Assessment accommodation
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.
Applicants must answer the screening questions as part of the application process by providing concrete examples with supporting dates, which demonstrate how they meet the education and the experience requirements listed in the essential qualifications.

The onus is on the candidate to submit an application that addresses directly the screening requirements of the competition (education and experience). Candidates will not be solicited for incomplete or missing information. Your résumé will constitute a secondary source, confirming the experience described in the answers provided. Applications that do not clearly demonstrate that the candidate meets the screening criteria will not be given further consideration.
