Careers at VIA Rail
Only A Few Clicks Away
With New e-Careers Service

Montreal - VIA Rail Canada today launched its new e-Careers service. Those aspiring to a career at VIA are now just a few clicks away in terms of recruiting opportunities and career development. Management and entry-level unionized job openings will now be posted on the company's Web site (www.viarail.ca), facilitating the application process for candidates.

"This new e-Careers service, which is part of a larger effort to create an environment that promotes a passionate commitment to realizing our vision, will help us attract highly-talented individuals, with the right competencies, and who share our values," said Denis Pinsonneault, Chief People Officer at VIA.

Easy access

On the company's Web site, one simply needs to click on the "Careers" button at the top of the company's home page. Applicants can also register their profile in VIA's data base and download their CV.

e-Careers offers greater advantages for those looking for a job in terms of quick processing of job applications and automatic reply, confirming that a person's CV has been received by VIA. The online process also allows candidates more autonomy in creating their profile and in targeting specific areas of interest within the company. If a suitable match occurs, the system alerts the individual by email.

The e-Careers service will be the only means to submit an application for people outside the company. It is also available to internal candidates, through the company's portal.

As Canada's national passenger rail service, VIA Rail Canada's mandate is to provide efficient, environmentally responsible and cost effective passenger transportation services, both in Canada's business corridor and in remote and rural regions of the country. Serving more than 450 communities with a network of inter-city, transcontinental and regional trains, demand for rail services continues to grow as more Canadians turn to train travel as a safe and convenient travel choice.
