A Government of Canada job posting went viral Thursday for seeking individuals for "various administrative wizardry positions." The application is actually to be included in a pool of candidates for the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS), including permanent, acting and temporary positions. The Treasury Board job posting makes reference to the Hogwarts houses in the Harry Potter series to appeal to applicants. (Government of Canada Jobs)"This type of advertisement is an effort to stand out and promote the many employment opportunities in the public service," said TBS. The TBS provides advice and recommendations to the Treasury Board on how the government spends money on programs and services.
