Felt I answered their questions sufficiently but I will always feel I could have done better - such is the nature of an interview I guess. It was 40 mins but the time absolutely flew. Know your application form inside and out. I was asked questions on each and every section. Nerves came through at times but I'm sure they allow for this. Panel were firm but fair. They have a timeline they need to stick to.
Your Form B needs to be 1,000,000% accurate. I forgot a post code on one relatives address and I had a typo in the DOB for another. This has already caused a delay in my vetting process so make sure your Form B is spotless. I have to re-submit the required information to them online but you only have 7 days to do this.
Fingers crossed I did enough to make it to the next stage. Best of luck to those yet to do the interview.
Now to play the waiting game!
Well done greasy.
Hopefully you get good news.0 -

Did you hear about the mix ups on your Form B that quick, I passed my interview 3 weeks ago and have only just met the local sergeant. Is hearing nothing from the vetting a good thing I wonder???0 -
Vetting can take quite a while so it really doesn't matter if you haven't heard anything. Some people will have vetting cleared sooner than others. In my own case, I have family in the US and Canada. I have lived in the US and the UK too. All of this means my vetting will likely take longer to clear. The lady I spoke with yesterday informed me that there are people on the panel who have been waiting almost a year for their vetting to clear. Give them time to get it done. They are experiencing delays with UK background checks in particular. My Form B was reviewed at the offices yesterday and I was immediately made aware that some extra information was required.Theflycatcher wrote: »OhThatsGreasy wrote: »Had my interview yesterday.

I'm continuing to work on my fitness while waiting for a result from the interview. I figure the best thing to do is to continue to prepare as though you could be called to the next stage at any time. The vetting will take care of itself. I got the impression they are working flat-out to try and clear as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.0 -

I had done plenty of prep for the interview but I wasn't asked about most of topics I had covered. They might ask a few random questions to see how you cope under pressure. If you do your prep, you will be fine. They're not setting out to trip people up. Take your time, be clear and confident in your answers.
I worked my ass off in preparation for yesterday and I still feel I may not have done enough. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Give it your best shot. That's all any of us can do.
I feel the exact same!! Had my interview at 9am this morning. A lady briefed me outside and told me who was on the board etc.. and to talk directly to the person asking the question. There was so much more I had prepped for and wanted to say. I hope I did enough. Obviously I knew it was competency based but didnt think they would be asked as directly as I was. They each told me what competency they would be questioning me on, and then gave me a brief outline of what they expected in the answer. The lady doing judgement and decision making was poking me loads but I think the others were ok. The inspector asked me about resilience and motivation to be a garda. Nothing really asked about my supplementary info which I was disappointed with but such is the nature of a 40 min interview. Best of luck to everyone doing it and feel free to ask any questions if ye like 0 -

As far as I know even if u knew them say 8 years ago and worked together fr a year or so that counts I don't think u need to have been consistently with them for the past 5 years? It's a tricky one tho. I think it's more aimed at people in extra activities like I menioned. I didn't have any so that why I used the family friend.. when is ur interview ?0 -
To be honest, that's as good as anything I had and I passed. Just practice getting those points across in the competenciesThank you, I must try find someone else. my issue is I work alone and only interact with my manager so cant use colleague's and in relation to my volunteer work it's all over the place and not working with any one person consistently for 5 years I was a marshal at a few adventure races this last 2 years and I voulnteer as a big sister in local youth club on and off for this last 3years then my local priest has been changed 3 times in last 5 years also so that's a no go aswel0 -
