@AlexBenay I'm a curios person. I want to know what this opportunity is. So I followed this link (as you do...) and I want to now share my experience... Which I'm hoping you're already aware of.... and this is the project that #CodeForCanada is going to tackle... but humour me for a thread
@AlexBenay So apparently I need to log in... gah... do I have an account? I don't really want to log in just to read a job add... but fine... I can create an account. 
@AlexBenay Well... that's not very welcoming.... but I work in gov... so I get it... we have to say this thing about privacy... TL;DR
@AlexBenay This is actually the 4th screen I've been on. Not step 2. But I forge onward... but now I need to say what date I'm AVAILABLE ?!?!?!? I just want to read the posting... It feels like I really need to make a commitment at this point! I want out...
@AlexBenay Oh and now this thing... couldn't you ask me that later? I don't know what this stuff is so presumably it doesn't apply to me. I'm super annoyed at this point but "In for a penny"... Based on sunk costs now I REALLY need to read this posting.
@AlexBenay Okay so this is starting to feel like a relationship. I just want to see the add. and REGION of Nova Scotia. What the actual F*** is the difference if I'm on mainland NS or Cape Breton?!?!?!?
@AlexBenay Seriously. Are you doing a background check on me or am I looking at a job ad? It's starting to feel a bit like I went in for a flu shot and found myself in an invasive scoping procedure. SKIP (even if there was another address)
@AlexBenay Okay... does this mean you'll call me? Also it's WAY past step 5... but at least I know there are only a few more (fingers crossed?)
@AlexBenay GAHHHHH.... okay so now I totally get this step... but for a second i thought it was already sent... BUT NO.... i have to click CONTINUE one more time.... and hopefully it won't take TWO DAYS.
@AlexBenay Much to my surprise (and delight?) the email did come fairly promptly...
@AlexBenay and when I clicked on the first link i found... because TL;DR... it was a french screen... oops... i guess french language at the top of the email is default because ?????
@AlexBenay But I persevered and found the english log in... and logged in... But where is the job? i just wanted to read the job posting from Alex? Oh hevens... back to twitter... now that I'm logged in I should be able to click the link...
@AlexBenay Which I did...
@AlexBenay and so... it is with the utmost respect that I share this experience, so that it can be made better.
It has to be better.
The future of our public service (and our democracy) relies on the recruitment of amazing people.
And it shouldn't be this HARD.
