NOTE: It is your responsibility as a candidate to submit a COVER LETTER, which clearly outlines how you meet each of the screening qualifications (i.e. education, essential experience and asset qualifications) as well as a resumé which is linked to the information provided in your cover letter. ** Please note that it is not sufficient to only state that the qualification is met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. You must provide concrete examples, which illustrate how you meet each qualification. For example, one approach is to use each screening qualification as a heading, and provide a description outlining how that qualification is met. Failure to clearly demonstrate how you meet the screening criteria (education, essential experience and asset qualification) may result in the rejection of your application. Candidates who are missing information or submit incomplete information could be screened out.

For this selection process, our intention is to communicate with applicants by e-mail for screening/assessment purposes (including issuing screening results, and sending invitations for written tests and interviews). Applicants who apply to this selection process must include in their application a valid e-mail address and make sure that this address is functional at all times and accepts messages from unknown users.

All job applications must be submitted through the www.jobs.gc.ca system.

Testing/interviews will be conducted at locations of the employer's choice and may require candidates to travel to the test/interview location (New Brunswick).

Please note that candidates (including persons employed in the Public Service) will not be considered to be in travel status or on government business and travel costs will not be reimbursed. Consequently, candidates will be responsible for travel costs.

Intent of the process

The intent of the process is to establish a pool of qualified candidates for future vacancies of various tenures.

Should a CM be found qualified and selected for appointment, the appointment will not result in a change of status to another category for the member. Notification regarding the CM appointment will be sent to all applicable candidates who are within the area of selection and participated in the advertised process.

Should a PS be found qualified and selected for appointment, notification regarding the PS appointment will be posted accordingly on www.jobs.gc.ca.
