Haven't filled out the questionnaire yet but just wondering do u need to attach a CV?

Nope.

But they ask about length of experience in certain roles (customer service, admin, etc), so it'd be no harm to have your CV alongside you for reference if you need it.

Hi, just wondering before I fill out the questionnaire, does it take the full 50 mins or are you stuck for time?

Hi mayoboy55, I completed the questionnaire earlier on today. It took me about 35-40 minutes to complete. I didn't have to rush through the questions or anything so don't worry too much about time constraints.

Try tomorrow, if the same thing happens, then email them on the support page. However, my link didn't work at first, I copied and pasted the link into the web browser. Then it worked.

the waiting just kills me. Anybody have any idea what date they'll be starting interviews? I'm aware not everyone gets an interview, but just to have some idea when I can put it to the back of my mind until.

I was looking back on thread from last year think.page 20. Looked like 2/3 weeks wait to see did you get interview. Doubting myself for nothing putting great on everything. It's a pity we dont find out at end if we failed or passed

Has everyone received an email regarding questionnaire at this stage, because I haven't. I emailed support today.

Hi guys
It seems emails with ....@live.is its not working call them on 018587510 Just sorted mine with an alternative email if possible gmail

If you have a hotmail account and you didn't receive an email you need to contact the support team and they'll tell you how to add them to the safe mailing list and then they'll send the email again.

I have a hotmail email and I'm waiting for this email to come from public jobs. Who do you send the email to ?

Its just as handy to give them a ring. They pick up straight away, tell you what to do and send the email out to you with the link to the questionaire. Simples the numbers are the ones on the front of the booklet.

Roisin Christina

You need to call them first and they'll send you a support email to change your settings.

tonez

Thank You, I rang the number and they sent me the questionnaire straight away to a different email address.

imbroglio

Completed my application with no problems just this minute. No way of knowing if the answers I put down were correct. A waiting game at this stage! Best of luck to everyone else!

ciaramc

Just done the application. Sugar, I clicked too fast on the continue button for one of the pages, I know I should of selected another answer.

haro124

I don't remember anything like the 'rate the answers ' part last year. Seems far more like we're trying moving up from one position to another than just getting a short term contract !

bulmersgal

Deadline has been extended, I presume because of all the problems with hotmail addresses.

For candidates who have already submitted an application but who have not yet completed and
submitted the On Line Screening Questionnaire, the deadline has been extended
to midday Thursday 11th April 2013

Presume that will mean a delay in finding out if we successful for interviews :-/

Not necessarily, interviews might not happen for months, depending on when they need the staff.

Butterface

Okay, questionnaire completed.. I always finish those things with a feeling of self doubt!

To me the questions didn't seem suited to the role of a temp. I can't imagine them letting someone only there for a few weeks do up reports for the minister.

bangors85

I dunno im not confident at all now!! total shock to the system with those questions!!

Does anyone know when we will find out our results
