Hey, I was hoping someone here would be able to clarify/offer some friendly advice. I've been applying for CO and EO civil service jobs for the last few years and finally got placed high enough on the CO panel to hopefully get called for interview. Yesterday I received a message on publicjobs message board for expression of interest. This is my dream job, of course I replied. Today I received an email from the recruiter stating that "At the moment we have sufficient numbers interested at present and you will not be invited to interview for this post on this occasion. We will be in touch when more vacancies arise". I was wondering is this common practice? After years of waiting I was so happy to finally get an interview and today I am devastated. I don't even know how to respond. The message board said that by expressing interest I would be removed from all other panels, is this still the case? And is it common practice to get a candidate's hope up, then shatter their dreams in one small email? Why not email the first 10 on the list and if they're not interested move onto the next batch? I'm very confused, let down, and to be honest upset. Any advice on how to reply to this email without damaging my chances of interviewing in the future or any other advice would be very much appreciated. Also, has this happened to anyone else and how did you deal with it?

My wife got the exact same email. I think they're just checking that you are still interested. A week later after receiving that email, they actually invited her to interview after that. She's starting as a CO next week.

Nothing to worry about imo. You're likely in the next batch of candidates to be interviewed and I'd be surprised if somebody wasnt in touch in the next couple of weeks if my wifes experience is anything to go by. We reckoned they suddenly had a high volume of places crop up and they were checking for interested parties to fill those places ahead of time

Hi, just to let you all know, the HSE is currently running a nationwide drive for clerical officers if anyone is interested. Details in the HSE website. Sorry, can't seem to post the link.

As far as I can make out, this is for Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick only...says nationwide but it has those counties listed in the info booklet.

I'm early 1180s in Dublin and haven't been called to interview yet. I'm glad it's getting close though.

I really hope so. Can't believe how slow Limerick has been. I know everything has slowed down since COVID but other counties are slowly moving . Well let's hope we both hear something in the New Year .

I'm in same position. I am still paying into my private pension, so I get higher tax credit and pay less tax. You cant transfer private pension to public service. You will pay into the single public service pension scheme, about €22 a fortnight.

I thought you could top up by buying extra credits. Don't know where I read that though, probably wrong
Also do you know anything about annual leave software etc
