Interview is nerve racking waiting for it but once your in there you'll find it's not as worrying as you thought easier for me to say now but try not to worry it will do no good, know your compencies inside out, sell yourself as much as possible and really let them know you want to be a guard, know about the ranks life in templemore what you'd like /dislike about the career. Try have back up compencies too and you should be fine there really is no trick questions best of luck to all with interviews coming up.

Best of luck to everyone doing interviews this week, and equally best of luck to everyone waiting on results from stage 2. Start preparing for the interview if I were you, it's an intense 40mins.

Preparation is key.  You need to make them see a potential Garda in you.

Just made it through stage 2 over to this thread I go

Onto Stage 3 as of yesterday I'm glad to say. Can anybody tell me how long it takes to get the next email containing "Form B" etc after you receive the email with stage 2 results? Also, any tips would be fantastic, thanks!

Got through to Stage 3. Just wondering where will this interview be. Is it in Dublin?

eoinkildare

Droptheworld,
Your interview should be in the public appointments building on middle Abbey street in Dublin. Easy to get to from most parts of the country.

Cheallaigheoin,
I would recommend that you consider doing some voluntary work in your area now as if you wait until you get your date it may be too late. The same goes for your fitness or weight if these are an issue. This is more for after your interview if you're successful as again you don't want to leave this until it's too late.

For your interview I would highly recommend doing a preparation course. I did it and know loads who did too and it makes a massive difference.

In relation to form b, I'm not sure how long you'll be waiting but you can start to gather a list of all of your brothers, sisters, parents, aunts and uncles now to help that process. You need names, addresses, dates of birth and occupation for each.

cheallaigheoin

Thanks for that eoinkildare, most appreciated! Yes my weight and fitness are very good and I do voluntary work in my area and thankfully I know all my family etc. I will definetly be doing prep courses also. Cheers!

Aaron_998

It says in the email you will be called OOM between now and the new year.
I know someone in the last campaign to who placed early 700s and waited two months between his stage 2-stage 3.

I passed the interview last August

Some tips
- have plenty of examples for the competencies try and vary the examples in my case I had sport college work examples so I mixed them all up to avoid repeating

-for those not familiar with Dublin make sure to scope out the location for interview helps with the nerves to know where you are goin, Luas stops outside

-drink the water provided , helps with any nerves

-pause before you answer, think what you are saying first

-if the chance comes to smile don't be afraid to, one of the interview panel make a joke during mine and it helped me relax

-know the training in templemore e.g. Phases modules,
-know the Garda rank
-duties of a Garda e.g. Station on beat, warrants common day to day tasks

-be prepared for questions like
How would you react to verbal abuse from a guy on the street ?
How prepared are you for the salary decrease from your current role ?
The interview panel asked me for a rough figure for my current salary
Any areas of the Gardai appeal to you? Drugs Community etc

-They asked me about the reserves
I had an answer prepared as I am not a reserve due to other commitments, that was accepted by the panel

-make sure your forms certs etc are filled in in its entirety, I was missing vetting info and looked like a bit of a mug on the day ha

-before the interview I went to the cafe next door to look over my examples. This helped me keep them fresh !

Overall the panel want to pass people and they are encouraging and help to get you through it

Good luck all!

Plenty of tips on boards for this just search away!
Good luck

Hi all, I have a question as regards Form B. My wife has never met her father and he isn't on her birth certificate, do I need to get info on him for the form or can I put down unknown. Has anybody ever had to deal with this issue, thanks!

cheallaigheoin

Excellent advice, thanks a million!

Hi All.

Congrats on getting through to stage 3.

Do we need a copy of our college results/degrees or is leaving cert results sufficient enough?

Thanks

Don't worry about it , I'm sure they were happy enough with what you provided. Best of luck. What was your oom?

I was the same. Think the other competencies went well but feel I failed on motivation to be a Garda

Out of a matter of interest how soon after our Interview do they begin the vetting and contacting our references?? Is it after we receive confirmation if we passed interview or when??
