How to apply

Creating an account

Select Create Account from the left menu and follow the instructions. If using a mobile device, select the menu icon and then Create Account. You will need to provide a user name and password that you will remember (your username and password can’t be the same) and an e-mail address. People with accounts on the older version of our recruitment site will need to create a new account to use our upgraded careers site.

Logging onto your account

Select Log In from the left menu and enter your username and password. If you forget your username or password, click on Forgot your username or password? You can then enter the e-mail address you used to create your account to receive your username, or enter your username to set a new password.

Once you choose to apply for a position, you’ll be asked to provide information about yourself and your educational/work background. The more information you provide at the time of your application, the easier it will be for the hiring committee to effectively evaluate your skills, abilities and qualifications.

We recommend you gather all of this information before beginning the application process. You can copy and paste text information from existing documents directly into the appropriate fields of the application form.

When applying for a job you will need to:

• Confirm your personal information on your Account such as your name, address, phone number and e-mail. Some fields are required and you won’t be able to confirm the page without completing them.
• Complete the required education and employment information – one entry for each is required
• Complete the optional information such as references, including contact information
• Attach required documents – a Driver’s Abstract is almost always required (if you have a driver’s licence).
  • If you don’t have existing documents to upload, you can create a new document type – such as a resume or cover letter – by selecting Write a New Document, typing it directly into the system and saving it. Once you create a document within the site and it’s SAVED, it’s available for use on future applications as your document belongs to you (the ability to create new documents is only available if you're using browsers Internet Explorer version 11 and Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
  • Any documents that are password protected can’t be attached as they are converted to a PDF for storage. If you have documents stored in the E-recruit system, you can use them on your application by selecting Use Previously Uploaded Document after you choose the Add Required Document button.
  • The maximum size for any one document is 9 MB

• Go to the final page of your application, Check for Errors and Submit. Pages that are completed fully will have a Green check mark, and pages that are missing data will have a Red X. A summary will be shown at the top of your application indicating the pages that have missing data.
  
  • You can select the Red text or X to be taken directly to the page that needs your attention.

• Once the final page Check for Errors and Submit shows no errors/omissions, you can confirm your application and sign off on the accuracy of your information. Your application is not considered complete until you have attached all required documents, answered the supplemental questions and received a Confirmation number.

To confirm that your application has been successfully submitted, select My Applications in the left menu and you will see all the postings you have applied for, and a status of In-Progress will be shown.

After you login, select My Applications in the left menu. This will show you all the postings you have applied for and the status of each one. In the STATUS column, select the underlined link Withdraw Application.

You will be asked to confirm your withdrawal by clicking CONFIRM. We don’t recommend withdrawing from a job competition until you are contacted for an interview, or offered a position, as you can’t reapply for a posting once you withdraw from it.
