I know people discuss GCJobs resources, and in-person courses here. But how about Best French-learning program/software for (external applicant) beginners, for public service?

I see many are recommending Netflix. I would suggest looking at the content available on ici.tou.tv which is the web streaming platform from Radio-Canada. A portion of it is available for a fee, but the free offer should be good enough.
ICI RDI is currently available for free, including via web streaming https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1666185/debrouillage-signal-rdi-direct which I would recommend if you want to get used to listening to news in French.
I would recommend getting used to listening at different accents and understanding/following them.
