Waiting Room - 2020

    I stopped waiting.

    2018 campaign, Stage 3 in September, OOM 60s, Irish test in January 2019. Lived in 5 countries on 3 continents so I knew my vetting would take ages from the outset. I am in my 30s, had dead end office job and was not pursuing my passions. So I decided to try to become an emergency medicine physician instead. It involved 1 entrance test and proof of a 2H1 level 8 degree. So I applied to take the medical college test in March 2019, half thinking it wouldnt work out as it is competitive. Well here I am 1 year into medical school and if I hadn't withdrawn Im nearly certain my vetting would still be outstanding today.

    My advice is to live life and enjoy it if you have a long wait. It makes it easier. You may end up doing something else like me or just racking up a bunch of cool experiences before AGS dictates the rest of your off time for 30 years.


    Well said!!

    I’ve rejected promotions thinking AGS was going to happen sooner that this.

    Still Keeping the faith but I’m gonna start walking through the doors that are open for now

    Just phoned Appointments. Apparently medical didn't notify the other sections of my medical clearance which happened 2 weeks ago. Might be worth ya;ll ringing and checking if you're in a similar situation.

    No, I'm waiting on another date too. Think I seen in the Irish Times that the lecturers from templemore are out in the force until June. Maybe this might be one of the reasons why we haven't gotten any dates yet

    So having been told over the phone previously that everything was good to go pending medical clearance (which has now been acknowledged) I got an email reply said 'Please be advised that your application is undergoing final checks.'

    Does this actually mean good to go, or what ?

    Emailed HR today. Same old automated response. Multi Tiered etc...

    That's the last response I got before receiving an offer, but someone also said on here that they were getting that response for about a year. Fingers crossed for you.
