Does anyone know how long after the closing date for expressions of interest it is before offers are sent out?

Just adding up the positiions that have been advertised since this panel went live, this 30 brings it to 111.

(that doesnt include what was left over from previous panel, also there may have been people higher up on panel who didnt take offer before and who may do so now but it gives a ball park figure)

About a week or little less you should get an offer after EOI, however in the previous classes, they have offered half the class a place within <7 days and the other half of class a place about another 7 days after the first lot of offers, hope that helps

Hi all, just wondering if anyone who has started in any of the most recent classes can give any feedback on how you are getting on? Is the training what you expected? Is there anything you would have done before starting to make you more prepared for the training?
I will hopefully get called in the next class so just want to know what I should be doing to prepare for it! Thanks in advance.

Parafox

Any news of another class being started soon?

The application is like any normal job application where you have worked school etc the rest is as you say the competency based bit They are like short essays u write about a scenario where u think you showed an ability to meet the competency eg team work, working under pressure that kind of stuff you write a example of how you have shown this and they will ask you questions on what you have wrote in the interview

There's parking in Aldi but you have to pay for it you can buy tickets which entitle you to so many entries and exits. If you are staying in the Maldron you can park your car there for free and walk up

This panel was disbanded back in June. As they could not get the numbers required for a ballinasloe class. They then ran another recruitment campaign to form a new panel.
If your still interested they have just advertised a campaign in the last 2 days.

I had an email back to say they notified me of the panel expiring back in April but I couldn't find it when I looked. Don't think I will go through it again, moved on in another direction now thanks for the reply.
