The Hiring Process

Submit Your Application

To apply for a job, find a current opportunity or future opportunity you're interested in, and click Apply at the bottom of the page. You'll be asked for the following information:

  • Your personal details and contact information.
  • Your employment history and job skills.
  • A copy of your cover letter and resume (you'll be asked to copy and paste a text-only version of your cover letter and resume into the application).
  • Any relevant transcripts, certifications, and reference letters, if applicable (these can be uploaded as attachments).

Once you click Submit, you'll receive an email confirming we've received your application. If you don't receive an email, check your junk or spam folder. If it's not there, please call us at 306.777.4220 to confirm your application was received.

If you're applying for a current job posting, you'll be considered for that specific job. If applying for future opportunities, your resume will be entered into our database for future consideration when opportunities become available. We'll keep your resume in our database for a maximum of 6 months.

The Application Process

After the job posting closes, all applications are reviewed and evaluated based on skills, education, and experience. You may be invited to take further steps in the application process. Check your email regularly. Depending on the position, next steps could involve a few additional questions over the phone, or it may require you to complete additional online assessments.

It may take anywhere from two to six weeks after the closing date before you're contacted. Only candidates moving on to the next phase of the hiring process will be contacted.

Your Interview

If you're among the most qualified candidates, we'll contact you to arrange an interview. We want to know how you fit with our culture and business goals.

If you haven't already provided proof of your educational credentials and a list of two or three supervisory references from your most recent places of employment, please bring them along with you to your interview.

How to Prepare

During your behavioral interview, a panel of two to three interviewers will ask you to describe how you handled specific situations in the past, as this is considered the best predictor of your future performance.

Be prepared to share examples that highlight your strengths. These examples can be from work, school, volunteer experience, or extracurricular activities.

Your answers should follow the STAR approach:

  • Situation: Provide details of the specific event.
  • Task: Expalin your responsibility in that situation.
  • Action: Describe how you accomplished the task.
  • Result: State the outcome and impact of your actions.

Other Helpful Tips

  • Conduct research on SaskTel. A good place to start is right here on our website.
  • Be specific and focus on your individual actions. Avoid using "we" statements, as they don’t clearly demonstrate your personal role in the situation.
  • If you don't understand a question, ask for clarification.
  • Take your time to think about your answer.
  • Dress appropriately and avoid wearing scented products.
  • If you're interviewing virtually, test your equipment beforehand, and find a quiet space. Please note that recording the interview with any device or software tool is not allowed.
