• Use complete sentences when providing responses to the questions. Marks will be
deducted for the use of bullet points and abbreviations with the exception of
acronyms.
• Be concise. Focus your application on how your skills and experience relate to the
focus area you have selected.
• Be selective. You don't have to “tell all”. Stick to what's relevant and marketable that
speaks to the skills required for the focus area you have selected.
• Be honest and accurate. False statements in your application may result in
rescinding an employment offer (or denial or immediate termination of employment).
• Proofread and pay attention to detail. Take the time to make sure the information that
you are using is correct and error-free. Review your application at different times with
rest periods in between readings. When your mind is fresh you will be much more
effective in catching typos and other grammatical errors.
• Be professional. Use professional language in your application.
