Simply log on to your profile, go to "Please indicate your status" and change your status from "Actively searching" to "Not searching." Should you decide you want to look for a job again, whether it be in a few months or a few years, you can log on to your profile again, reactivate it and update it.

How do I use the job listings page?

There are several ways to go about a job search on our job listings page. You can search by keyword and you can use any combination of the pull-down filters.

The content on the job listings page is live and is updated in real-time. New jobs will appear at the top of the list as they become available, and jobs that are no longer available are removed immediately. You can be confident that if the job is on our Web site, it is an open job.

Using the filters: You will notice several drop-down menus on the job listings page. Each of these will filter the jobs in the following ways:

  • Province
  • City
  • Employment Type
  • Job Category
  • Position ID

To use the menus, simply drop-down the list and highlight your selection. When you are ready, click "Search." You can use one or more of these menus to refine your search.

You can also combine the drop-down menus with the keyword search to further refine your search. Simply type in your keyword(s) and click on "Search." You can also use the keyword search by itself.

What are the technical requirements for using this tool?

For best results, please download the latest versions of Internet Explorer. Other browsers may also be used, but you may experience limited functionality.

How do I search for specific jobs?

You can search for a specific job by entering the title of the job in the "Keywords" field. If you see a job that is particularly appealing to you, make note of the "Position Title" or "Position ID." The next time you visit our website to search the employment opportunities, you can enter the title or ID in the "Keywords" or "Position ID" filter fields.

Can I view only the most recent jobs that have been posted?

Jobs appear in order from newest to oldest. The most recent jobs will always appear at the very top of the listings, whether or not they have been filtered.

Do I have to fill out a new application form every time I apply for a new job? Can I save my application form?

A link to your profile is automatically created every time you apply for a position, so you only have to fill it out once. Please note that you are free to update your profile at any time.

Should I fill out all of my skills in the application form?

The more skills you specify, the greater your chances are of being pulled up on a search by a recruiter.

What do the different "Job Categories" mean?

"Job Categories" are different areas of employment. You can specify one or more of these categories if you wish to limit your candidature to specific areas of work.
