Do you qualify for NL-1?

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume that clearly describes your relevant housekeeping and leadership experience
  • Proof of any preference you claim, such as a DD-214 for veterans or a marriage document for spouse preference
  • Transcripts only if you qualify through education

How you will be rated: Your resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers are reviewed to check if you meet the qualifications. If your experience appears overstated, you may lose consideration, and errors or missing items can affect your eligibility.

Tips for this job:

  • Make sure your resume clearly shows hotel or military lodging housekeeping work and any team leading you did, because vague entries may not count.
  • Upload all documents before the closing date, and remove other people's personal information from any military orders or marriage documents.
  • Re-select your resume and other files in the online application, since uploads can take hours to clear virus scan and an incomplete package is not considered.
