Won't affect you at all. People drop out of these campaigns all the time. Circumstances change and that can't and won't bar you from applying to open campaigns in the future. I got to job offer stage once in civil service and turned it down because the location and role didn't suit me. Two years later and I'm in a different civil service role that I love.

Thank you.

Also keep in mind these things can take a while, so staying in now (if you can) may give you back up options later in the year (not sure what the speed of the panel is in cork from stage 2 to job).

Thank you. Yes I considered the turn around time, but decided it's not the right move for me for probably a few years due to family commitments.

I would email and fight your case.

Did you not get a text message also? They always send a text along as email. Well I always got texts to tell me to log into my public jobs profile to view a message.

I didn't get a text either, just an email. Maybe it's a consent box to tick. Must check that.

I can't remember, it was so long ago I signed up.

But I searched public jobs in my sms inbox there and over the last 3/4 year's I've got about 20 SMS messages telling me to view my public jobs message board.

Hi I was interviewed in November and placed 50 OOM batch 16 for Dublin but havnt heard anything yet. Is this unusual. I've check voicemail, emails and message board and no contact since interview results on 16/11
Ive emailed pas this evening after discovering this thread.. Any advice. I'm terrified I've missed something or is this normal?

I would email and ask what OOM they're at, theyve been on batch 16 for a long time now its unusual if they havent got to 50. But its always worth asking

Hi all.

Just a few questions...

Does the dept. of social protection have flexi time? Is there a dress code? I have a nostril piercing (ring) and wondering if it will be an issue.

Also, is pay weekly or monthly in the CS?

Last I heard they were late 90s in Batch 16 and that was about 2 weeks ago. I'd email them to see

Hi, your nose piercing will be no issue at all, there is flexi-time and the dress code is casual and pay is weekly.

Oom in Wicklow is 33 and has been since last November. Not moving at all at the moment

ellejay

Thanks that's interesting!
A friend was OOM 54 for Wicklow but took a position for Dublin, started Jan 4th.
They regretted accepting the Dublin position and felt had they waited they'd have got placed in Wicklow.
Good to know that's not the case!

Do ye think the panel will be extended?

Does anyone know what type of work a clerical officer would be carrying out at the Dept of Agriculture?

A friend is in the Dept of Ag.
They're in Dublin Port, be aware of that as it's awkward to get to if you've no car.
The Dept of Ag has many offices around Dublin so you could be anywhere.

My friend's work is clerical admin stuff.
Answering the phone, replying to emails that kind of thing.
You're not out dealing with trucks / drivers.

They really like the office though it's quite busy, definitely not an easy ride as the media make civil service jobs out to be.

Thank you

How long for interview results after doing rosslare port interview?

Tashajulia1993

My references where handed in a week ago by my current employer, does it usually take this long for them to get in touch with a start date?

Depends on really what they/you were employed as and what division they/you are assigned too. Is it Clerical Officer (CO) or Clerical Officer Portal Inspector (COPI)?

Hi I'm hoping i can get an answer. I did the interview for the Dublin Revenue customs officer last Friday. It went well ( i think). The location just wont suit me. I now know that I initially should have ignored this expression of interest. I'm hoping i dont pass the interview now. My question is if I pass the interview, can i decline the offer and they put me back on the panel? Many thanks

Probably best to email the Revenue CO email address that PAS are using. I can send it to you by private mail if you dont have it. Did they say by any chance when they would get back to you to tell you your result?

My references were contacted a few week ago but haven't heard anything since, is this normal? and if I got this far and am unsuccessful will I be contacted and told or are you essentially ghosted unless you get a position start date?

It like they are delaying your start due to the level 5 restrictions. If they give you a start date and contract they have to put you on the payroll from that date, which would be a waste of money if they can't train you in.

I was called for a panel interview for the Training & Education board, has anyone interviewed with them? I have never done a panel interview so any insight would be great

Aqu87

So reply was they they contacted me for clearance on 13/1 batch 16 OOM 50 yet I have no email or message board or phone call.

I have expressed Im am still interested so hears hoping they get back to me soon.

Another question is if I apply for an ETB service officer role would that affect panel position.

I'm in the same boat, I got offered AGS and references where contacted a week ago and still havent heard anything, starting to get impatient now

How long did it take to get all your clearance to come back. I believe after Garda vetting there is another longer check?
My vetting came back in 2 days wondering how long for further checks to complete and asked for references?

Thanks
