Revenue need 400 staff for Brexit. I assume they are moving at such a quick pace to fill them places before March plus the normal positions.

Sent off my vetting on Monday evening and just got an email to say that it has been completed, that seems extremely quick!

I got assigned to AGS in November i sent off my vetting on the 11th November PAS rang me on Saturday to say I had been cleared and that they needed something from Social Welfare. I sent that to PAS on Monday and last night had a message to say that Personnel from AGS would be in touch with a start date and where I was assigned to. Its such a long process but so worth it when that message comes through . How are people finding AGS to work in ??

I can't believe how quickly all this went. I got the call and was offered NSSO clonskeagh, delighted it's where I wanted. I start 4th March. They asked to start 18th Feb but that's not enough notice for my employer. Oom batch 4 109

Just seen through the emails in work, my boss refused to fill in the employer form sent to her from the girl looking for my reference and wouldn’t do a verbal ref either. Said it’s only company policy to state my role and for how long I did it! I’m fuming, I knew she’d be awkward. Could this put a spanner in the works at this stage?

Thats awful, mine are taking their time too, they said they can't give info out about me over the phone with data protection but don't see what the prob with the form is. Hope you get sorted.

Most companies only give a statement of employment these days, mine do and PAS said that is fine. They asked for a character reference as well and said it could just be from someone in a senior position, so not necessarily your manager. Is there anyone else senior you can ask?

Not really, we’re a very small office. I know I could defo get one off my boss from job before this though if they’d accept that...

Office of Public Works.

I just received an email to see if I’d be interested in an interview with the Guards.

I have 2 questions, perhaps someone could advise me:

1. I have 9.5 yrs experience with the civil service so will this be taken into consideration regarding the starting salary?

2. I resigned from that position 6.5 yrs ago and have not been in paid employment since. I have lined up 2 referees, one from a recent college course, one from a recent voluntary position I had. Is it also necessary to contact the civil service, given that it was so long ago? Will the 2 recent references suffice?

Thanks

Hi just curious if there is anyone who has been through the clearance process and not received a job offer due to too much sick leave etc?

trudy2222

I’m just wondering has anyone had to give a months notice and were PAS ok with it? I’ve been given my department but no start date or location yet, I work in such a small business I would need to give a months notice but I’m thinking PAS might not be too happy about it.

I will be required to give a months notice too. It shouldn't be an issue, most people have to give that now

I think they'll be fine with it too, seems the norm. Do you mind me asking what Dept you were assigned?

I asked for a months notice and she said that was fine and pretty much the standard these days so you'll be fine.

They called my reference last Monday and I sent my vetting off on the same day. I was cleared by Wednesday and got an email with my department on Saturday saying they will be in touch with location and start date.

Anyone have any insight into the department of health, what they are like to work for and what the work is like?
