It makes the application process decidedly unfair and very much in favour of the internal applicant.

Applying for government jobs instantly gives you a sense of the ridiculous beaurocracy you are hoping to join & do great work for. Red tape & routine only encourages red tape and routine. We need & should want dynamic, helpful, creative and conscientious workers filling government roles. The current system fuels more jobs for friends in government. They know how to navigate the "system". Surely our tax dollars demand we select the best applicant for the job??

This irrelevant and discriminatory nonsense has been plaguing our public service employment culture for far too long. Please let us know the government's response, and ultimate result.

The position was filled internally - why advertise it as open?
