With over 800 000 applications to the Government of Canada in 2011 alone. The question is: How do I get a job in the Government of Canada? Below I will list the top six ways to get a job in the Government of Canada.

  1.  The Government of Canada’s job website (jobs.gc.ca) – I suggest that you sign up for job alerts so you don’t have to look to the ads daily.
  2. Working as a student (Federal Student Work Experience Program or Co-op) – I have seen several students get bridged into full-time positions through this route.
  3. Large government  scale  recruitment (Post Secondary Recruitment and/or Recruitment of Policy Leaders ) – These two programs provide access to entry-level or mid-level positions.
  4. Work as a term employee – Term employees have the advantage of daily networking in the Government setting which may lead to full-time employment.
  5. Work as a casual with an agency – If you perform your job really well, managers may offer to bring you in the Government of Canada (note that this is not always the case but it does happen).
  6. Work in a company that works with the Government of Canada – Government of Canada managers are always looking for the “best and brightest”. If you impress someone over the course of a project, they will keep you informed of external openings for which you would qualify.
