REQUIREMENTS
The candidate’s portfolio must include her letter of introduction and her answers to the following questions :

-
How will your training and work experience or your experience of union, social or volunteer involvement help you to:
- overcome obstacles to take your place within a team?
- be accepted and gain the respect of the male majority?
- keep your job?
- In your opinion, what can unions do to ensure that women continue to work in male-dominated professions?
