PART 2:  SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE EVALUATION

INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUESTIONS #4 - 6:  The following section will ask you to describe your relevant experience.  Your responses will be presented to an expert review panel for an assessment and will be used as part of the examination process to determine your score and rank on the eligible list. Your score to this Supplemental Questionnaire Evaluation will account for 50% of the total weight of your final score.  There are three (3) questions that you must answer by giving specific and detailed examples of your most relevant experiences. 

Answer each question completely.  Each response is evaluated and scored independently from the other questions.  You may need to repeat some information from one response to another in order to best respond to a given question. 

Demonstrate your breadth or depth of experience, per each question.  Provide your best or highest examples of work with supporting details. 

Be thorough but concise. Organize your responses appropriately.  Your written communication skills will be evaluated based on your responses.  Do not write "see resume" or "see application." 

It is suggested that you review the entire questionnaire before starting, prepare the narrative-style responses to some of the items in a word processing document, and then paste them into the questionnaire.
