Assessment accommodation

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.

When you submit an application for this selection process, you are not applying for any specific position, but to an inventory in anticipation of future vacancies. As positions become available, the applicants meeting the initial screening requirements identified by the hiring manager may be contacted and referred for consideration. Please ensure that your information is updated and remains current in your PSRS Applicant Account.

****These positions are being advertised simultaneously via an external process; and the same assessment tools will be applied to all 3 processes. Consequently, candidates who applied to processes 2022-EA-PRA-CR_04-828, 2022-EA-PRA-CR_04-829 and/or 2022-EA-PRA-CR_04-830 will only be assessed once.****

Your application in this inventory will be active for 3 months. A notice that your application is about to expire will be posted to the My jobs menu of your account 10 days before the end of your active period. If you do not take action, your application will no longer be active and therefore no longer considered for this inventory. Should your application become inactive while the process is still open, a notice will be posted to your account indicating that your application has expired; you may select the link Update my Inventory Status to reaffirm your interest.
