Postings contain important information such as minimum job requirements, examination process, and application procedures. Some jobs are posted as "continuous” recruitment without a specified closing date; however, they are subject to closure at any time. Other jobs are posted with a defined closing date and time after which applications will no longer be accepted.

If you do already have a saved profile, the confirmation screen asks whether you would like to replace the information to your account profile with the information submitted in the job application.

A list of qualified candidates is established through metrics obtained during the examination/application process and referrals are then made to the hiring departments. Factors such as location, shift, and special skills may be reviewed by a department and used in determining top candidates. If a department is interested in interviewing an applicant, they will contact the candidate directly. Please regularly check both your email inbox AND your SPAM/JUNK folders as some departmental level emails are rejected by internal settings. Also ensure your phone has voicemail set up if you don’t answer unknown numbers.

Once you complete the final submission of your application, you will NOT be able to view/check your application status. You will receive a confirmation email once you submit. If your status changes, you will receive an email indicating this change.
