AFTER YOU APPLY

Modify Your Application - Any type of modification may be made to an application prior to the closing date for the competition. After the closing date, the only changes that may be made are to contact information (e.g. mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number).

When you have made necessary the changes to your application, you must click on Submit Application to return your application to the Job Opportunity(ies) Submitted. If you do not re-submit the application, it will not be considered for this competition.

• The hiring department conducts a more detailed screening of the applications.
• Only applicants who are to be considered further will be contacted by the department.

If you are called for an interview, reference checks may be conducted. Be prepared to provide at least two references who know your work and who the department may contact in confidence.
