Hi was Galway panel called for interviews yet?

Same here. I have an OOM for both from Stage 2 but my email Re: Interview only mentioned Limerick. When I rang PAS they said that Clare interviews hadn't been called yet and that was why my Limerick interview came first. I have an OOM for both counties. I've been reading through the 2016 thread and apparently Limerick is one of the top 3 fastest moving counties but Clare moves a lot slower owing to transfers of existing staff over from Limerick to Clare, but someone might correct me if I'm wrong.

Ignore my previous message my Clare OOM never changed.

Major blonde moment

When do people think they will be interviewing again. Any one who did 2016 panel might know perhaps?.

I dunno why but I'm hopeful we will hear tomorrow. The guy who interviewed me said 10 days and that's tomorrow.

Oh well... Into another week we go

They interview throughout the next 2 years. I only interviewed in August but still 6 people on front of me on the panel before me so think my time is up now. They do it in batches throughout the 2 years. Best of luck, fingers crossed for you.

Thanks, hopefully you might get lucky. It was a bit crazy to call yee, kinda getting yer hopes up, but I suppose they need a cushion for Transferring over from the 2016 to 2018 panel.

Huntline · 31-10-2018 2:31pm

Anyone hear anything?

Cherylwalsh3 · 31-10-2018 2:39pm

Anyone hear anything about waterford/kilkenny?

Nothing. It's been exactly 3 weeks since my interview and they said I would have an answer in 2 weeks so I'm feeling a bit impatient.

It will be 2 weeks this Friday since I did mine. They told me 2-3 weeks for results so there may be a way to go yet, though they seem to have given everyone a different time-frame.

I'd just like to know either way if its a Pass/Fail and go from there

The waiting is terrible!

ismisebridget · 31-10-2018 3:37pm

I'm the same. At this stage I just want to know one way or the other.

lamb stew · 31-10-2018 3:40pm

I suppose they are in no hurry, it might spell good news for anyone on the 2016 panel hoping to get something

jimjammy10 · 31-10-2018 3:42pm

So it looks like the interview was competitive so we'll get a new ranking if we pass that is

SB1982 · 31-10-2018 3:47pm

No...interview was pass or fail.
Your OOM from stage 2 carries through providing you pass the interview you retain your OOM

milkandsugar · 31-10-2018 3:58pm

It's dragging on isn't it!? Like others I'd like to know one way or the other.

jimjammy10 · 31-10-2018 4:00pm

No unfortunately not if you read your stage 3 fam material they sent you it says competitive.

' Clerical Officer in the Civil Service 2018

Introduction
Following the competitive tests at Stage 2, those who were placed highest are being invited to Stage 3. This next Stage will comprise a competitive interview. To qualify, candidates must reach the qualifying standard in each competency'

Its a pain because I thought it was pass/fail going into the interview

That goes against everything I've read? Everything I've read here states that it is Pass/Fail situation and Order of Merit is retained once you reach the required standard

jimjammy10 · 31-10-2018 4:10pm

That's usually the way but this campaign and the new revenue (customs) clerical officer campaign are being done differently

Xenji · 31-10-2018 4:20pm

That is quite unworkable unless they only go by small batches, say Mayo has only called 20 people for interview so far that would be batch 1 and you are ranked within those 20, if they interview everyone it would take an age to place people as there was nearly 2 years between batches in the last campaign in some county's for interview.

If that is the case then nobody on this thread is aware of it...
I've looked back and there are streams of replies to queries stating it is Pass/Fail
It would take an age to re-assign OOM's again

uck51js9zml2yt · 31-10-2018 4:36pm

Just called Pas. Results end of this or early next week.

The interview is competitive in the sense that you receive a score for each of the competencies and those scores must be equal to or higher than the qualifying scores to pass the interview.

A candidate’s OOM will not change.

What you quoted above doesn’t state that an OOM will change.

I rang PAS. Your OOM will change. If you reach the qualifying score you will be assigned a new OOM within your batch. 2016 Interviews were Pass/Fail...2018 campaign interviews are competitive. Your interview score is compared to others in the batch and you are ranked accordingly. Unfortunately this person is correct.

Thanks for ringing and clarifying the situation.

I wouldn’t worry about it though. Your OOM could improve so you might be hired sooner rather than later. Also, as we are all in the first batch of our counties, we are almost guaranteed to still be hired. PAS only interview a certain amount based on forecasted vacancies.

That's True...I did have a little bit of a panic though, but need to pass first before we start worrying about being placed I guess

Exactly, it’s just a waiting game now. We’ll be grand - positive thoughts!

milkandsugar · 31-10-2018 6:58pm

Wow so that's what the hold up is then. Our oom changes. Well feck

uck51js9zml2yt · 31-10-2018 7:05pm

Interview are pass/ fail.
Ion will only change if the person above you fails and you pass.

Unfortunately it’s not. Your Interview will give you a new OOM provided you pass. Call PAS and ask them yourself.

Vologda69 · 31-10-2018 9:40pm

Will this apply to all future competitions? EO, AO etc

it's already the case in those comps

Jipzy · 01-11-2018 4:49pm

considering they have only called on average 10 - 12 on the OOM for the first round of interviews?
Does this mean the first 10 - 12 people cannot be placed lower than this after their interview?
I am in the 20's for Westmeath and was called for interview yesterday, does anyone know what number they have called up to for Westmeath?

SB1982 · 01-11-2018 5:21pm

Interview results are in. Passed! Onwards and upwards!!!
Good Luck to everyone else here in the waiting room

No, you get a new order of merit too

Anniesland · 01-11-2018 5:34pm

Passed also. OOM went way up for me, about 29 places. Absolutely delighted

jimjammy10 · 01-11-2018 5:38pm

Phew, passed also went form 2 to 5.

Aisinikins · 01-11-2018 5:40pm

Anybody get results for Westmeath yet?

Rikand · 01-11-2018 5:42pm

nothing for westmeath yet - hoping they are doing it in Alphabetical order of County.

Hopefully everyone above is from Cavan, Carlow, Cork, etc

For the Stage 2 results in Westmeath I received mine about 2 hours later than others on boards, so that's probably the case. Also anyone know how many were called for interview in Westmeath?

Snicks · 01-11-2018 6:11pm

My oom changed I am one place lower. Anyone know when you find out oom for second county of choice?
