The essential qualifications, the duration of employment, and the linguistic profiles may vary depending on the position to be staffed. Please read this poster carefully, as some qualifications are essential for ALL positions and others are only essential for SOME positions. Each branch will determine their needs for a position, and we will use these qualifications to determine the candidates to be referred for each position to be filled.
