Want to work for the Treasury Board of Canada? You may want to brush up on your Harry Potter knowledge.

BԪַVarious administrative wizardry positionsBԪַ are open at the Treasury BoardBԪַs administrative arm .

The jobs pay well BԪַ $57,430 to $61,877 BԪַ as long as youBԪַre willing to use the departmentBԪַs BԪַsorting hatBԪַ to be placed on the right team.

Tongue-in-cheek, the posting asks applicants if they are a Gryffindor (brave, loyal courageous and adventurous), Ravenclaw (wise, creative, clever and knowledgeable), Hufflepuff (hard working, dedicated, fair and patient) or Slytherin (resourceful, ambitious, determined and craves leadership), referring to the four BԪַhousesBԪַ in the popular series by J.K. Rowling.

The administrative branch calls itself the BԪַHogwartsBԪַ of federal public service. Under the contact information section, its inventory team calls itself BԪַDumbledoreBԪַs Army.BԪַ

The department provides advice and recommendations to ministers on how the government spends money on programs and services.
