HAVE you ever gone back and spoke to that employment or is there bad water between ye now

If you think you are on talking terms with your old employer , approach them and explain the situation to them, and how they may be contacted about it as you want to be honest and put it on the form.
With any luck they may just tell the gardai it was an internal matter and nothing serious but for cosistency reasons had no choice but to let you go.
If you dont think you will get on too well and still want to tell the truth on the form. Write it down and say how you have learned a very valuable lesson from it etc., I don't think it would be a bar to your application but be prepared to discuss it at interview stage. Good luck with it!

Sound advice what haz said, dont lie or try to hide anything on the form. you dotn want it to come back on you in the long run.

But its up to you the end of the day if you wanna omit that time worked with a certain employer.

Yeah look dont be fretting about this. Put it down on your form and have your story ready for your interview. Everyone at some stage has stolen from an employer I dont care who you are. Taking a paperclip, posting a letter franked at work, 5 minutes late back after break etc. etc. .It's all stealing but so petty no one gives a s**te.
I would, whenever you're asked, say it was an item worth a tenner and they made an example of you and you were guilty and respect their position and have learned from a silly mistake and paid dearly for it and because of it you are a better person.
This will not affect your application so don't be worrying.

Good for us who are waiting on PCT's etc to know that the dreaded "freeze" was only a sales tactic by HQ to get us to sign up for May intake eh Haz?

We can relax and enjoy the summer now :cool:

This is my first time. I can see from some of the post's that a few of you guys have applied before. Can you tell me how far you got or what you think the hardest part is??

I dont know where to start......

Have a read through the last 100 pages of the big garda recruitment thread. Some excellent advice in there.
Im at the medical stage at the minute, a lot of posters on here are at that stage, or else have passed everything and are waiting on background checks to clear.
Its hard to say what the hardest part is, everyone is different. Personally I found the waiting the hardest part. Waiting on results of aptitude/interview/date for medical/background checks.
You really need patience for it.!

hey widget. this is my third time going for it. failed the interview the first time and then failed the medical last time. the interview is by far the hardest but i wouldnt worry about that til stage 1 is over . stage 1 is not that easy so just stay focused on 1 stage at a time.

pvt.joker

What did you fail the medical on last time soundlad if thats ok to ask?

my bmi was to high so working on getting it down now

widget64

Thanks for the advice lads.

BMI is a bit of a farce and they cant really judge it that well so just be aware of it this time around. If you are athletic your bmi is will be high!

you appear confused by my post...no mention of me saying 'candidate'

oh and...lol

Well as the saying goes, (third time lucky) hopefully this time I will get through.

its great to finally get it started, i assume that this is aimed for november intake?

Hi all.

Good luck to everyone who applied this twist. I applied for the last drive, but due to conflicting commitments with exams, I wasn't able to actually attend the assessment. The wording on publicjobs.ie signals that there should be no problem with my application on this occasion (even though it falls within the six month breach). However, any feedback would be welcome.

I'd say so. There would only be a month from doing the aptitude tests before the next intake would start so I'd say majorty of people would be for November.

woohoo

OMG I am so excited!!!! First time applying so fingers crossed!

Good luck to everyone! YAHOO!!!

GL with everyone starting their process, oct seems so far away now for me.

Hi

Hope this is the right thread to ask this, I'm 31 myself and have always wanted to be a garda. The only reason I didn't try and join is that I have a very nice home at the moment with my girlfriend and now have a 6 month old son, and I am afraid that after the training (of course I'm being very presumptious of getting in in the 1st place ) I would be relocated in a different part of the country. I've worked hard to build my house mortgage free and just wouldn't really want to start all over again with that. I know I'd have to start again in the salary scale and that but I still have it in me to try and join. I hate my job at the moment (technician) and have always seen this repect in the garda and the job satisfaction you must get out of doing this job. I suppose my question is, is there anybody here, older person maybe that has worked for a few years, maybe married with kids even, and taken the pludge and not regreted it? Do the GS now maybe relocate 30-40 miles from your homeland? Thanks

onthebeat

Hey guys. Have people got a date for the aptitude or what?

I registered to be notified in march when the next drive was coming up. Thats all i know.

i got an email today saying to apply now. When i click on that it is just a blank page, i cant fill in any info, this happen for anybody?
