For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.

Tips for this job:

Your resume must be two pages or less and must show your specialized experience with start and end months and years and hours per week, or it may be removed.
If you qualify through education, upload your transcripts with your application or you will be rated ineligible.
Use plain language and avoid acronyms on your resume, and upload documents early because virus scans can take up to an hour.
