Dear Brothers and Sisters,

You may have noticed today when our new job postings came out that they look a little different.
Job postings will now have each job classification together on one sheet.

As you saw today, there were two job postings for secretary on one posting sheet – they were for the same amount of hours. The reason there was another posting for a secretary is due to the different amount of hours.

Also posted today on one sheet were two positions – both HSL. CORRECTION once again… Both positions were for HSL. (updated April 24, 2015 @ 4:30 p.m.) One was for a HSL position at Riverheights, the other was for a HSL position at Meadows. HSL positions are listed with E.A.s as that’s how they are listed in the Collective Agreement (we are aware that only one description was listed), as there was some confusion with how this posting was written. Our Union President, Jamie Rose is aware of this, and is looking into better structure and wording. As you can see – sorting out this matter has been a lot of work, we hope to have cleared up any confusion by next posting period – Thursday, April 30, 2015.

Please be aware that this change = less work for you! When you wish to apply for positions you can now submit fewer resumes and cover letters. For example, if you wanted to apply for more than one job that came out today you would indicate your preferences in your Cover Letter.
Eg:
First Choice: Secretary at King George (Competition Number 1507101)
Second Choice HSL at Meadows (Competition Number: 1504101)
Third Choice: HSL at Riverheights (Competition Number: 1504101)
Fourth Choice: Secretary at Riverhheights (Competition Number 1507101)
Fifth Choice: Secretary at Vincent Massey (Competition Number 1507102)
You may submit as many choices as you’d like.Thanks for visiting your 737 CUPE site for answers!
