Assessment accommodation

***ONLY APPLICATIONS RECEIVED DIRECTLY VIA JOBS.GC.CA WILL BE ACCEPTED***
Applications submitted by email will not be accepted. You must apply online through www.jobs.gc.ca.

How to apply:
• You will need to provide your resumé (you don’t need to provide a cover letter)
• You will also need to provide the name of two (2) references
• You must answer some screening questions online

When answering the screening questions for the essential education and experiences criteria, as well as the asset education and experiences criteria, you must clearly demonstrate how you meet the qualification. Simply saying you have the required qualifications or listing your current duties is not enough. Instead, provide concrete and detailed examples that clearly explain where, when, and how you gained the experience. We’ll only use your résumé as a secondary source of information. If you don’t clearly demonstrate that you have the required experience, we won’t ask for additional information and you may be screened out. Also note that the ability to communicate effectively in writing will be assessed using your answers in the screening questions.

Work environment

GCSurplus Sales Centres are staging areas for surplus and forfeited goods waiting to be sold to Canadians via its website. Our team is comprised of supply officers and stores persons that are dynamic and passionate about:
