The immediate need is a position in Edmonton (Alberta). In order to be appointed to a position, you need to meet all essential qualifications, including the education. We will proceed with the assessment of the education criteria for those interested in a position in Edmonton first, and therefore only those who meet the education criteria at the time of appointment could be considered. Nevertheless, you could later be considered for other positions once you obtain your diploma, if applicable.

Persons are entitled to participate in the appointment process in the official language of their choice. Applicants are asked to indicate their preferred official language in their application.

Your résumé must clearly demonstrate how you meet the requirements.

A written examination may be administered.

An interview may be administered.

Reference checks may be sought.

Candidates must meet the essential qualifications to be appointed to a position.

Candidates may be required to meet the asset qualifications or the organizational needs, depending on the requirements of the specific position being staffed. Meeting one or many of the asset qualifications may be a deciding factor in appointing a particular candidate amongst the qualified candidates. Please note that some or all of the asset qualifications could be used at the screening phase.

Acknowledgment of receipt of applications will not be sent; we will contact candidates when the screening process is completed.

E-mail correspondence will be used as the main method of communication with candidates for this selection process for screening and assessment (including issuing results and sending invitations for written test and interview). Please note that the onus is on the candidates to provide valid contact information and to update it, if required.

The organization will accept applications on-line only. All job applications must therefore be submitted through the Public Service Resourcing System.

All information obtained throughout the selection process, from the time of application to close of process, will be used to evaluate the candidates. The application may be used to assess the written communication ability.

The Public Service of Canada is committed to building a skilled, diverse workforce reflective of Canadian society. As a result, it promotes employment equity and encourages candidates to indicate voluntarily on their application if they are a woman, an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability or a member of a visible minority group.

If contacted in relation to a job opportunity or testing, you should advise the Public Service Commission or the departmental official in a timely fashion of the accommodation measures which must be taken to enable you to be assessed in a fair and equitable manner.
