Anyone who did their interview last week hear anything yet? I know they said two weeks but I find we should get it soon.

I did my interview last week thought it went like terribly so I'm gonna re apply just in case. You have to download an application form again and when I do it's the interview form for the September interview which I've just done. So I've contacted PAS about it

I'm not trying to be smart or anything, but if you read through all of this thread every question you have will be answered.

The Interview form is actually the form for the new campaign. We have changed the process so that the interview form is completed at the beginning of the campaign.

Just got that back via email.

For me they were very straight forward. As in it was a case of, "show us an example in your work where you showed interpersonal skill", or "can you show us examples of how you delivered proven results in your work". They were very precise and to the point.....but in saying that I've heard each interview panel can be quiet different.

Just enquiring for my daughter, not sure what's tne next step ...she probably knows though ...is medical next ??

innovate27

Congratulations to all! Passed myself there, but I hope the medical and physical are in the next few weeks! Such a long process and here's hoping things progress quickly. Does anyone the next couple of in take dates in Templemoore? And how much each intake takes? I headed between 200-300 each time

Well done all on passing stage 3 all. What kind of examples. Would sports and work do along with real life.

Hi. Wonder could anyone offer any advice? I sent back in my interview form August 22nd, as requested, where I was told interview would be early September - I have heard nothing since, except an email to confirm the form was received. I see from previous posts that they are interviewing OOM after 1600 now, my number was 15xx. I have emailed again, but am very concerned at this point. Any advice gladly taken.

Got confirmation yesterday i passed my interview! Any ideas on when medical and fitness will be and how likely are people in the 900s of order of merit to get called for the November intake?

I asked the guy I did the interview prep course with and was told things would move on quickly from now and could possibly be in the November intake. I'm not sure that will be the case though. I also got results yesterday and was in 800's. I haven't heard anything yet. Don't even know how they contact you as I think from now on its not public job's but I could be wrong.

Yeah you're right, the next contact we receive will be from Garda HR as far as i'm aware. I have my doubts i'll get in the November intake as i read in another forum a lot are still waiting on November from around August. Well done on passing!

As long as I'm going in the right direction I'm happy. If not November hopefully February! Congratulations to you too Another question...is it via phone or email? (If you kno) Terrified I'll miss a call in work!

I'd presume it will be via email so they give us all the info like dates and addresses etc. Plus they would have to understand that people are still working anyway so i wouldn't panic if you see a missed call :-)

If one has never applied for Garda reserves, what kind of answer would be sufficient for the interview panel. I'm sure work and sports would not be adequate.
Any suggestions
