Administrative Officers 2018 in Revenue - Audit and Compliance

Mac0783 · 22-01-2019 2:34pm

So I did the interview, am not filled with confidence after it. But if this is of any help to anyone, you get 7 minutes per competency, they ask a lot of questions and I didn't find I got much of a chance to tell them the full competency example I had. They also quizzed on the summaries I had given for each competency rather than the full example i had given.

Do we know how long the interviews are going on for?

Until the 30th. I came out of mine feeling somewhat happy but as the time has gone on I'm getting flashbacks and less confident of a positive outcome.

I felt they did the same to me. Are you currently in revenue

Mac0783 · 22-01-2019 3:08pm

No, Dept. of Education. Did you feel this asked a lot of questions? Did you get to go through your examples?

The first one yes, second, no, Third yes, 4th yes,. 5th he used my example again in the third one. We're you asked about audit and compliance? I wasn't.

Mac0783 · 22-01-2019 3:43pm

I dont think so, why do you want to work in revenue, what could you bring to the role, what research did you do for today's interview. She did ask under the expertise bit, in what way it would be appropriate / relevant to Revenue. Christ the more I think about it, the worse I think I did. .

CZ 453 · 22-01-2019 3:47pm

Was there one tough panel and one nice one?

Mac0783 · 22-01-2019 3:51pm

Oh god, I think mine were fairly tough, there were two ladies and one man, a blonde lady was the Chair..

Who did you have and how would you rate the interview?

CZ 453 · 22-01-2019 4:08pm

I didn't interview. From what I heard, it was a very difficult interview for some. And some seemed to just cruise. The difference being the panel was either nice and going through the motions or absolutely grilling the candidates. That's why I asked was there two panels.

I didn't have that panel. I had two gents and one lady. Mine didn't feel tough but I'm not confident. I've done loads of interviews though in last 12 months.

jw_sweetman · 26-01-2019 4:54pm

Anyone have any idea when we'll get results?

CZ 453 · 26-01-2019 5:03pm

If it was similar to EO - 1 month. It's hard to know given the announcement from Revenue the other day on recruitment. I'd imagine most of the AO positions will be for Dublin so it could be quicker than a month.

I got an OOM email after the EO interviews on 24 October and interviews seemed to end on 12 October after about a month of interviews. I think these AO interviews end on 30 January after 2weeks of interviews. Surely we'll get news within a week (hoping!!!)

Yes it would be nice to get the PFO so I can get on with my life....

Good luck to anyone sitting their interview today. Here's hoping they'll put us out of our misery asap once they're done and dusted.

Misery indeed. Ugh.

Anybody know how many in total were interviewed ?

they called/interviewed up to 89 I think someone said earlier in this thread.

Mac0783 · 31-01-2019 9:33am

And the waiting begins.. so is it to optimistic to assume that the panels want to get all done and dusted this week so they can go back to their own jobs and lives? Therefore panel organised today and then it's just up to revenue to advise us? Emails issuing to us tomorrow??

while I admire your optimism, and hope you're right, I don't think it will be that fast. It's revenue. Unless they are ready to place people it could take a couple weeks. I hope they put me out of my misery soon though

I think 2 of my panel were retired so they're probably enjoying the panelling.

audrey2014 · 01-02-2019 4:48pm

Any word?

Mac0783 · 01-02-2019 4:50pm

Feck ya, when i say the thread coming up, I thought the results are out.

ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ Sorry, I was hoping. Just wanted it to be over!

Mac0783 · 01-02-2019 4:53pm

I know, me too. I know expecting them today is very optimistic but was hoping they wanted to get it done and dusted..

It's the waiting that's the worst, just let me know i didn't pass and we call all move on with our lives.

Ollie321 · 04-02-2019 12:15pm

Results are out

Mac0783 · 04-02-2019 12:31pm

They are! Fair play to Revenue they're super efficient. I can't believe i passed and am on the panel. Happy days :cool:

CZ 453 · 04-02-2019 12:33pm

Does anyone know are there AO positions in Cork? There were none outside Dublin for the AO in Civil Service. Just wondering is it the same for Revenue?

Ollie321 · 04-02-2019 12:43pm

Does anyone know what happens next, for instance if you were placed 1st by OOM and the first job was for Dublin but that wasn't one of your locations selected, would you still be offered that post?

Mac0783 · 04-02-2019 12:47pm

From what I've seen in other competitions, they will now take the national results and filter by region. So no. 50 on national panel might be no. 3 for Cork. All depends on how popular your region is.

From previous campaigns, I think if you are offered a location and it now no longer suits you can refuse and stay on the panel for the other 2 locations you chose.

I believe that PAS give your your panel number by County but I have no idea if Revenue do the same.

Not sure if Revenue do it but it happens in the AO competition for the civil service.

CZ 453 · 04-02-2019 12:50pm

Revenue generally give national panel numbers as results from interview.

Congrats. I was going to say would you not ring someone and ask them to log on for you?

I'm stunned and delighted with my results. Can not believe it.

March??? Wow that's very soon, would existing civil servants not need to give at least 6 weeks notice?

Does anyone know when Revenues annual leave year starts? (Not all Dept's start in January)

Congrats to those who got placed. Didn't make the cut myself, but seeing as I've only been an EO for five months I can't say that I'm surprised. Anyone have any idea when the next one might be held?

I think all AO panels are only 1 year so around September/October it will be ran again.

P.S: It says on the booklet that "The panels created from this competition will expire on 31 December 2019."

SMCG · 04-02-2019 11:24pm

Anyone from Galway have a place on the list?

Mac0783 · 05-02-2019 9:18am

Not from Galway, but Galway is one of my choices. Really hoping not to be offered it.

Ollie321 · 05-02-2019 11:17am

Where does everyone want location wise?

Dundalk1927 · 05-02-2019 11:31am

Forgive my ignorance on this, I had applied for the Civil Service Nationwide AO around the same time and cant remember which competition asked us to select regions. Did we select regions for the Revenue AO competition?

I thought we selected location at application stage?... i have too many campaigns going at this stage.

Anastasia_ · 05-02-2019 12:17pm

We selected at application for Revenue. No option of selection for CS AO.
