Very formal top hat and tails

































Either that or smart casual like everywhere else.

Jaysus it's not rocket science, just use your cop on and don't wear jeans the first day... suss it out and wear what you think best after that.

Not on their first day surely? In my office it's casual and ok to wear jeans but most of the new COs dress smart for the first day or two. Gives a good impression especially when you're meeting the managers and as the poster above said, they can suss it out thereafter

For first day I wore shirt and trousers alright, but straightaway sussed everyone was casual especially blokes.

Hi

I got a letter on Friday, saying that I have been assigned to the Department of Public Expenditure and reform on Friday for there Dublin Office, and that I can start on the 14th of March or the 4th of April. I was offered anther job in the private sector with an accountancy practice, I am study accountancy, and the job is in Naas on similar salary, and I am now in two minds, I asked the HEO that I had to ring, and asked her what I would be doing and got no proper explanation. This all came as a shock and I got no warning that I was anywhere near my number on the panel. I am currently 1720 on the panel

Job in pub sector is for life and has benefits like flexi time and not been asked to stay back late or weekends, I'd go for that. BTW I'm 1649 and haven't been offered a place, does the fact that its at least 1720 in Dublin mean I won't be?

Thank you for your reply, I don't know about the list for the CO, as I was 1720 but was asked nothing about Garda Clearance or reference checks, was just asked to bring them along on the day that I start. I really hope you get something x

If you ring 01-8587400 and ask for the person looking after the permanent clerical officer panel. They are really helpful.

Depending on TFA I would say around €380 after tax. Would you mind saying roughly whereabouts you were placed on the panel after stage 2?

In the Laois Offaly Westmeath region after stage two I was placed 143

For people who have sat the stage 2 exam, when they send you your results, do they send you your marks as well as your panel place?

Honestly don't stress about it, stage 2 is fine just try to stay relaxed and you will do great! It is just like doing stage 1 again.
