Ah, at stage 0 at the moment:D
Say I'll be waiting a while for the next recruitment, just working away in the meantime!What about yourself?

There are Reserve interviews going on at the moment so I'd say that is what it is.

Ah yea,I'm all set up on publicjobs, thanks:D
Travelling would definitely be something I'm thinking about, am on contract with my job untill sept so depending on what happens then, I might head off:D
Have a couple of friends who are down in templemore at mo and know a few guards around the area so if I'm ever lucky enough to get as far as interview stage, I will be hassling them for tips!:P
I'd say it would be worth doing the prep courses for the interview alright!

hi guys sorry if this seems silly but have been trying to look up info on the scenario you get asked about in the interview cant seem to find any garda information on publicjobs.ie, but from reading through these threads alot seem to say "do not forget what you wrote about in your real life scenarios" because they seem to ask about them alot, what i want to know is... when do you right about these scenarios??

There are certain things that cannot be discussed in the forum. Read the charter for further information.

That is after you apply for a competition and sucessful in the apptitude test .Your asked about scenario's where you showed a certain skill i.e leadership, decision making, etc. You have to fill in examples in your application where you used those skills for them to gain a better understanding of what your like

thanks for reply, sorry psni but was not trying to cause trouble but was just curious to find out at what stage this scenario thing happens? What do you mean apply for a competition? is the scenario test done so on a different day?

I don't mean to sound rude but, have a good read of all the material on here in the different threads and you will have a better idea of all the questions you are asking.
The whole process of applying for AGS is called a competition, from start to finish.:)

sitja

ok thank you.

Hi, Can anyone explain the Verbal Reasoning element in stage 2? Reading back through the thread there has been talk of Chinese and Polish options in the test. I'm sorry 'cause this is probably a daft question but does that mean this test has to be completed in a different language? Are there any good websites or books to refer to for practise?

It means what would be the best way to deal with a certain person/situation. Straight forward really..

I have asked this in the other interview thread but the main action seems to be here so I will ask here also.
The report writing, is there a structure you are taught before you write the report. Is it a standard structure or are you to write the report in the way you think is clear and concise. I'm not sure if I am asking for too much information here or whether you can talk about it but thanks if you can, apologies if you can't.

Hi Amy, this thread is quite old and we have newer ones for Stage 2 here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057148530&page=68 you may get a better reaponse there.

I'll close this so there's no overlap or confusion
