Temporary Clerical Positions in the Public Service

Phantasos

I got a text to let me know I had a message on the publicjobs website.

I'd say they are doing it in phases... in fairness they do tend to keep everyone informed. So hold tight for a little longer!

Still naught from Kildare.

If you are on the reserve do you realistically have no chance?

Mycroft H

Got the Reserve list there for Kildare. Little bit disappointed as I was hedging bets on getting a little bit of work out of it.

Guys is the reserve just the nice way of rejecting your application

Not necessarily people got jobs out of it last year.

Gutted I got reserve, would do anything to gain employment in this country

Paul Dar

It's hard to know about the reserve, But I wonder does being in the top group mean you are going to get an interview? Anyone hearing anything from Longford? Any word on when interviews are?

SureYWouldntYa

Gutted, got reserve list for Donegal. I just knew I wouldnt get top group this year. Got in the last 2 years on Top group.

Is there just two categories? Top group and reserve? or does anyone get told they werent accepted?

Its pure pot luck.
This is what I know for a fact,Mrs A is currently working as a TCO and was called from the reserve panel last time round.
Mrs A's husband was on the first panel last time round and never got called even for interview.
Mrs A(currently working as TCO) got text today stating she met standard once again-even though she has no knowledge of computers.
Mr B is working with Mrs A(currently as a TCO) has a good working knowledge of computers and hand on heart is more suited to current TCO
job that Mrs A yet has not been called for this years panel.Anybody can fill out an online application.Congratulatiions to those who have met this years standard and to those who have not don't be down hearted.

I'd be surprised if that was true tbh.

Reserve. Same as last year. Had no text or email. Just logged into public jobs myself.

The truth is often surprising.
And as I said I know it is a fact.

Anyone (or know anyone) who got on the reserve list last year or in the last few years, did you get called for an interview? and did you get the job? Just want to know how hopeful it is getting in on reserve list. Thanks.

Ps: Also if it was in the Donegal group or not.

Postgrad10

If you read over this thread people on reserve list got called for interview

Munster region people have got jobs from reserve ahead of people from
first panel.

Got reserve for Dublin having got top band last few years. Not too worried have temp job at moment and might be called later in year and have holidays booked which I put on application so that might also have something to do with it. I know a few people who go called from reserve over last couple of years.

I wouldn't. I worked with someone (both TCO's) who didn't even know how to right align an address in a letter. Shocking incomptence and she got on last years top band and another long term contract (has since been sacked for gross misconduct).

People on the Reserve, don't fret. I got on the Reserve last year. Called for interview in December (others on the Reserve called earlier but my contract at the time didn't finish til December) and was offered a 6 month contract from it.

Correct Montrose. People on reserve group will not get any jobs.

Nice to hear, a bit of hope to cling onto.
