Applying for Government of Canada jobs: What to expect
Getting a federal public service job includes several steps. Here’s what you can expect (though not necessarily in this order):
- Apply to a job
- Check your GC Jobs account to see if you have been screened in
- Take a written test, or go to an interview if required
- Provide references to the manager and go through security screening
- Check your GC Jobs account/email to receive updates on the process
Testing, interviews and accommodation measures
After you’ve applied, if you’re screened in, you may be asked to write a test or series of tests. You may also be invited to an interview. Let the person inviting you to the test or interview know, as soon as possible, if you think assessment accommodation measures could make tests or interviews more accessible to you.
