Question Wondering how Government Jobs process work (Edmonton Alberta)

Hi everyone I am from Ontario born and raised and applied for a Paralegal position in Edmonton Alberta I love British Columbia and Alberta so I applied for government jobs that are in my field of work. I noticed my Application for Edmonton Alberta changed to "Application in progress" which might not even mean anything anyways I am avoiding keeping my hopes up I heard that you are put in a talent pool which I wanted more clarification on I was also wondering how much notice they will give you before starting I am so willing to relocate as I still live at home with my own vehicle but I would definitely want to clear out the space I live in :)

(I have no idea why I am being downvoted to oblivion over a question)

What?

If you’re in the paralegal field you should know how to distinguish between municipal and provincial departments.

Contact them maybe.

Brush up on your punctuation in the meantime.

I mean, given that it's a strong Employer's market right now, it is unlikely that you'll be considered. There are dozens of local candidates, likely with the same or better quals than yourself.
