    I'm still holding out hope to get an airport offer. Was only asked the end of last week whether I was still interested in the airport.

    I got my call last week saying they're checking my references etc but they never mentioned the airport (which I had applied for too) just asked was I still interested in a job in Dublin. Can't wait now to hear from them again, I'm hoping my references get back to them quickly so that I'd know before Christmas.

    Yeah sent in today... can't wait now, asked them had they any estimate for a start date and they are hoping for a first intake in mid January.

    Also PAS confirmed anyone who refuses the airport keeps their place on the panel, I guess that means next available job as their position has already been reached.

    If I was a betting woman, I might be tempted to put a few euros on you being called for Revenue. Well, maybe not a few euros, because there are so many civil and public service departments, but given that the room is being prepared for the training of the new Revenue entrants next month, a 50c bet would be worth the risk!:p

    I would absolutely love if it was Revenue, it seems really suited to my experience (hint hint PAS people lol)

    Gerbilgranny I hope you're right.... and I hoe that if I get Revenue that it will be Ashtown Gate as I live in North Fingal and that would be the best commute for me! I just have to wait now while they check my references then hopefully they offer me something. Then when they offer me something I have to tell them I have a 3 weeks holiday booked to Oz at Easter! I am wondering if they are not happy about that would they not offer me something till I come back in April! It's been booked since the Summer as it's for a family wedding!

    Hey lads, is there a way of uploading your cv onto the site or do you just have to apply for specific jobs as they come?

    Can you confirm this please? In correspondence with PAS I was told very clearly that refusal of airport position meant removal from panel.

    If you do not take up the Airport, you go back to PAS.
    If you accept the Airport and do not get DAA clearance before you start, you go back to PAS.
    If you start with the Airport and lose your DAA clearance during your probation period, you do not go back to PAS, let go.

    Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

    I was asked if was interested in applying for ICO. I asked if I successfully interviewed for ICO position would I still be able to take CO. Response was that if offered ICO I would be obliged to accept and would not be considered for any other clerical position. Is this now not the case or have I misread earlier posts?

    Yeah it was fairly categorical in the email I got from PAS after asking them, they said I would retain my place on the panel and be offered a post with another department.

    Have you been offered the airport already?

    On the basis of what I was told in correspondence with PAS I chose to interview for the normal CO role only.

    From what I can tell the department of justice want people to commit to the role (for example you cannot request a transfer for 3 years after your probation period) and have given them an option not to take it if they feel they will not be able to.

    Darn, that's a pity..

    If you interviewed for the Airport but were unsuccessful, you still would have retained your CO position.

    I sent back my non-acceptance form for the airport role today. I've outlined the various reasons here before why I probably wouldn't take it and the 3 years commitment they want really doesn't suit.

    Wishing you all the best and hopefully it makes a great Christmas for some.

    I hope that they will put you back on the panel at your place and you get something more suitable now, or better still in your preferred area. All the best xxx

    I think it was something like number 1102 or something. My PublicJobs account wont let me log in at the moment, the site seems to be down. Very excited because I originally was told I hadn't made the cut.

    This is the highest (numerically) I've heard so far.

    I know 4 people that were placed in the top 100 and I was just under 150.
    We've all been offered places in departments now with some with some just waiting on start dates.
