Hiring Q (Canada) CSC CX-1 CANADA

• Upvotes

CX-01 process — got the fingerprinting invitation today. How do I know if I passed the psych eval and the security screening? How much longer is the process from here?

Hi everyone,

I'm in the national CX-01 correctional officer process and I'd like to hear from people who went through it.

My timeline so far:
- Psychological assessment interview with Calian: September 28
- Today (October 15): I received the email saying my application has moved to the reliability and security screening step, with the fingerprinting form to book an appointment

Two questions:

  1. Does getting the fingerprinting invitation mean I passed the psychological evaluation? And for the security screening itself — do they actually notify you when it's cleared, or do you only find out when the next step gets scheduled?

  2. Roughly how much longer is the process from this point (fingerprinting → security screening → medical → pool → CTP invitation)? Am I still looking at several months? I'm a full-time student, so I'm trying to plan ahead.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

General Qs How do I start enforcing this without pissing everyone off?

33 Upvotes

I’m a newer CO and I’ve been letting inmates stay up later and watch TV if they were being quiet and not causing problems.

Now supervision is telling me I need to shut it down earlier.

The problem is I’ve already been letting them do it, so I know I’m gonna get the “you always let us before” stuff.

What’s the best way to start enforcing it now without making it a bigger issue than it needs to be?

Hiring Q (State) Need information

1 Upvotes

I have recently applied for an administrative role at NYS DOCCS. They had asked me for a degree evaluation as my degrees are from a foreign nation. I submitted them the evaluation report and asked the hr if she has received the report and she has replied saying yes they have received it. There are few questions I have in mind.

First, they require 2 years of experience for that role and I have that from a different country. There’s an experience I have from the year 2016 and I don’t have any documentation for that job. It was at an international bank. I still have onboarding and orientation emails from 2016. Will this cause any problem or do they have some ways of contacting the HRs in the company??

Second, I also have a year experience in a language documentation project which was not salaried. What details do they confirm during the reference check??

They have asked for my degree evaluation report does that mean I will get a call for an interview??

Hello people, can someone that uses glasses please tell me how rough is to get the job if you use glasses? I have my appointment on the 27 for the NYS DOCCS, I can see well without the glasses but only at short distances, the only problem is that my vision is blurry when something is far away…
