    I have 1 person on my vetting that lives in the US now. It's my ex husbands brother. Do you reckon that'll delay my vetting much? Everyone else is in Kerry/Limerick.


    Not a clue, but by the sounds of things all your relatives in Ireland are nearly done in 1 sitting, assuming there's no problems of course.

    Aye, I could, but I'm not too keen on forking out the money if it's not necessary, not at this stage of my life anyway when I've a house and everything else to be worrying about. I'll play by ear for the moment. I've a career where I am so me being delayed wouldn't be the worst thing anyway.

    You don't put down ex partners family I thought, just current partners.

    For those that have been successful at interview, how long was it till you were told what the next stage was for you and what was it ?

    I'm still technically married (not divorced/separated) yet so I had to put them down.

    Ah sorry, hopefully it doesn't take to long on the checks, my family are spread across England so I'm expecting delays if my application gets that far

    Interview done and dusted , long wait now for the results, best of luck to everyone today and well done to those who passed the interview.

    Well done to those who passed. I have mine tomorrow, I have never in my life been so nervous!


  • Registered Users Posts: 76 ✭✭Smallboy


    Hey people, interview tomorrow super nervous! I heard a rumor that when the board asks you a question you need to try talk for 4 minutes on each question asked. At most I can maybe talk for 1-2 minutes with each competency? Is this an issue or is the time not as important as what you say?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,424 ✭✭✭✭Witcher


    There's no way you'll talk for 4 mins on anything, they have about 10mins each to interview you and they'll just cut across your answer on many questions once theyve got the gist of it.

    I wouldn't get concerned over time, just know your competency and have a few extra as back up. They won't let you sit there and talk for 4 minutes straight, your probably talking for 30 seconds before they ask you something about the answer your giving them

    Don't be! Be confident in yourself that you have prepared enough your examples. They want you to pass they are not trying to catch you out. They do want you to be detailed in your example just to confirm it is a true example of yours with a positive outcome.


  • Registered Users Posts: 36 Harley2016


    Had my interview Monday just gone. Does any one know how long before we find out if we failed or passed? I forgot to ask.


  • Registered Users Posts: 76 ✭✭Smallboy


    I asked in mine and they said *hopefully* next week. I'm also hopeful it's this week cause I can't imagine PAS work over the Christmas week so it will probably be next 2 weeks if not this coming week.

    Good question, not sure how it works at all myself. Like I came in 300s , but if they taking in 600 this year in total and there are a lot from the previous campaign does it mean we gonna be sitting around waiting for a couple of years .... makes no sense to me why they keep recruiting if so many people are waiting still.

    Anyhow sure there is a reason and someone here will explain !!
