We will have a remote sensing specialist speaking about careers: Andrew
Davidson, a scientist with the Canadian Government, will talk about his
experiences negotiating the minefield that can be the Government hiring
process, and the things you need to do when applying for that Government
job. Have you ever applied for a job with the Government of Canada and
wondered why you weren't considered for future selection? Applying for
Government jobs is tricky, and rarely, if ever, does a rejected
candidate receive feedback on why their application was rejected.
However, if you understand how selection processes work, and what hiring
managers are looking for in an application, you stand a much better
chance of finding success.
We will also explore future competencies and geomatics skills that you should acquire for the those future jobs.
