Graduate Opportunities in Local Government 2017

Jimbob1977

The title of 'Graduate' needs a rethink.

I graduated 20 years ago!

It makes the person sound like a 20-year old that has zero professional career experience or life's experience.

Many of the Aviva crew had years of work and experience behind them.

First full month out of the way for myself as of today, how is everyone else getting on so far?

I was only talking to a woman Friday where I am in Wicklow saying she had wanted a graduate for her department but couldn't get one. I see it listed there

Thanks Jimbob. See you there...

Am guessing no email means unsuccessful? Whole process seemed pretty un-professional so far. Ive yet to receive confirmation of receipt of application despite contacting them seperately after the fact.

Apologies..... This email is for graduates who have already started.

Namely the group who began their application process in October 2017 and started in Summer 2018. It's not your campaign.

This email is from the LGMA about organising training courses.

It's unconnected to people who are currently in the application process like yourself

Don't panic.

Ah I see. Thanks. Still a bit concerned all the same. Only contact so far was regarding a data breach. lol

I emailed a few weeks ago and was told that I was unsuccessful. Apparently shortlisting happened on the 1st of November.

Who did you email out of interest? I've never gotten a response from them at all.

Great to see everyone at Southern Region Module One.

I think it was a very good session.

Plenty of opportunity to give feedback and express oneself.

Hi Guys, not sure if the thread is still running. I am just wondering will there be another campaign for 2019/2020? I'm just after finishing up my Masters in UL and I'd love to work in Local Government! Thanks
