All applications submitted in response to the Career Opportunities are reviewed to identify the applicants who meet the minimum qualifications for the job. Applicants who do not meet the minimum qualifications are usually notified by mail.

During the application review process, applicants meeting the minimum qualifications are screened based on relevance of education and experience.

Applications are ‘scored’ based on a criterion of the fundamental elements of the position.

Application and resume screening is a method for separating unqualified, marginally qualified, and prospectively qualified applicants solely on the basis of the applicant's "paper credentials." This paper screening is an attempt to determine which applicants appear on paper to be the most qualified, appear to have the most suitable work experience or related background, and appear in all other respects to be right for further consideration.

Depending on the urgency to fill the position, interviews will be scheduled soon after the screening process.
