Being a bit more encouraging to those who actually want to join the Public Service would be a good start.

As in being a bit more uniform when it comes to
sending out rejection letters. Some Ministries
do that, while others don't. it gets to be annoying when you eagrly wait for a response and never get one. gets to the point where spending time in applying is a waste.

If someone shows an interest in a Ministry's mandate that someone should be encouraged to
apply or at least see where that person would fit
if there's an upcoming vacancy.

this is beyond bizarre. even while government appears to be concerned about recruitment issues, excellent staff with years of experience, at least at mcfd, are being fired and many, many staff still there, are not being confirmed in their positions.

this "marketing campaign" will do nothing to "boost pride and morale" given what we are experiencing ourselves and seeing being done to our colleagues.

it's talk without the walk, something we've experienced far too much of this past year.
