TRACK RECORD

Information for applicants:

The track record is an assessment tool that provides a template for the applicant to describe work-related accomplishments and behaviours.

You must clearly demonstrate how you meet each of the essential education, experience, and key leadership competencies by concretely describing situations where you demonstrated behaviours associated with each qualification.

For each qualification you must provide one or more examples from your own experience that demonstrate how you meet the qualification.

The example must reflect your typical work performance that demonstrate on a regular basis. You must provide sufficient details in your track record to demonstrate:

1) That you possess the essential qualification (e.g. possess the experience or meet the competency);
AND
2) That the quality of your work demonstrates that you are qualified for the position to be staffed

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING THE TRACK RECORD

Q1. Can I ask for accommodation or an adapted format when filling out the track record?
Yes, if you experience barriers when completing the track record, or need an alternate method of demonstrating these competences, please contact us.

Q2. What are some guidelines that could help me prepare my track record?
Use the STAR method (situation, task, action, result) to respond to the questions. This structure is a way to discuss specific situations from your past experiences.

Situation: Describe the specific scenario you were in, including when and where it occurred, who was involved, and any relevant background details necessary for understanding the situation.

Task: Clearly define the goal or objective you were trying to accomplish within that particular context. Explain why this goal was important and what was at stake.

Action: Describe in detail the actions you personally took to address the situation and make progress towards achieving your goal. Use concrete examples, emphasizing your individual contributions with action verbs in the past tense. Avoid vague statements like "we decided" or "we organized", focusing instead on your own role and impact.

Result: Describe the outcome of your actions and how the situation was resolved. Highlight any positive results or accomplishments that resulted from your efforts. Reflect on the complexity and impact of your examples, ensuring they effectively showcase your abilities. Write in clear, concise paragraphs, and steer clear of acronyms. Remember, it's up to you to independently complete your track record, as management won't provide assistance. Your home Director will be asked to validate the provided information for accuracy and confirm your readiness for the position to be staffed. The Director may contact your supervisor or clients to obtain the necessary information to validate your examples.

Q3. Can my supervisor or any other members of management help me complete my track record?
No, supervisors and managers should not assist employees with the completion of their track record.

Q4. I do not express myself as well in writing as other employees. Will I be disadvantaged?
No, the ability to communicate in writing will not be assessed with the track record.

Applicants must be clear in the examples they provide so that the Director validating the track record can understand the examples provided.

If you require accommodation or experience accessibility barriers when completing the track record please contact us.

Q5. Can employees use the same example for more than one qualification?
Yes, if the example provided answers the questions and illustrates the qualifications evaluated.

Q6. My Manager is not aware of my day-to-day work. How can he/she validate my example?
The Manager may contact your immediate supervisor or clients to obtain the necessary information to validate your example.

Q7. Will Managers be able to comment or add information to the employee’s track record?
The Manager may comment if they determine an employee has significantly overrepresented or underrepresented their work on the track record.

Q8. How will the evaluation and rating work? Will there be a passing mark for each qualification or will it be an overall score?
A pass/fail will be assigned for each of the essential qualifications.
