Clerical Positions in the Civil and Public Service

I scored 317, placed top 10 in Cavan/Monaghan. Well done to everyone who completed the tests, I think I speak for the majority of us when I say they were a real headf**k!

Well done you. Fair play.

I cant help thinking that this whole process smells of PR bullsh*t on the Governments behalf.

When there is backlogs in sectors of the civil service or whatever they use it as a retort that they only recruit the best and brightest when in all honesty there are people well capable of doing a job in the civil service that mightn't even be good enough to pass this test. Its a load of bollocksology if you ask me.

Perhaps TD's or Councillors should take aptitudes in future before they are allowed run for election given all of the crazy batsh*t decisions they have made up to now.

It's just a way to whittle down the numbers. In fairness, having worked there before in different departments, a well trained monkey could do a lot of the work.

Louth/Meath was placed 138
Cavan/Monaghan I was placed 63
Dublin was placed 560

Have no clue what that means!

The results of the Kilkenny/Carlow jury have arrived.

750th place.....Oh i'm knocking on that door

Just got results from Kilkenny/Carlow.. 73rd place, very happy with that! However, even happier that I got a new job offer this week, starting in a couple of weeks so I won't be going forward for the next stage in this.

Best of luck to everyone

I placed 5th in Mayo, Roscommon. I'm delighted. Tbh I thought I was out since I hadn't heard anything until last night.

For those of us that failed or ranked well down the list - there is an opening for Secretary General in the Dept. of Justice. Though its a crap job that involves being blamed for everything. Bit like being a premiership manager, you just hang around waiting to be fired.

Been following this thread so I'll I'd add in my results too:

Total score: 305

Placed 45th for Donegal

Placed 93rd for Sligo/Leitrim

Wonder how many would get invited for tests in each region if jobs do come up, doesn't give any indication in the information.

Sligo22

Just got my mail placed 168 for Galway/Clare, so not holding my breath... tho still considerably better than I thought I would rank considering how much i fecked up numerical! so thats some consolation I guess

So that's both of us placed 93rd for Leitrim/Sligo/Longford with same score 305 .... Wonder how many more are place 93rd along with us and so forth in front of us, seams there's a lot more than 92 people in front of us for this region.

Hi. I placed 427 in Dublin and am through to the supervised tests.

Dunno what to think. Seems very far down the line but when we don't know how many positions are available, its hard to know where we stand.

Happy to be through, but head is wrecked. Really really want this job!

lenoude

I applied for offaly

Score :289

Position:200



Oh dear haha

liam24

Someone was saying earlier that it might work something like this:

Person A has 350 points. Placed no. 1

Person B has 320 points. Placed no. 2

Person C has 320 points. Placed no. 2

Person D has 320 points. Placed no. 2

Person E has 315 points. Placed no. 5


Don't know if that's actually the case, but that would work out okay for us if it is. :-)

Congrats to all who qualified - happy enough with my results, got 324 and in top ten in my region, but error checking brought my overall score way down. I knew it would as I was way too slow at it and didn't get it all done and guessed half of those I did answer. At least other sections brought me up I guess. Like everyone else outside Dublin though it says :

Based on these results, you have reached the qualifying standard at Stage 1. Should vacancies arise in your chosen region and your place reached, we will contact you in relation to proceeding to Stage 2 of the selection process i.e. supervised tests.

In other words no idea when or if I will get to do supervised tests. I wonder will they say call top twenty or thirty in a region when a position arises in that area, get those candiates to do supervised tests and then interview, or how they will do it? Seems odd that they don't appear to be calling anyone from areas outside Dublin initially,which seems mad from a logistics point of view too in terms of setting up separate supervised tests when vacancies arise.

I guess we'll find out anyway, they might not even know themselves yet!

I scored 306 and was placed 86th, so I wouldn't think so, I guess that just means that a lot of people got similar scores.

Edit. Oh and well done to everyone that got through, we all deserve effing jobs after that ordeal

Gickyk

Hope that's right ! To be honest I'm only interested in Longford anyway as the time to commute to Leitrim/Sligo wouldn't be worth it for that money and who knows how long it would take for a transfer. Best of Luck going through our paths might cross somewhere down the line.

yea thats mad alright!! the mail just said I've met qualifying standard and they will contact if they decide to recruit in the area in regards to supervised tests- was it the same for you?

seems i did pretty well on verbal, then numerical was just okayish and the same for error checking- I knew i messed up numerical- just had a total panic with it. and error checking was just too much to get done in the time!!
