    I feel silly asking, but does anyone have a link to the info booklet that we got before applying ? I can't find the document anywhere.

    Do people through to the next round not just get a date for interview?

    Yay I made it through I'm absolutely delighted . I've jumped from the top 350 considerably and done quite well but didn't make the top 100 that there calling first. So pleased that I did quite well .

    I'd imagine there will be people who might not make it through the interview or medicals(not that I'm wishing they didn't ) and if so they'll call the next batch of those to fill the current positions and those in the future .

    Those who made it through the top 100 many many congratulations . Wish you all the best of success through the next stage at interview you'll do great my fingers are crossed for you all . Here's hoping I'll see you soon enough ha .

    No, they send out multiple forms which you need to fill out and hand in before a certain date then they send out another set of forms with your interview date, your randomly assigned number and the names of the 3 interviewers on it. Assuming they do it the same way as the ff competition.

    Anyone got an idea of when the interviews will be ? And if they are starting in a few weeks ( the middle of June) anyone know if they are accomodating if you have holidays booked ?

    No clue about the dates but it was clear from the ff interviews that if you couldn't make your date no accommodation would be made. It might be a bit different this time with a quarter of the number going to interview so it would be best to ask.

    What's the odds of them taking another 100 to interview

    The odds of them not filling the panel from the current 100 are very slim. I'm not sure how many spots are open but even if another 30 jobs opened up they would probably give them to the people from the original 100 who didn't get the initial jobs before starting another round of interviews. But that is just what I think would happen and I don't pretend to know the inner workings of PAS or the DFB management.

    I would agree with this. If you're not in the top 100, I'm certain that the competition is over for you. My condolences to anyone in that position.

    Yeah i cant see them using anymore. The fact they are using only 100 for the next stage tells me there will only be a few jobs to start. And a pannel of a few more. My prediction will be about 8 to the first class then about 24 on the panel in total.

    If they are the same forms, then it's original long form birth cert and original education certificate. You also needed multiple recent passport photos. I might have missed something but the forms are clear and you have a week or two to hand it in.

    I think it was just birth cert and leaving cert. I'll get the letter out when I go home.

    I wonder if someone with a leaving cert would get preference over someone with a junior cert, or would it purely be based on the interview

    It depends on the person. If one candidate has a leaving cert with all higher level A's and another has a junior cert but has been a retained ff with multiple years experience I know who I'd pick.

    Yeah you would certainly hope! Surely they'd take copies would they? Or do they expect you to post off originals?

    You post the originals with the app form and they return them by registered post.

    I only have junior cert and I made the panel. So based on that I think it depends on how well you interview.
