Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The job posting specifies that completion of Grade 12 plus graduation from either an MOA or office administration certificate program is a required qualification. Therefore, OMC would screen for minimum educational qualifications by requesting school transcripts or certificates as proof of completion of the required education. A reference check or employment interview may provide additional information about the candidate's qualifications and experience, but would not verify their minimum educational qualifications. An aptitude test would also not be relevant for verifying educational qualifications.
