Contact information below to request specialized accommodation. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.

Please ensure you read all poster notes thoroughly as they contain important information that will be required in the application process. Failure to read the notes and follow the instructions could result in your application missing critical information and having insufficient information for the assessment board to complete your assessment resulting in your elimination from the process.

**The assessment board cannot make any assumptions about your experience. It is insufficient to say that you have the required qualifications, to refer to your resume, or to list your current duties. When completing the screening questions, candidates must clearly demonstrate, using clear and concrete examples, how they meet essential and asset qualifications.**

APPLICATION:

PRE-SCREENING QUESTIONS: As part of your application, you must complete pre-screening questions.

FOR EACH CRITERION/QUESTION, please provide the following MANDATORY information:

1 - Name of the company or organization where the experience was acquired.
2 - Title of the position occupied and duration for which you exercised the functions.
3 - Specific details of tasks, projects or accomplishments demonstrating the experience was acquired.

The answers provided to the screening questions will be the main source of information used to evaluate applicants. Failure to provide complete answers may result in job applications being screened out from further consideration in this process. Applicants will not be solicited for incomplete or possible missing information.

"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 in the related screening questions how they meet these qualifications using detailed and concrete examples.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your ability to communicate effectively in writing may be assessed from your cover letter, resume and application.
