The Minimum Qualification Supplemental Questionnaire will be used to evaluate if the applicant possesses the required minimum qualifications.

Written Core Examination (Weight 100%): 

The Core Examination will be administered remotely. This computer-administered exam can be taken at home. Candidates must have access to a computer and reliable internet connection to participate in these exams. Candidates will be scheduled for a specific time and date to complete the examinations. Candidates who meet the minimum qualifications will be invited to participate in the core examination as described below.
 

Core Examination (Weight 100%): A multiple-choice examination, designed to measure relative knowledge, skills and abilities in job-related areas including, but not limited to:
