It was on Public Jobs for the bones of a month. I chanced on the competition just by logging onto Public Jobs myself. It was not internal it is an open competition. That is why I am really surprised that there does not seem to be much talk about it?

Likewise, I happened upon it entirely by chance. Normally I hear about these things well in advance of the closing date, but I only saw it a day or two before applications closed.

Ditto a few days before as well. What did you think 🀔 of the form took me a good few hours to get around it!

I've done a few similar ones on the past, so I had most answers ready to go. Still took me a while to polish them up though, especially my People management answer.

CryWolf

I know sure. I had to add in a couple of new points as had more examples to add. I found the People management question hard but just tryed to answer it competency based.

CryWolf

Sorry, can't answer the last question about Longford!

Thread is quiet, has anybody heard from comp. 2019 and wondering did many apply?

rostalof

Was just thinking the same myself. No word from PAS yet either?

Just got a message on my Public Jobs message board saying that they're finalizing the shortlists and interviews should start in late June. If interviews are due to start in June, I'd imagine we'll get our shortlist results fairly soon.

CryWolf

I received the same message as you. Wonder if there were many applicants?:

Has anyone heard anything since the message on the 23rd of May?

Nope. I mailed asking for an update but haven't heard back. I'll give them a call tomorrow!

The Red Lantern

Rang earlier and was told that it will more than likely be the end of June when we're notified if we were successful or not

Got a message in my Public Boards message board arranging an interview for the Software Developer stream. No message yet about the Infrastructure and Operations stream which I also applied for.

The Red Lantern

Only made it to the reserve panel. Sucks balls cause I thought I had enough to get an interview. Ah well. Best of luck to everyone that got through!

I got a later message after a few hours telling me I was on the reserve panel for the Infrastructure stream. Probably why I didn't get it all in one go.

Honestly I'm surprised I got an interview for Software Development, but reserve for the Infrastructure. I thought it would be the other way around if at all. So who knows how it works.

I also don't remember if there was any indication of how long the panel was to last. You might yet get called! ^_^

Anyone know when the interviews start in Dublin for the software development comp.?

Dillons Beat

rostalof

So who has an interview this week? Are the interviews this week only for regional locations or are applicants for Dublin being interviewed too?
