~~====<big>GC Jobs Frequently Asked Questions</big>====~~

−

|

−

~~=====<big>GC Jobs in general</big>=====~~

−

~~====== 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, 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?======~~

−

~~See "Appointment Process" in the ⭐ '''The Basics of Starting Your GoC Career''' section above for more information.~~

−

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

−

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

−

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

−

~~=====<big>How a pool works</big>=====~~

−

~~======What is a pool?======~~

−

When you apply to a GC Jobs process, you go through several assessments (screening questions, interview, second language tests, etc.) to ensure that you meet the Statement of Merit Criteria. At the end of the process, there may be 10 candidates qualified for the job, but only one position available. Therefore, qualified applicants who were not selected have a reference number showing that they qualified for, for example, an AS-03 job.

−

*See the [https://www.canada.ca/en/public-service-commission/services/orphans/site-map-staffing-assessment-services/general-pools-inventories.html Pools page] for more information.

−

~~====== 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.

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.

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

+

|-

+

|'''How do I know if I am qualified in a pool?'''

+

To validate that you are part of a pool, a human resources advisor from staffing should have contacted you by email at the end of a selection process to tell you that you are in the pool (following the evaluation of your answers to the pre-screening questions, the interview, the references, the language tests, etc.).

+

|-

+

|'''On GC Jobs, in the "Status of job application" section, it says I am "Retained". Am I qualified in a pool?'''

+

No. As soon as you answer all the pre-screening questions, you get this answer: "Retained" on GC Jobs.
