I'm pretty sure it's all email! They'll sort out interview times and dates first

I'm obviously missing something simple here, but in the interview form that has to be emailed back, what is the need to be assessed in English/Irish about?

paudy

Any clarification on whether its email or post?

paudy

Just spoke to PAS there is an issue with issuing times and we should have email in the next couple of days

I'd guess that'd be if you weren't graded on English or Irish in the LC but it's required to join AGS.

Waiting in anticipation for the interview date and familiarization material. Thanks for checking Paudy.

Got my date and time! At least I've a couple of weeks to prepare! ! Aagh...freaking out now haha! Did everyone get their info emails? I never realised how much info they require buy hey..The form filling will be so worth it (hopefully) 😀

I've passed stage 3 as well, but haven't got my interview details yet. I'm still waiting... and checking my email every 30 min, lol!

It's my first post here btw, so just wanted to say hi to all and wish you good luck!

Hi All,

Congrats to all through to interview. I was just looking through form B there and they ask for a ref from your school/college etc. I assume if your out of education this does not apply to you does it?? Also it asks for your partners family details. I am with my girlfriend 5 years but not engaged or anything. Do I need to provide her family detail do ye think??

Thanks

Can anybody here quickly clear up a part of interview form b.

Under the heading 'i need to be assessed in English/Irish(please specify)

Is it asking whether you need to be assessed on your English or Irish, because you don't have a qualification in one or the other(yes/no option) or is it an option to choose which to be assessed in ( answer English or Irish)?

EDIT:
Upon further review it appears to be a yes or no question for the languages.

I can't honestly remember but if this is the form you bring to the interview, just leave it blank and ask for clarification there. Before your interview you will speak to a sergeant from HRM who takes the form.

This is the cv type form that needs to be emailed back before the interview.

If you have done your leaving cert with Irish and English then you don't need to be assessed on it!

That you need to be assessed through the medium of either English or Irish.

As I said, I got that, I just wanted check were they looking for a yes or no answer, or irish or English as an answer.

Anyway I figured it out and it was cleared up here just incase, win win.

When did you guys appeal, are you in the 1200-1988 group? Did you hear back about appeal already?

ELJeff

Yup one of those questions, when asked Place of Birth? is it home address or maternity hospital that would be given?

I put down the city where the maternity hospital is based and it didn't seem to be an issue.

Only briefly looked at the message. Will look at it properly when i get home but i think its 2500

killer91

Just got the message myself there now.

Up to 2508 have been called up this the around.

Does anybody know if you can ask for a different appointment time.

Its just that it'll be difficult to get the time off with just a weeks notice.

mycro89

There can't be many left in band 1 now ?

killer91

Well I just scraped into the 2508.

I think there was 3100 in band 1 from stage 2, so there must be only one more group to be called up from band 1 stage 2.

About 592 left so in band 1 after this, not all will pass and some wont turn up on such short notice. Gives lads in stage 1 band 2 some bit of hope.

Anyone here on boards that knows a good day course that would help in preparation for stage 3 my daughter is doing it at the end of the month and anything that I thought would help her on this test we will try

It's just my personal opinion, but to be honest with you I don't see much point in taking such course, and here's why:

1. There's plenty of free online tests for both verbal and inductive reasoning tests and even more videos on youtube offering advice on how to tackle them. I found them very useful.

2. In relation to the report writing exercise - they won't teach her the correct spelling and punctuation on a day course if she's not good at it.

3. As for the job simulation tests, they're aimed to test one's ability to cope with situations you're likely to encounter when on job. I found them common sense really, not rocket science. In my opinion if somebody has difficulty passing them, it won't get any easier for him/her in future.

Anyway, if you are convinced that the course is well spend money, I'm sure someone here will be ready to recommend one to you.
Best of luck at the test, btw!

I done the career services prep course and found it wortwhile for stage 3, mostly focused on report writing and job simulation, there are job aptitude test apps available I'd recommend downloading one of those as well

cruais

Is there a link online for report writing?
