What are the job duties?

Statistics Canada is looking for people who are able to solve problems, enjoy working as part of a team, and have great attention to detail.

In addition, you should be able to respond to requests by team members and be open to learning how to use various financial databases.

On top of that, you'll need to have be used to working in a team and be familiar with Microsoft Word and Excel.

You'll be required to provide at least two references. These can either be a supervisor from a previous job or someone from a school or volunteer group.

If you have any experience processing various financial-related transactions, using a travel management system in the public sector, or providing customer service, these may be assessed later.

In addition to these clerk jobs, Statistics Canada is hiring in numerous different positions related to the census.

Many of these require little to no previous experience, and in some cases, such as being an administrative assistant, a key requirement is just that you know how to use a mouse.
