===How do I answer the screening questions regarding my experience?===
 +
*To increase the likelihood of being selected, answer the screening questions using '''specific''' and '''concrete''' examples from your work, volunteer, or school experience. 
 +
*A strong answer includes details such as when and where you acquired the experience and focuses on what you accomplished and the results you obtained.
 +
*A weak answer doesn’t provide enough details for the person reviewing your application to determine that you have the required experience. A weak answer could mean that your application is not selected for further consideration.
 +
 
 +
*Here are examples of strong and weak answers to the following screening question:
 +
'''''Do you have experience carrying out or executing scientific research, normally associated to gathering, compiling, analyzing, and interpreting scientific data?'''''
 +
 
 +
** Strong Answer: From November 2019 to September 2021, in my role as a Biologist at ABC Company, I have gained experience in carrying out scientific research by completing the following tasks... (Describe the tasks)
 +
** Weak Answer: See my resume for details, I have 2 years of research experience
 +
 
 +
 
 +
*You can use the STAR method to help structure your answers:
 +
**'''Situation:''' Describe the situation.
 +
**'''Task:''' Give details on what you had to do.
 +
**'''Action:''' Give details on actions you have taken.
 +
**'''Result:''' Describe the result of the situation.
