confirm the experience described in the cover letter.
APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE CANDIDATE MEETS THE SCREENING CRITERIA MAY NOT BE GIVEN FURTHER CONSIDERATION.

Applicants with disabilities: Should you require a technical aid or an alternative method of assessment to ensure an equitable assessment of your qualifications, please indicate so in your application.
