Is there a central place where I can send my resume to be considered for future job openings that suit my qualifications?

No, you must apply to each job posting individually. You can subscribe to our Career Alerts to be notified of new job opportunities that fit the criteria that you choose.

What kind of references will I need to provide if selected for an interview?

If you are selected for an interview, you will need to provide at least three (3) professional/employer references, preferably those in a supervisory or managerial position. Students and new residents of Canada may provide academic references.

What if I need an accommodation at an interview or during the recruitment process?

Although we appreciate all applications, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

Do I need to have a Police Check to apply to a job?

Certain jobs at the County of Lambton do require a valid Criminal Record Check and may require a Vulnerable Sector Check, however, you do not need to submit a Police Check to apply to a job. If the job requires a Police Check, this will be asked of you later in the hiring process.

If I have a criminal record, does this mean that I won't be considered?

We ask this question as one of our pre-screening questions when you apply to a job. Please answer this question honestly. If a criminal record exists it does not automatically exclude your application. All applications are reviewed by the hiring team.

Will answering No to the pre-screening questions exclude my application?

Typically no. The pre-screening questions are an initial screening of the job applications, however they do not typically exclude your application from being considered. All job applications are reviewed by the hiring team. A case where an application may not be able to be considered when pre-screening questions are answered with a No, is when the question is asking for a bona fide occupational requirement, meaning the skill/qualification is mandatory for the position and those without it cannot be hired.

Who do I address my cover letter to?

We recommend addressing your cover letter to the hiring team, including the department of the position you are applying for. For example: Hiring Team, Public Health Services.
