How to Obtain a Government Job in Canada (Books And Resources)
You are interested in prosecuting a career with Canada’s large employer (the Government of Canada) and are attracted by exciting career growth opportunities, the generous health and pension benefits, the prospect of a procure job, and achieving work-life balance.
Apart from the information available from Federal government websites on how to apply to jobs in the Government of Canada, few informational resources exist on the topic.
I have compiled a list of resources (only books) that describe various aspects of the Government of Canada hiring process.
Ebooks
1) The Insider’s Guide on how to get a job in the Canadian Government (.99)
available at http://www.canadiangovernmentjobs.ca
This book is a valuable resource that will help you plan your strategy to getting a Government cheating right from the first of the book. The book even includes tips for the first weeks of work at your new job.
Pros
– Well written and covers all major areas related to getting a job in the federal government.
– Contains many insider tips and little known strategies that make a difference when applying for
jobs and preparing for interviews.
– Price is very reasonable given the breadth, depth and quality of the content.
– Includes bonus chapters about preparing for Post Secondary Recruitment tests and job
positions at Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT).
Cons
– Not available in hard copy format.
– No information on pursuing an international career with CIDA (Canadian International
Development Agency). That would be a great addition to the bonus chapters.
Books
1) “Ready, Set, Hired!” (Available at Chapter’s Indigo bookstores .95 )
Not a valuable resource. If you must consult, do so at your public library where this book is generally available; do not spend your hard earned dollars on this material. You will find the large majority of this information on the Government of Canada job website.
Pros
– Provides good information for older job applicants which may prefer hard copy as opposed to
ebooks.
– It supply a sample of a resume and cover letter; however, this information could be found
easily online.
Cons
– Contains very little original content; most definitions such as of “duty to accommodate” can be
found on the federal government websites.
– The book is overpriced given that only very sparse sections contain applicable tips and
strategies to actually pursue government jobs.
– The book describes the reality of hiring practices at the government more than how to obtain a
coveted position.
2) Comprehensive Guide to Canadian Public Service Exams .99 available at
Chapter’s Indigo Bookstores
I believe that although the price is quite high considering my personal as well as readers’ feedback regarding the mismatch of the practice exams difficulty level in regards to the actual exam, this is currently (as of March 2011) the merely full practice exam guide available.
If you believe the written exam could be your weakness, it might be worth investing to understand how to sharpen your skills with this guide although the above ebook also provides a chapter on this as well.
Pros
– The practice test give you a good idea of the type of questions asked
– This book contains practice exams for a variety of tests including: Situational Judgment Test,
Graduate Recruitment Test, General Competency Test, Written Communication Test and the
General Intelligence Test amongst others.
– It is the only book available that contains sample questions of the large majority of Canadian
Public Service Exams.
Cons
– The practice questions are much simpler than the actual questions found in the real exam.
– The questions seem to be outdated and several readers have complained that the book
allows you to gain a somewhat mistaken confidence to take the exams.
3) Foreign Service Examination & Career Counselling Inc. Test Kit 5
Available at http://www.foreignserviceprep.com
If you speak both official languages and even a third language, have strong credentials and you are very clear that an international career with the Canadian Government is your dream, this investment in your preparation maybe worth it.
Pros
– Highly specialised test kit which prepares you for job opportunities at the Department of Foreign
Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) or the Department of Citizenship and Immigration (CIC)
in Foreign Service (FS).
– Two full-length, 100-question sample tests replicating the real Situational Judgment Test (SJT)
are provided for thorough practice.
– Three full-length, 50-question sample tests replicating the Written Communication Proficiency
Test (WCPT) are provided for repeated practice
Cons
– At 5, this test kit is definitively one of the most expensive options available.
– If you are not applying for an international job you may wish to explore a more affordable option.

FBRM C35 In-Process Particle Characterization Technology Receives Powtech/TechnoPharm Innovation Award 2010

Columbia, MD (PRWEB) May 18, 2010
The Powtech/TechnoPharm body awarded METTLER TOLEDO the Innovation Award 2010 for the FBRM? C35 corpuscle circumference equidistribution engineering in the mote depiction and stuff sciences family. The Powtech/TechnoPharm Innovation Award was presented during the Partec/Powtech/World Congress on Particle Technology (WCPT6) symposium held April 26-29 in Nuremberg, Germany.
For moisture shaping procedure in the pharmaceutic manufacture, scientists and engineer previously relied on empirical information and appearance authorization because reliable designing and measure-up criterion were missing. With the powerboat of the FBRM? C35, preparation scientists and engineer are nowadays able to quickly correlative atom scheme dynamics to blowing status by run fewer experiment than traditional method. The in situ designing of the FBRM? C35 allows for faster discernment and optimisation of process with no selection required. The papers-pending scraper keep the FBRM? investigation frame weightlift allowing the scheme to course cluster, compression and reimbursement directly in the procedure vas – eve in the most cohesive corpuscle condition.
Wet shaping is ace of the most park procedure step for producing tablet in the pharmaceutic manufacture. One of the briny focuses in grading-up is to ensure consistent microsome form and circumference equidistribution. This is important for consistent flowing property of the granule and to avoid non-homogeneous equidistribution of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and other appearance issue.
FBRM? C35 enables shorter progress round resulting in significant disbursement reduction, gain procedure hardiness resulting in fewer accumulation failure, and ensures consistent mensuration. FBRM? is a highly precise and medium engineering which path alteration to corpuscle thickness, mote configuration, and corpuscle complement. Over a wide sensing scope from 500nm to 3mm, measuring are acquired in imaginary clip while particle are forming and tin pic be modified enabling procedure optimisation and dominance.
Prior to the POWTECH/TechnoPharm production, maiden 50 exhibitioner, including METTLER TOLEDO, submitted their tidings invention to the jurist from PROCESS, PharmaTEC and Bulk Solids diary. In 2010, the awarding touchstone considered included invention, appearance, ratio and econometrics for the consumer. The submission had to be no older than 1 twelvemonth and available for repurchase in the marketplace. The jurist formally recognized the METTLER TOLEDO FBRM? C35 as victor on the former eventide of the act during a functionary awarding ceremony.
“The large number of applications showed that even in difficult economic times many companies are investing in development and invention to procured a good marketplace position?, said PROCESS Chief Editor and Publisher Gerd Kielburger during the awarding presentation.
After purchasing Lasentec? in 2001, METTLER TOLEDO has become the macrocosm person for inline atom/droplet circumference, shape, and count characterisation.
