I have still heard nothing from ESB since the middle of May when I got an email saying " we are currently shortlisting for the next stage in the recruitment process. We will be in contact with you shortly". anyone else the same?

I know some people have gotten a date for interview and others got an email weeks ago saying they hadn't gotten any further. Don't know why we haven't heard anything. Wud just love to know at this stage.... Stop me guessing.

Got my interview for the 22nd of June up in Dublin. Anyone have any advice on the how the interview goes? or common questions they like to ask? I've never had an interview with a panel of people

In the interview just make sure you know how to wire a plug and that you're not afraid of heights

That's fine you only have to have done the junior cert and be over 16

Does it say that in the email ? How to wire a plug

AshleighClaire

I never got any topics or anything like that in the email, all I got was one example of a question they might ask about past work.

Yeah same as me, never said anything about wiring a plug just normal interview questions

As its for an electrical apprenticeship does that mean if you got it you'd be trained as a linesman or which electrical section would it be, electrician ?

You'll be trained as an electrician and do normal off job in an IT as like all other electricians and end up with a fetac electricians cert (level 6 advanced) But along with being trained in that area, you will also be trained in lines, cable jointing, HV station work and operating the network/fault hunting. You will be trained in these areas both on the job in 3 month rotations between different departments, and in the training school in Portlaoise, which you'll also spend quite a bit of time in

Best of luck to all in the interviews!!!!!

I just replied to the last email I received from them. I didn't get any info from them on my application, I'll just have to wait. I'm presuming that since the interviews are being held next week that I didn't get through.

If u read back through this thread there are a few posts from last year where people gave advice on what issues to cover.They mentioned safety and team work are very important. You could Google it and you may be able to find the posts.

Best of luck with the interview.

Any one who had an interview what questions were asked? Any help would be appreciated?

jsno122

dnk123

Hi. I don't have interview date yet but will hopefully get one soon. I doubt anyone will come on here and tell us the questions. It's a competition after all. They would be putting themselves at a big disadvantage. Just my opinion

I don't know the questions, but have experience with the company. Safety is massive at the moment, so stress safety and following procedures

Everything has gone rather quite here😊
