Applying for a Government Job

with  Moyra McWilliams

There are three levels of government in Ottawa: federal, provincial and municipal.  Navigating these bureaucracies as a job seeker can be incredibly daunting.

This workshop will demystify the process of applying to public sector jobs and give you the inside track when it comes to reading job posters, understanding competencies, writing resumes and cover letters that will get you screened in, writing tests and preparing for board interviews.

Thousands of people apply every month to work for the government. Come and learn what you need to know to set you apart!
