Video: Become a professional buyer

This video features some of the different types of items professional buyers purchase for the federal government.

Transcript of the Become a Professional Buyer

The screen opens with the narrator looking to the audience and begins saying:

“Did you know that there are jobs in the Government of Canada that allow you to buy all kinds of items?”

As the narrator says “items” the screen shifts to show the narrator next to a guard and a dog who is sitting in-between both. The narrator then points down to the dog as the dog makes a noise, and says:

“We bought him.”

Music begins to play in the background – the video then shifts to the next scene where the narrator is standing beside a police officer. The narrator looks to his left to the police officer, and touches the shoulder on her uniform saying:

“We bought this.”

The narrator then turns his head to the police officer, as the screen moves out. The narrator then points down to the gun that the police officer is carrying in her belt and says:

“And this.”

The screen moves out even further to show a police car right next to the narrator. The narrator then uses both hands to point to the police car and says:

“And this!”

The next scene shows the narrator in a lab with another character. The character is on the left side of the screen and the narrator enters from the right. The narrator sits next to the character who is using a microscope. The narrator then points at the microscope and whispers:

“We bought this.”

The character looks up from her microscope and looks at the narrator disgruntled. The character and the narrator then exchange a look of confusion. The character then continues to look through the microscope as the narrator looks at the screen and smiles.

The video then switches to a shot of the narrator standing on a helicopter pad outdoors. A helicopter is hovering beside the narrator on the left side of the screen, and the narrator uses both hands and points to the helicopter and says:

“We bought this!”

The video switches to the scene in the lab again, the narrator looks at the microscope, sees a spot that is dirty, and uses his finger to clean it. The character then looks up at the narrator more disgruntled.

While this is happening a voice over simultaneously begins saying:

“Become a professional Buyer. The government of Canada is now recruiting.”

“The screen moves up to a grey background with canada.ca/jobs” on the screen. The voice over continues and says:

“Visit our website for more information and to apply.”

The Government of Canada logo appears after and the video ends.
