Applying for Careers at NAIT

Yes, you can! When you're finished submitting your first application, click the "back to openings" button to go to a complete list of our current job opportunities. Once there, look for the next position you want to apply for and click on the job. Follow the same steps to apply as you previously did.

Tip: Don't forget to update your cover letter.

After the competition closes, your application is forwarded to the selection committee for review. Shortlisted applicants will generally be contacted within 1 to 3 weeks after the posting closes. We will only contact successful candidates.

There is no guarantee that the selection committee will accept late applications, but if the closing date has passed you can call us at 780.471.7466 to find out. It's always best to make sure you apply before midnight on the closing date.

We updated our system to a new, mobile-friendly version in June. You’re no longer required to create a profile. Simply upload your resume and cover letter, enter your personal information and you can apply within minutes. 

If you need to update your resume, cover letter or any information you previously submitted for a job posting, you will need to reapply for that same position using the same email address you provided the first time.

Your previous application will be deleted and your new submission will be saved, so please make sure you re-submit all of the information required.

Because of the large volume of applications that we receive, we ask that you wait until you hear from us. If you're shortlisted, you'll have an opportunity to ask questions about the position at that time.

We receive a high volume of applications for many of our positions. Unfortunately, this means that only the best candidates will be shortlisted by the selection committee and contacted for an interview. This usually takes between 1 to 3 weeks.

We need to be able to open the document on our end, so we ask that you submit a resume and cover letter in either .pdf, .doc or .docx format. You can also use any of the other accepted file formats: .rtf, .txt, .odf, .jpg, .bmp and .gif. The maximum file size is 5MB.

If this isn't possible, please contact us at 780.471.7466 to make alternate arrangements.

Note: Your original file can't contain hyperlinks or macros.

You will be asked to submit a resume each time you apply to a job. We recommend including a cover letter, and generally these are customized to a specific position.

We strongly recommend including the job ID of the position you're applying for in your cover letter and in the file name of your attachment.

All positions listed on our Career Opportunities page are still open. Sometimes there is no closing date because we're hiring multiple positions on an ongoing basis. Other positions might be open longer because we're looking for specialized skills that can be difficult to find.

All positions are posted for a minimum of 5 days. Some positions that are hard to fill or that require multiple candidates will often stay open longer.

Make sure you check the closing date on each posting and submit your application before midnight on the closing date to make sure your application is considered.

Resumes are kept in our system for a minimum of 1 year. However, if a position you're interested in is reposted we encourage you to submit an updated resume and cover letter.

We're happy to hear you'd like to work with us! Unfortunately, we don't currently accept general applications. Please apply to specific positions posted. We hope something of interest comes up soon.

Yes! We encourage you to share jobs with family and friends. At the bottom of each posting you'll see links to share on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. You can also right-click on the posting to save a copy or simply copy the link and share with a friend.

If you're shortlisted for a position, you will generally be contacted within 1 to 3 weeks after the posting closes.

When you're contacted for an interview you will be given all the details you need, including the location, time of interview and where to park.

Most positions use panel-style interviews, meaning you'll be interviewed by several people including 1 person from Human Resources. We usually rely on behavioural interview questions that require you to pull relevant examples from your prior work experience.

Some of our positions require additional formal and/or informal interviews to assess fit.

Depending on the position, we might use different screening tools during the recruitment process. This may include a written or hands-on assignment specific to the job you're applying for.
