So you are looking for a job and are interested in working for the Canadian federal government. The federal government is a big place, so where do you start? How do you find the right job in your area, that is suited to your interests and skills?
The only place to go, if you are serious about finding the right federal government job is the new canada.ca website. Just follow the job links from the front page to find the public service jobs database. Here you will find all of the current job postings from across Canada for the federal government. The jobs are searchable by job title, location and even salary range.
Previously Canadian federal government jobs were posted at jobs.gc.ca, but recently the Canadian government website got a makeover. For a time, I expect that the jobs.gc.ca address will still get you to the right place. But, if you are having trouble finding the searchable database, follow the direct link here.
Whether you are an office clerk in Moose Jaw SK, a welder in Iqaliut, NT, an analytics specialist in Ottawa, ON, an environmentalist in Vancouver, BC, an economist in Montreal, QU, a nurse in Winnipeg, MB or a recent graduate in Moncton NB, you will find the right job at canada.ca.
Every day new jobs are added to the canada.ca website. Jobs can be posted for as little as 2 or 3 days for jobs that are easy to fill (administrative and entry level jobs) or indefinitely for jobs that are hard to fill (such as nurses and IT specialists). So if you are seriously looking for a job, you need to be on your toes to not miss the perfect opportunity.
But one simple hack can make it as easy as opening your email to keep track of job postings that you may be interested in. The canada.ca website has an easy to use notification system that sends out emails identifying jobs that meet your criteria. Looking for a full-time job with Corrections Canada in Edmonton, AB that pays at least $75,000….? Just set up the notification and you will get every new posting sent to your email.
Finding the right job poster is easy, getting through the Canadian federal government hiring process is tough. Subscribe now to give yourself a competitive advantage and turn your job hunt into a great start to your career.
Crush the competition.
