Have u done stage 2? I done it few months ago. Got results but nothing since!

Based on other regions. It appears to take 3 months from test results to interview so they came out start of June, i would estimate people will be notified near the end of August for an interview at the start of September for Sligo.

Hi just wondering how you got on at the interview. I had mine yesterday too & not quite sure about it. Hopefully we wont be waiting long for results

Think I did ok. I was pretty well prepared but it's still not easy to remember your examples and frame them to suit the questions but I think I did ok.

Forgot to ask when we would hear, does anyone know how long it takes?

I see a few people mentioning incremental credit I worked as tco from June 07 to March 09. I was offered clerical position there last week for a quasi semi state agency last week starting work mid August I have signed contract already but only reading about incremental credit form being sent with contracts. Do you if incremental credit is standard across clerical positions in civil service or is it up each individual personnel section? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know at what stage you tell them you're not interested in a certain region? Im guessing I will get offered something in sligo/leitrim/longford (if at all!) Before mayo/roscommon as the process is ahead but im pretty certain il refuse and wait for mayo/roscommon. Hope it doesnt backfire n il end up with nothing though!!

After passing the interview I got a phone call from pas asking if I was interested in going forward with Limerick but I told them that I'd hold out for Cork. I knew it was a risk by fortunately it worked out.

You get a message posted to your board on your public jobs account.

For anyone who was successful at interview, did it take long to hear from them after the interview and to get an offer of place after that?

My interview was on the 30th of June (it is for the Kilkenny / Carlow area)

A week is pretty quick to hear back, I thought it would take longer! Hopefully it will be similar for me. I had my interview on Thursday for Westmeath/Offaly/Laois

From my experience, I would imagine you should hear back by the end of this week.....I hope it moves quickly for you!

Jsherlock1

Thanks me too! Do you know how much time they allow for starting ie how much notice I could give my current employer?

I had my interview the 25th May, heard I was successful the 5th June, had my reference checked (Including my current employer!!!!) 16th June and haven't heard a word since!!

budget1984

HI does anyone know if PAS contact you before they call your current employer.

I dont want them contacting my employer until I accept a position & have start date. Wonder will this be a problem?
