Interview over and done with but now for another long wait

How do you feel you did?

AM11

It's so hard to tell. Initially I walked out confident but then I started thinking Did I answer the questions at all or did I just waffle!? Did I cover the competencies as well as I could have etc. I'll be stressing now until I get the results. There was a no show this morning so I went in early too which kinda threw me off a bit. I just hope I did enough. How about you?

It looks good that you were prepared, and arrived early, and you could go in early.

Did you get to answer the competancies that you prepared?

If you walked out confident then that's a good sign. Hopefully the results are next week

AM11

I asked how long it might take for results and they said 2-2.5 weeks hopefully.

I prepared examples of the competencies for previous jobs etc but they asked for examples for specific ones they I hadnt prepared. That's why I'm worried that I waffled for some answers. Ah well, I can't do anything about it now. Just need to keep preparing for the next stages IF I get there..! How are you feeling about the medical and physical?

Spouses parents, grandparents, sisters and brothers, half sisters or brothers and aunts and uncles.

Gcc

thanks AM11
I better get started now so, he has round 12 aunt/uncles on each side :-(

Boscorelli

The wait is torture already. Was in yesterday. Found the board to be fair and accommodating. Answered everything. Nothing too tricky. Best of luck to all.

AM11

Good luck!!!

You have to get partners Mam/Dad/Aunts/Uncles (their spouses) and grandparents.

Didn't need to get cousins.

The medical is out of our hands. The fitness will be difficult if we are not prepared. I did the bleep test, and first time I got to level 6. The second time I got to level 8.1. The push ups and sit ups just need practice.

AM11

Are you using an app foe the bleep test? I'm worried about the bleep test and situps but just need to keep pushing.

Yeah I got one on the app stone. It's really good.

Practice makes perfect. You will fly through it.

On Monday my brother got an interview date for the start of July and he's early 700s so that's roughly where they're at now..

D Trent

Anyone know how many they interview in a day ?

There's usually a few panels on so they can get through a few people per hour I think they get through about 150-200 per week but really haven't a clue on exact numbers, like 6 per hour and 7 hours in a day is 42 per day by 5 days a week would make 200 feasible but then again it's whether pas have the resources to do that many panels...

Collielover

Oh and with summer looming things will get slower cause staff on holidays etc too...

Did anybody else get an updated form b to fill out?

Yeah I got that aswell. I forgot to put my partners details down (haha she wasn't happy) and the girl at the interview asked me to email them in which I did but then got a form b to fill out which was the exact same. I just filled her in on my original one and sent it again? I thought I had to resend because of that?

Delly123

You will get your application form first.

You'll have approx a week to send that back to public jobs.

Then a few days after that, they will send you your interview date, and your Form B (Background Form).

Open adobe, click file - open - and then click on the form.

Should open that way

If they are to have everyone complete stage 2 by August, do you think they will have all the interview complete by the end of the year?

CW95

Well lads,
Filling out my interview form, on the qualifications part did people put down their specific leaving cert results?
Also I'm mid way through my college degree (3 out of 4 years done), what should I put down for 'Subject(s) taken in final examination' and 'Grade obtained (e.g. 1, 2.1, 2.2,Pass, etc)'.
Thanks appreciate any help!

I rang PAS, they made an error on the form so sent it to some people again. There was only a few slight changes in the form. Pain filling it out again though.

Do you know what the changes were as I just sent the original again with the bits I missed. I read through it and compared it with the original and they seem identical

Only diffetences I noticed were the family part where you had to specify paternal or maternal for aunts and uncles. Other than that I think it was all the same

dalenka

CW95 just write ongoing or not applicable for studies you are doing now. As for leaving cert you can put the grades I think, no harm in that, you still have to give them diploma to prove it

I got my Interview form 6 days ago which said "interview on July" and the familiarization material 3 days ago. No actual date of interview as of yet so I assume it'll come in another Email?

Fingers, toes, Legs and eyes crossed!!

Have you any idea when we'd be heading down if (when) we're successful? September maybe?

Doyle06

Who has there interviews this week?

I have mine done since last week, and I'm so impatient for results already!

AM11

Me too. It'll be at least the end of the month before we hear back I'd say.

I had mine back in March on a Tuesday and I knew by the Friday. So you never really know how long the wait time is!

AM11

That's just what I was told at my interview. They said they had another week and a half to get through interviews and we'd know in 2 to 2.5 weeks. Trying not to think about it too much.

CreamTim

I did 2 years in college and then dropped out .. now it says to put down "whether completed or not" .. do I put in my subjects I did in my final year (which was 2nd year) or what do I do ? Any advice greatly appreciated

gardagirl2015
