VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Screening Questions-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 write one or two paragraphs demonstrating that you have the required experience and ensure that clear and accurate details are provided. APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE CANDIDATE MEETS THE SCREENING CRITERIA WILL NOT BE GIVEN FURTHER CONSIDERATION.
Please note that having the asset qualifications is not mandatory in order to apply to this process. However, 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 how they meet these qualifications using detailed and concrete examples.
