    Great to hear so many moving off the list:-)

    I'm a few months in my job now and really enjoying it. Took a while to get a feel for the place but I now feel I have half an idea of what's going on.

    Just wondering if anyone with a bit of knowledge of the system knows about transfers.

    Contract states that you have to be out of probation which is a year long.

    The other day a notification came around of a CO position which is less than 15 mins from me, they are looking for a qualification that I have and it's work I'd love to do.

    I've had my first review and it was very positive. Is there any point in talking to HR or is it a lost cause during probation.

    Bit of a long shot as I know most of us are new to the system but thought I'd ask.

    Just got word I passed my interview :) I was turning things over in my head since last week thinking of all the better answers I could have given. Everyone at work kept asking me how the interview went and all I could say was only so so.

    I have 2 years experience as a TCO and I'm working as a TCO at the moment. I don't think I could have shown my face at work if I didn't pass it.

    Well done to all who have received results and good luck to those who are soon doing a stage.

    Just wondering, has anyone that placed 90+ for Cork received a call to contact referees?

    Got invitation to interview today for Donegal region but I already interviewed in oct when they were doing Dublin region. Has anyone else had to do 2 interviews? I've sent an email but just wondering if anyone else had experienced this?

    You shouldn't have to do a second interview, your interview result for Dublin should carry over for Donegal.

    That's what I thought/was hoping. Could b awkward getting time off for it otherwise but hopefully it was just an error!

    I was waiting about 2 weeks to hear I'd passed the interview and week or so for the call about reference checks. They will ask if you're still interested and if ok to call your referees. That should give you a chance to speak to your employer. Good luck :)
