I did the interview same place and around same time as you, did the aptitude test yesterday I wouldn't worry about it with your degree I'm sure you'll get a call this week or next week for the medical if not straight into the esb

Did my interview in athlone the first week of july. Was in there for 50 mins to an hour. Didn't get asked to resit the apptitude test and have not been called for a medical. Anyone in the same situation? Just think its unusual as the interview went well also the aptitude and I have an engineering degree already. They told me on the day I might not hear anything until the second week of August

The degree may work against you.
Hard to know, will be interesting to see.

Don't worry I'm not on the interview panel 😀

If I was I might put me off someone who graduates from an engineering degree and wants to become an apprentice at a time when the ESB sponsor apprentices to do the reverse. Anyway seeing as though they talked to you for so long it may be a good sign.

But do you have to pee in a cup go for a run or is it just eye and general health test ?

Pee in a cup for drug test, eye test, height and weight, have to do a breathing test, ear test, colour blind test and then the doctor checks you over like your hands, spine etc

Drug test (urine), Hearing, Lungs, Eye sight (colour vision/reading) then just a physical by the doctor checks you out.

jsno122

Anyone who resat the aptitude test in Sligo hear back for a medical ? Also for anyone who did re-sit a test and then Get called for a medical how long before you heard back about the medical after the test ?

FaintBum

It was about a month before I head about the medical! Has anyone been made any offers yet?

Did you have to re-sit your test or did you do it after the interview ?

FaintBum

I redid one section of the aptitude test immediately after the interview.

And did you just do you medical lately ? That sounds about right I'm hoping to hear some time this week and then offers in the next 2 weeks as they need to give 2 weeks notice or that before starting with the esb

FaintBum

Are you still awaiting a medical appointment? Make sure you don't take any drugs as they test your urine. If you're a shmoker then game over because I think that shtuff stays in your system for about 3 weeks.

I did my medical on Thursday gone. Any idea how long the average wait is after the medical?

jsno122

Anyone from cork here anything after interview

Ya still waiting did the test last Tuesday so not to worried yet, I did smoke but I've heard a lot of things like 11 days is loads I've been off it nearly 2 weeks and I'll be off it 3-4 before I have to do the medical so I'll be okay

I was told they wouldn't be getting back to me until mid august .. could be done something to do with where your from and where you will possibly be based? What part of the country are you from??

I'm from Wicklow you? I don't know could just been timing that you done it. It seemed to me most people who done the interview in Dublin did the aptitude test after the interview and are getting called for the medical.

I'd say you'll be called in the next week or two since they told you mid august.

Did my interview in athlone and didn't have any correspondence with them since the interview on July 6th? Anyone in same boat.?

FaintBum

They seem to be very quick corresponding in Dublin but a bit messier in other areas.. I wouldn't worry yet, I'm sure they'd be in touch even if it's to say no so hang in there.
