Important Messages

CANDIDATES MUST IDENTIFY IN DETAIL HOW THEY MEET ALL ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS (AND ANY ASSET QUALIFICATIONS, IF APPLICABLE). FAILURE TO ADDRESS THESE REQUIREMENTS MAY RESULT IN THE CANDIDATE BEING SCREENED OUT. Interested persons must meet each essential qualification to be appointed to the position. A person may be appointed to the position even though he/she does not meet any or all of the asset qualifications. However, meeting these criteria is desirable and may be a deciding factor in choosing the person to be appointed.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: It is your responsibility as a candidate to submit a cover letter, which clearly outlines that you meet each of the essential screening qualifications (i.e. Education and Experience Qualifications) as well as a Curriculum Vitae which is linked to the information in your cover letter. Please note that it is not sufficient to only state that the qualification is met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. Rather you must provide concrete examples, which illustrate how you meet each qualification. One suitable approach is to use each screening qualification as a heading, and provide a description outlining how that qualification is met in 250 words or less. Failure to provide an appropriate cover letter may result in your application being rejected from the process.

Your résumé must clearly demonstrate how you meet the requirements.

We thank all those who apply. Only those selected for further consideration will be contacted.
