The options may be discussed with the manager after an initial training period which requires a full time in office presence.
📌In many selection processes the first step is screening. It's during the screening phase that the assessment board will decide whether your application will be considered further or will be rejected. Use the Screening Questionnaire wisely. By demonstrating how you meet the qualifications, you may better your odds at being considered further. You should consider using the STAR technique to answer: describe the Situation, the Tasks you were required to achieve, the Actions you took and the Results of your actions.

We must uphold ethical standards and prioritize the well-being and rights of individuals involved in the assessment process.
In light of these concerns, it is forbidden to use artificial intelligence during the assessment process. We are looking for examples of your experience and it must be described in your own words. The use of artificial intelligence could lead to exclusion from the process.
