    EDUCATION, SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, WORK EXPERIENCE, RESIDENCY, OTHER JOB REQUIREMENTS

    Be sure that you carefully and completely report your education, training, and experience so it is clear how they help you qualify for this specific job.  It is extremely beneficial if you attach a separate sheet listing ALL experience that may have prepared you for the position, whether it is classes, hobbies, volunteer work, or paid employment.
     

  4. The most-qualified job applicants, as determined from the applications, resumes, and any other supporting materials submitted, will be referred to the supervisor in the department in which the job opening exists for further review by interviews and reference checks.
