The purpose of screening questions is to help you submit an application that is clear, complete and demonstrates that you have the required essential education and experience qualifications and some or all of the other (asset) education and experience qualifications (if applicable). Responses will not be considered satisfactory if you simply state that you have the required qualifications or provide a list of current or past responsibilities or paraphrase the qualifications.
We suggest you use the STAR(S) method when you are answering the questions to provide us with a complete answer:
• S (Situation): A brief description of the situation
• T (Task): Tasks that need to be done
• A (Actions): Actions that were done
• R (Results): Result of the situation
• S (Follow-up, when required): Describe any follow-ups that have been made
Your responses to the screening questions will be used as the primary source to determine if you meet the screening requirements. If you do not provide in detail how you meet the experience and education essential merit criteria, you may be screened out. The resume you have sent will be used only if the Assessment Board considers it needs to validate the information provided in this questionnaire.
Each question is divided into two parts. The first part consists of a simple question requiring a YES or NO answer. If your answer is “yes”, the second part will ask to fully demonstrate how you obtained this qualification.
Persons are entitled to participate in the selection process in the official language(s) of their choice.
Communications made as part of this selection process will be made by email. Candidates are responsible for keeping their contact information up to date and must ensure that the email address provided via their GC Jobs application allows them to receive messages from unknown senders (some systems block this type of message).
It is also up to candidates to monitor their “junk” email inbox to ensure not to miss any communications related to this selection process.
All communication relating to this process, including email correspondence may be used in the assessment of qualifications.
Depending on the volume of applications received, any or all of the asset qualifications may determine those to be given further consideration in the assessment process. Candidates may be contacted and assessed against these criteria at any time during the process.
Pass marks will be established for each qualification. However, achieving the pass mark is not a guarantee of an appointment or that candidates will be put through to the next stages of the assessment process. A cut-off score and top-down approach may be used at any step if there is a sufficient number of candidates to meet immediate and anticipated staffing needs. A random and/or top-down selection of candidates may be used in the determination of those to be given further consideration in the assessment process.
