When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.

A notice that your application is about to expire will be posted to the My jobs menu of your account 21 days before the end of your active period.
