Immigration Forum / Canada / November 2005Federal jobs : How does it work?
Anyone has any idea how it works when the Federal/PSC hires? The process looks like very complex and slow. For example, one of my friends applied for a "permanent position" for a department in federal. Here is the timeline:- Job advertised: December' 2004 (Deadline in Jan' 2005) My friend applied:- Jan' 2005 No response till end of April' 2005 1st Interview:- May' 2005 No response till end of August' 2005 2nd Interview:- Sept' 2005 Reference check: Oct' 2005 AND no reply/response till now !!!! How does it work? What are the processes involved here? How can anyone know the status? Why it takes so long? Why they don't let you know what is the intention? etc etc ..... Any idea? All that I know they (the govt) are slow - but why, no clue(!) > Anyone has any idea how it works when the Federal/PSC hires? The > process looks like very complex and slow.

Welcome to the federal government where there is a different concept of time and spending. :-D >> Anyone has any idea how it works when the Federal/PSC hires?

Thankfully I wasn't out looking to get in when they were calling people 30 years ago offering jobs. I turned down the job they offered during the first call, but when they called me back two weeks later with another - I accepted. To be sure - the times have changed. federal jobs :: work mutually exclusive terms that should not be used in the same sentence  Signaturelike fu_ a porcupine 1000 pri_ks against one _ > Anyone has any idea how it works when the Federal/PSC hires?

When I applied for the foreign service there were over 9000 applicants for about 80 positions. Another problem for the government lies in the openness of the competitions which leads to legal appeals from unhappy applicants. The result is that they try to make their competitions completely bullet proof.

Since your name appears with "Former" :-), I would assume you have worked for long in foreign service and it would be long time ago. If so, imagine the scenario now. There would be 9000 times 100 applicants for 80 positions if it had to be now. Also if the competition was "bullet proof", it would be "nuclear proof" at present ... lol Good luck to all who are in the (fed job) war :-) -- cs > When I applied for the foreign service there were over 9000 applicants for > about 80 positions.

The government is looking for 2 things in hiring: 1) french speaking women from Quebec 2) friends > Anyone has any idea how it works when the Federal/PSC hires?
