Federal\Public Service Exam Prep Guide (Various locations)

Thousands of applicants usually apply every year to be hired in the many officer-level job categories available in the federal government. Some of the competitions are for individual openings at entry-level or in promotion exercises, and others are national annual or semi-annual recruitment campaigns encompassing many types of positions at once.

Samples of the types of positions offered are: Commerce Officers with Industry Canada and Foreign Affairs; Economists in several departments; Citizen and Immigration Officers working in Canada; Development Officers with CIDA; Management and Consular Affairs Officers with Foreign Affairs; Foreign Service Officers with the Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Immigration Departments; Financial Officers with Treasury Board; and Management Trainees or Recruitment of Policy Leader opportunities with the Public Service Commission.

The written examination for most positions now includes one or more of the following tests:

* Situational Judgment Test (SJT)—a multiple-choice competency test using workplace scenarios to determine job suitability
* Graduate Recruitment Test (GRT)—a multiple-choice cognitive test re-introduced this year
* Written Communication Proficiency Test (WCPT)—a multiple-choice language usage exercise
* Written Communication Test (WCT)—a summary writing exercise also reinstated for this competition
