alright lads

i've my interview next week,doing the report writing in the morning and the actual interview in the afternoon.i've booked a hotel 10 mins away from chapter house(its on tablot street if you know where that is).my question is would i have enough time to change if i want to wear something comfortable in the morning and go back to the hotel change into suit before the interview,and im thinking of wearing tracksuit and hoody in the morning,would that be too informal? cheers.

and best of luck to those starting tomorrow,i envy you all.:D

I reckon you will have loads of time. You will certainly feel more relaxed for the written tests but be prepared for everyone looking at you thinking " Is your man havin@ a f**king laugh or what?"............:D

"Hello everyone.

Moving ahead with the development of this forum, we will be closing off the massive Garda & PSNI Recruitment threads soon, and replacing them with individual threads for each part of each organisation's recruitment process.

This is as a result of feedback we have received regarding the threads becoming repetitive and unmanageable. Hopefully, what we have planned will make information more accessible and we will see less of the same questions being asked over and over.

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions. If anyone has anything else they would like to see in the ES fora, please let us know.

not a bad idea, seperate threads for each phase. Might stop all of the repeat questions.

+ 1, this thread became a bit of a chore to read through. I was trying to start a separate thread for the interview only, but the idea didn't really take off. Hopefully mods' support will make a difference.

So now that the May intake has passed, they might start focusing on medicals/PCTs for people from Batch 1/Batch 2.
Any phonecalls today?

The next recruitment drive is rumoured to be starting in May, some people say this week even.

However, you need to wait 6 months from your last application, so you will have to wait for the next recruitment drive,possibly November. Pain in the a** but thems the rules :rolleyes:

Ralph = Ralph_Lauren, aka The_Detective, the OP of this thread. He disappeared in a puff of smoke before he went off to join the PSNI.

Dr_MaSoN

I was waiting seven days for mine but I think the norm is 10 days with some people taking up to 14! Sorry if that's a bit vague but it's how it happens. I would imagine for you it should be by this friday.

Howdy all,

Haven't been on all weekend, just after reading through all those pages, WOW!!

Congrats to everyone who started today, hopefully they will have loads to tell us this Friday???

Anybody hear anything on Meds or PCT's for June???

When is this thread closing?

*Also would it be possible to sticky the closed threads for anyone brave enough to read through all 800 odd pages* - Just a thought!!!!!
