Yes, once you have completed your online application through our online application system and submitted your application, you can apply for multiple positions that are currently open and on the Job Opportunities web page. Please note you must apply for each position individually. All you have to do to apply for another job is to log back on to the online application system and apply using the same Username and password you created. The last application you submitted will still be in the system available for you to update and/or submit for another job opening. As a reminder, tailoring your application to the position you are applying for each time you apply for a job opening will increase your chances for success in the recruitment and selection process.

Applicants can complete their applications online from any computer with Internet access. After the closing date, applications will be screened by the recruitment staff and all applicants will be notified by email of their results.  Additional information is available at Recruitment and Selection Process.

The time it takes depends on several factors including the amount of work experience and education you have to enter, how fast you can type, whether you copy and paste information, etc. You should allow 20-45 minutes for the total process. However, you can speed up the process by collecting important information about previous work experience, education, certifications, etc. before you start creating your application. If you find you are missing a piece of information that is requested, you can skip the field and go back before the deadline to apply to submit your application.  The information on your application when you apply will be used to evaluate your qualifications for the job opening for which you apply-make sure it is accurate and contains all information requested as well as any specific attachments that are required.

We do not accept mailed applications.  All applications must be completed using the online application system when the position is posted on the Job Opportunities web page.
