Technical agricultural officer

Someone must have a contact in the DARM or PAS that could give a timeframe to when we would know any indication of a panel or at least a second round of interviews at this stage! Like this is beyond crazy... what's the point in even advertising 6 - 7 months ago, without even appointing anyone to a panel!

I am after getting notification of being placed on order of merit.

StevenToast

Is everyone happy with their results?

Kiltannon

How many jobs on offer, wondering what is a good order of merit for Kildare.

Sticks24

In older panels, the panel ran for 2 years from the day the first person is employed off the panel

Kiltannon

Would say inside top 10 is a must to get a job

When a position is filled will you be notified that you have been moved up the order of merit?

So I got 14 in cavan and 2 in Monaghan.. I've never went for a public job before, what way does it work? If I get offered Monaghan and accept it and get offered Cavan down the line can I switch or if I accept Monaghan do I get taken off the list for Cavan?

Wouldn't think so.
You'll end up ringing them every few months to see if theres any movement yet...

I got in the top 10 for Kildare and Meath.
Will have to wait and see when they will be offering positions now

There are a heap of Tao jobs available in the country. I previously worked as a Tao. Placing top 10 in any big county will definitely get a job offer at some point , if it's anything like previous competitions.

How would there be so many jobs available? Are TAO’s moving into different roles or is new work coming available? Will the jobs be offered over the phone or by email?

Retirements.
Hardly a day goes by without a notice popping up on the intranet about someone in Ag retiring.

A combination of retirements, a recent panel for promotion to SAO and brexit posts. Dept can only employ a max number of people each quarter. A bunch of job offers will most likely be made in the next couple of weeks for the priority posts. When you accept a post in one county, you come off all panels and don't get offered any other jobs. Once offered the job, then they start the eligibility checks for qualifications, they will need to do guarda clearance checks and medical etc. That will take at least 6 weeks so could be 2-3 months from getting job offer to starting the job

Not sure how both of us placed 15th in Wexford?

Johnny 1121

I place 400 in the panel and got emailed to submit my counties of preference. Just wondering if there is much hope of getting a job any help would be appreciated

Kiltannon

Sounds like certain counties didn't get many preferences, hence the Dept want to increase the panel in hoping to get a better distribution amongst the counties where jobs are.

Kiltannon

Anyone get any job offerings yet or any communication from PAS.
