Did you know you can check your application status in “my job page” after the closing date? Check what stage you are at in the application process!

STAGE 1: NEW APPLICATION

My Job page Status : Thank you, resume received.

You will receive an e-mail right after you submit your application confirming we have received it.

This email contains useful job application resources (i.e. interview tips).

Check out our Job Postings Presentation - a guide to a great application!

STAGE 2: RESUME REVIEW

There are two statuses you may see on your profile:

Did you know we receive on average 200 resumes per job posting? Even if your application was not successful this time, this doesn’t mean you aren't qualified. So don’t stop applying!

Resume Evaluation –Your resume is being reviewed by a recruiter for further evaluation of your qualifications.

Hiring Manager Review – Your resume has been passed on to the hiring manager for further review.

What happens if my status doesn’t change to Hiring Manager Review within one week of the posting close date? It means that your application is not successful at this time.

STAGE 3: INTERVIEW

My Job page Status : Interview

Did you know that you could ask the Hiring Manager for interview feedback if you were not successful?

You’ve been selected for an interview! Congratulations in reaching this step!

Our interviews are performance based. Visit our career site for a job interview webinar which will better prepare you for the job interview.

After the interview you will be informed of the Hiring Manager’s decision.

STAGE 4: REFERENCE CHECKS

My Job page Status : Reference Checks

Remember: Even if you don’t reach this step you should always keep in touch with at least 3 Supervisors that will be happy to provide you with a reference.

The recruiter will be calling your references for verification of employment and qualifications.

A current or most recent employer will always be required for a reference.

STAGE 5: VERBAL OFFER

My Job page Status : Offer Extended

You’ve been selected as the top candidate for the job. A verbal offer will be extended followed by a formal written offer.
