Hello all,
Does anyone know how far they are with the Cork panel? TIA

I asked late last week re Cork.this was the reply:
“Currently calling open oom 46 to stage 2 etray” and “anyone who scored 125 in the test received an order of merit of 46 for Cork”

I’m actually not quite sure what this means except I have not and it seems will not be called!

Also said no plans to call anyone further for Cork but panel will remain open until June 22.
Hope this helps

Cork is very slow moving for both etray & interviews.

I did the etray in Feb (anyone up to OOM 46) & have received the results already.

I emailed regarding being called to interview following these results & was told it was demand led basis & so far no one in Cork had been called to interview . This was a couple of weeks ago so that may have changed hopefully. Hard to believe there are no EO positions available in Cork??

Any update on Kerry

Verbal Reasoning Test
Qualifying Score 39
Your Score XXX

Numerical Reasoning Test
Qualifying Score 39
Your Score XXX

Questionnaire
Qualifying Score 37
Your Score XX

Total Score (Verbal & Questionnaire): XXX

That is how the score was delivered after stage 1. Is that answering your question?

Hi, can you tell me what was your oom, in order for you to get to the interview stage? I'm still waiting for even the e-tray, not even sure if they will call me now.

PatMurph

Fair play, I'm still waiting myself so I understand the excitement.

Hi Aleece, I have my interview next week and am focussing on competencies and examples for these, just wondering how you found it and what sort of questions you were asked? Were you asked anything about current news or Civil service values/future plans etc? Any advice much appreciated!

Ours took until May (I was in the February batch), so it could take a while? Hopefully the 3rd batch will be quicker though good luck

It took me around 6 weeks. I sat my e-tray around the middle of November and I got my results the week before Christmas. From there I had my interview in late January, had results around two weeks after that and started clearance Mid-March.

Oh I know. It was so frustrating for us February lot, at about 9 weeks they sent us emails notifying a delay- but you'll get there in the end! Hope its not too long before you guys get called for interview too

Hi!

They mostly went with the competencies for the interview; but they did ask me what I thought the Civil services values were towards the end and discussed them. It’s a good to have a few notes ready about them to talk about. They also asked a few general questions; did I have hobbies etc.

I’ve heard it’s 1-2 weeks for result, I’m watching my emails obsessively. I was in the batch that had etray results delayed so I’m anxious LOL

I emailed PAS for an update on the interview stage for Dublin and they got back to me today to say they have called up to 165 OOM in the open Dublin panel to interview.
I presume that’s batch 2!
