IMPORTANT NOTES FOR ANSWERING SCREENING QUESTIONS
→ You are responsible for explaining how you meet the qualifications by giving clear and concrete examples in your answers to each question.
→ It is NOT enough to only state that you meet the criterion by listing responsibilities or activities, by answering in point form, by “copy & pasting” from your résumé or by simply saying “refer to my résumé/previous answer(s)”. If you do not provide enough information, we may screen you out of the selection process.
→ For each question, you MUST clearly show and support that you meet the qualification by writing 1 – 2 paragraphs to tell us:
WHERE – name(s) of department(s) or organization(s)and position(s)/title(s) where you gained the experience.
WHEN – specific period(s) of time/dates during which you did these tasks (you may use a MM-YYYY to MM-YYYY format).
HOW – describe the situation(s)/task(s)/project(s) in clear, specific and concrete details. Show us how you gained the experience by including: what you did; how you did it; what your role was in the situation; and what the outcome was and/or what you learned. Your example(s) must relate directly to the qualification in question and include enough background and details for us to understand the level and the scope of your experience.
⇒ The screening questions will be used as the primary tool in the screening process. The résumé may be used to substantiate the information provided. The board members cannot make any assumptions about the candidate's experience and will not contact candidates for additional, or potentially missing information. Please note your ability to communicate effectively in writing may be assessed via the application.

Candidates must clearly demonstrate in their responses that they meet the essential education and experience qualifications. It is NOT sufficient to only state that the qualifications are met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. Rather you must clearly demonstrate HOW, WHEN, and WHERE the qualification was met through substantiation by examples. Information on your described skills, experience, etc. provided in the screening questions should be supported by your resume. Failure to provide sufficient information will result in the candidate being screened out and rejected from the process.
We may assess the essential and asset qualifications using interviews, written tests (take home assignments or other), references or a combination of these or other assessment methods. Other sources of information (such as performance agreements, work samples, board member knowledge, etc.) may be used to assess the criteria identified on the Statement of Merit Criteria.
You must be able to provide proof of your education credentials.
Persons are entitled to participate in the appointment process in the official language(s) of their choice.
Candidates must meet all of the essential qualifications noted in the Statement of Merit Criteria to be appointed to a position. A candidate may be appointed to a position even though they do 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.
A random and/or top down selection of candidates maybe used in the determination of those to be given further consideration in the assessment process.
For this selection process, we will communicate with you by email. You must provide a valid email address to which you wish to receive communication regarding this selection process.
