I don't think mine have received any call as of yet - have yours?

None of mine have been either, the interviews end tomorrow. Was wondering if there was any of the references called would look like a good sign. The nerves are kicking in

avm88

To be fair I don't think any references have been contacted in the past before the results were issued and I don't think they will contact them any differently this time.

Here's hoping that we get our results before Christmas!

They dont contact the references until you are through to stage 5 after you have the meeting with your local sergeant as he/she will be the one doing that. Be warned if your current employer does not know you are in this competition you may want to tell them as they will be contacted. Good luck !

My current employer was never contacted and my file is finnished and sent back to hrm. Mention it during interview with sgt if you would prefer them not to be. Im sure they will understand

Leo1986

Anybody have any ideas when the results will be out? Hoping for early next week, can't take the waiting !

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't tell us anything until March going by when past intakes heard back.

We got results after 3 weeks

Leo1986

Looking at previous posts on this thread there have been results out a week after the last interview dates

Ya i was on second day of 2 weeks of interviews and results wer out a week after last interview. So i had nearly 3 week wait. Ye should have them soon. Maybe tommorro

Leo1986

Think the 16th was last day for interviews but not sure about Irish stream from what I heard they still on going ? The wait is a killer going out of the interview I felt confident but last few weeks have just been analysing every micro detail!

They're hardly going to take us altogether in January over a few weeks? Nobody will know for sure till after Christmas probably but who knows that could change

That'd be my guess too. Ya never know what way it's going to go

thekopend

All our group should have medicals done since 11th of december which was the last day of medicals for us. 20th might be a date for pct

tara321

I've just got a message from public jobs saying I'm been called for an interview on January 12th so nervous, literally just past my appeal sitting for section 3.

If you have the familiarization material then brush up on the 6 competencies that are mentioned. They want you to demonstrate ability in each competency in a real world environment.

forevergreen

Thanks for that RumHam, how long after the interview did people hear back, positive or negative?

I was waiting 3 long weeks but I think I was first or second day of interviews so I was waiting longer than people who were the last days. I think they do the interviews in blocks over 2 or 2 & half weeks

thekopend

2 weeks after the last interview it was for my batch. I was waiting over three weeks as i was on second day of interviews

RumHam

Took 3 weeks for me as well but things move quick enough after that

Kerrygirl90

I had my interview the last day on December 16th and got the results on December 22nd so I had a very short wait! All depends on what date you get for the interviews..

LadyLucinda

Could anybody on here tell me the competencies for the interview? Thanks

Hi folks,

Just wondering when is the reference checking carried out with former employers etc?

Is it after the interview, or the medical/PCT?

Am I right in thinking the medical/PCT can take place with three or four weeks of interviews?

Reference checking wil take place after interview. Just b4 ur interview you will hand ur vetting form(form b) as its known to a person from hrm and u will sign it saying all info is correct and upto date. Your vetting will start at ur local station and ur sergeant will carry out reference checking. Depending on how good you do at interview your medical could be 2 weeks or 3/4 weeks after interview. It also depends on how much of a rush is on to get people through at the time too.

Resilience, serving the public, problem solving, personal effectiveness, commitment to the role. I think that's all of them.

Anyone know how many they interview in a day ?

Id say theyre going through maybe 50/60 a day. 6 people per slot at about 45mins a person. 6 panels of interviewers. Spread over each day

Hello all,

Can anyone recommend any good Garda interview preparation courses?
