GC Jobs Frequently Asked Questions |
GC Jobs in generalWhat 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). 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.
How a pool worksWhat 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.
What if I am in a pool?If you are in a pool, start networking by mentioning the pool you are qualified in! |
