======What is GC Jobs?======

+

====== What is GC Jobs? ======

−

GC Jobs is the Government of Canada (GoC) platform that allows you to view all external and internal advertised job processes (in some cases) and allows interested and eligible candidates to apply for the job or qualify in a pool (in some cases).

+

GC Jobs is the Government of Canada (GoC) platform that allows you to view all external and internal advertised job processes (in some cases, see '''Internal Jobs on GC Jobs''' section, below) and allows interested and eligible candidates to apply for the job or qualify in a pool (in some cases).

======What is an internal and external advertised process?======

Line 209: Line 241:

*'''Advertised:''' job openings posted on GC Jobs.

**'''External:''' people from the civil service and others.

−

**'''Internal:''' people from the public service.

+

**'''Internal:''' people from the public service (GoC students workers may be included in some cases).

====== What if I am in a pool?======

If you are in a pool, [[GCStudents - ÉtudiantsGC/English/Resources/Networks|start networking]] by mentioning the pool you are qualified in!

+

=====<big>Internal jobs on GC Jobs</big>=====

+

======'''Is a student or casual worker eligible for internal jobs on GC Jobs?'''======

+

Student workers (FSWEP, RAP or CO-OP) and casual workers '''are not eligible''' for internal employment '''UNLESS''' it is clearly stated in the " Who can apply " section, for example

+

*'''Who can apply:''' Individuals employed in the federal public service occupying positions across Canada AND students* in the federal public service across Canada.

+

======'''During my student contract, how can I view internal GoC jobs?'''======

+

When working in the Government of Canada, you can view the internal jobs tab on the GC Jobs site using a computer connected directly to the government network, regardless of whether you are logged into your account or not.

+

*Be sure to read the " '''Who can apply''' " section before applying.

+

======'''After my contract at the GoC, how can I view the GoC's internal jobs?'''======

+

#The first way is to provide your Personal Record Identifier (PRI) in the tab of your personal information.

+

##'''Notice that some people say: I''' did it, then I logged out and logged back in. When I click on "Job Search" at the top of the page, I always see only one tab "Jobs open to the public". There is no "Internal Jobs" tab.

+

#The second way is to log into your personal account (personal email address) during your contract with the GoC using a government computer or by being connected to the GoC network. This allows access to internal jobs from any computer for 365 days from the date of your last login.

+

##You will receive an email one month before the end of the 365 period informing you that:

+

###Your access to internal Government of Canada (GoC) jobs from the GC Jobs website ends in 30 days.

+

###In order to maintain this access, you must enter your account from a computer connected to the GoC network within 30 days. Your access to internal GoC jobs will then be extended for another 365 days.

===📚 Differences between a selection process, a pool and an inventory/directory===

+

+

+

There is a big difference between a '''selection process''', a '''pool''' and an '''inventory/directory'''. We invite you to visit the [https://www.canada.ca/en/public-service-commission/services/orphans/site-map-staffing-assessment-services/general-pools-inventories.html Government of Canada page] for more information.

+

You are in a '''selection process''' when you have applied for a job and are still in the process of making assessments (screening questions, interviews, tests).

+

At the end of some selection processes, a '''pool''' (list) of qualified or partially qualified candidates is created to fill similar positions. Check the "Job Intent" section of the [https://www.canada.ca/en/services/jobs/opportunities/government.html GC Jobs] advertisements to validate whether or not a pool has been created. This means that you have demonstrated during the selection process that you meet the essential qualifications and competencies as defined in the Statement of Merit Criteria (essential qualifications, skills, conditions of employment, etc.).

+

You may be in a '''pool''' when you have completed all steps of a selection process but are not the nominated/selected candidate for the position. This means that you are qualified for the given group and level. You have demonstrated during the selection process that you meet the qualifications of the Statement of Merit Criteria (essential qualifications, competencies, conditions of employment, etc.). The advantage of being qualified in a pool is that you can network to find a job and the hiring process is faster since you have already demonstrated that you meet the statement of merit criteria.

+

The advantage of being qualified in a '''pool''' is that you can now network your way into a job. The hiring process is generally faster since you have already demonstrated that you meet the essential qualifications outlined in the Statement of Merit Criteria. We encourage you to consider the following networking opportunities:

+

*Facebook Groups (GoC - |...| Informal)

+

*Network on LinkedIn

+

*Network of contacts

+

*Inventories and directories on GC Jobs

+

As for '''inventories/directories''', they are generally intended to help you network to find a job in a non-advertised way (without applying to a process). By being part of an inventory/directory, you are on a list that does not necessarily qualify you.

+

We encourage you to consult the [[Federal Youth Network/Home ENG/Resources|career development resources]] of the Federal Youth Network (FYN).
