The following skills assessment is a self-assessment used to evaluate an applicant's training and experience.
I understand that:
A) Part-time experience must be prorated and credited as half of full-time experience (i.e., if you performed the task for two years in a part-time position, 20 hours per week, you can only credit yourself with one year of experience in that area)
B) The education, knowledge, and experience levels indicated by my skills assessment responses must be supported and clearly documented in the "Education" and "Work Experience" sections of my application;
C) Any falsification or misrepresentation of the information listed on the employment application or skills assessment may result in removal from the eligibility list or rescinding a job offer;
D) Responses to assessment questions that are not supported and clearly documented in the "Education" and "Work Experience" sections on the application may result in question scores being adjusted to receive zero points;
E) Assessment scores may be used to consider applicants for the selection process;
F) I further understand that since exam scores will be automatically generated based on the applicant's response to each item in the assessment, score appeals will not be allowed for this recruitment.
