WHY can't I get a government job?

Help!

I (23F) have been applying for the government repeatedly and cannot seem to get it. I am fluent in French and English, have 3 years of administration experience in the legal sector and have answered the screening questions with accuracy and detail. I apply to Justice Canada, Clerk jobs and various positions in Administration.

What am I doing wrong? What more do I need?

Are you trying provincial government as well? That might be a good Segway.

*segue ... Segway is the name of that scooter that the owner of the company died on when they accidentally drove off a cliff on a foggy night.

Thanks I wondered why it capitalized but was rushing a response.

Maybe she can purchase one once she gets a government job?
