Sorry if I am off topic but still nevertheless very much relevant as money pays the bills:)

Is this part of the new agreement from the planned strike? As in for year one and 2 is there not going to be any rise?
Hopefully i get thru these interviews now i have a 4 year degree so three extra increments ðŸ™

Hi all.. Just wondering if anyone knows what the pass rate for the interview is and do they tell you on the day if you're successful. Also I have bad eyesight so if I do get through interview can I defer my medical for a while in order to give me time to get my laser sorted? Thanks in advance...

You do the medical and then they give you 6 months to submit a six week post-surgery report.

A friend of mine sent it onto me who is a new recruit. This was before the new agreement so you can assume this pay scale will be even better once amended.

Yes I am in the same boat have an honours degree.

i'm still awaiting an interview date but already have managed to write out all of my competencies over the last 2 days.

No harm being prepared I suppose

I called there a minute ago to check when those in the 1300's will hear how stage two went... she advised they are still waiting to hear back from the test company and said in the next two weeks or so...

I still expect an answer this week or next because I think the PAS set the expectations further so there's no people giving out.

Chalk it down.:) By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The month of December is going to fly in.

Does anybody know what the story with increments is?

Are they frozen till 2018 due to the Financial Emergency Measures Act (FEMPI)?

Does that mean that new recruits are on the 23,750 for two years ?

Any replies greatly appreciated

FYI

I rang up and they are processing it for me today.

Had to pay the €14.50 for it. I think it's worth just paying

Was it Athlone you rang? I rang and explained and they still send me online!!

Yeah you need to order it online. Order the statement of results for €14.50

Once the order is done and paid ring up give your transaction reference (they email this to you straight after you pay) and they should do it for you and send it in the post that day.

The number I called was 090 644 2810

Oh please PAS put us out of our misery and give us the results tomorrow. Amen:)

Rang PAS there this morning, I did my test on the 15th and enquiried when the results would come back and they said they haven't got the results for the second week yet and that it should be sometime in the middle of December and interviews for the second week won't commence until the middle/end of January....seems to be a bit more of a wait...

Does anyone know if you find out the names of your interviewers before you meet them? And who they are? Is three guards or three PAS employees or how does it work? Please

I done an interview for the prison service a few weeks ago,similar process and just before I went in a lady from pas told me the panels names and when I went into the interview I I got introduced to them properly.

Great thanks for that! I think it looks bad if you don't know their names before you go in

MrBlack93

For the Form B what are people putting under the address column for Uncles/Aunts and Grandparents who are deceased?

I assume the address at which they last resided?

Yeah definitely! Always good to know and address them by their name. I was told its 2 people from pas and a member of AGS interviewing and then another member of pas sits off to one side taking notes but. Look the interview is as simple/difficult as you make it. Main thing is to relax and be yourself. As long as you know the interview form ya filled out in the beginning and stick to the info on that and have solid examples of the competencies they are looking for it won't be a drama.

Public jobs website is down for maintenance, might not be getting results this week.

Hi Lads,
I have a bit of a difficult one here and I'd like to hear your perspective.

I have a JLO youth caution from when I was an early teen.

I'm very concerned that if I pass all the other stages my vetting would be rejected because of it, I have been a "model citizen" since then, but I still feel that the caution is a huge obstacle. Does anyone know of anyone in a similar situation having passing vetting? What do you think my chances are or is it futile even trying?

Thanks!

I'd recommend ringing your local Garda/seargent and discussing it with them. At the end of the day it's there opinion that matters as its there report what the superintendent goes by!
