Passed, I am genuinely shocked I was sure I failed especially the numerical. Took me ages to build up the courage to open the message.. Congrats to all who passed and sorry to those who didn't

OOM - Mid 800s for Dublin

Verbal - 70
Numerical - 56
Questionaire - 43

There seems to be complete confusion over the significance of placement on OOM.

Are all those that passed likely to progress to e-tray? Does anyone know how long this panel will run for?

The more civil service competitions I enter, the more clear it becomes that the questionaire seems to be a total lottery.

Should I give up hope now and place it elsewhere? Because of the OOM confusion I have no idea where I stand. This is doing nothing to help my coronadole induced anxiety.

As mentioned above, you should get a call to the next stage. Unless you got OOM of say 2,000 you may have to wait.

800s seems high but they will take hundreds in batches I assume.

Also, a lot won't take the next stage, maybe life changes etc.. Means that you will have better chance of getting to interview stage.

Passed

Verbal - 55
Numerical - 65
Questionnaire - 51

Galway OOM - 297

Presume that's the end of the road? Wouldnt imagine they'd be calling much more than 200 for etray?

OOM 847 for Dublin. This mean I'm in it for the long haul? This is my first public service recruitment campaign so am a bit lost as to what all this means.

We can't both be 847 mate. Can we?

So does everyone not in Civil service have a N/A for interdepartmental

You both can, if one is open and the other interdepartmental

Don't say that, I'm mid-300's for Galway.

You can. You both scored the same. For example, 5 people scored the same points and all get OOM of 847. The people who scored one point less than them get OOM of 852 and so on.

Further to your participation in Stage 1 (Questionnaire, Verbal assessment and Numerical Assessment) in respect of your candidature for the above competition, I am pleased to inform you that you have reached the qualifying standard and have been placed on the order of merit for Dublin.

Open stream OOM: 1491
Interdepartmental stream OOM: 539

While you were required to reach the qualifying standard in each test, your place on the order of merit was determined by your scores in the Questionnaire and Verbal Reasoning Test only.

Presuming you're Laois, they have just done G so there are 3 K counties before you're up.

I'm being very pessimistic don't mind me

People shouldn't give up if they're a bit down the OOM. You'll definitely get the opportunity to sit the e-tray and if you do well in that you could see your OOM shoot up. Lots of people who placed will drop out of the competition for various reasons too. A colleague of mine had given up on the last EO comp a while back and just recently he placed well after interview.

Open OOM of 128 in Kerry, not sure what the depth of applications is like here but for a first timer I'm quite happy with that score

A friend of mine only chose the interdepartmental option for their county.


Will they have to sit the etray or is it Straight to interview?

She scored well on the OOM

So I’m 405 for Cork on the OOM. Are you saying that I could improve this in the next round (if things go well obviously!)?

Even though its interdepartmental?

She thought maybe that was only for the open stream.

She be disappointed now lol but sure might not be that bad!

Yes you can improve it on the next 2 rounds

Samsgirl

Will they still send them now after 7?

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Is the OOM cumulative? Or will this one be scrapped entirely once the E-tray is done?

flazio

So, what's next, and when?

Great thank you!

Anonire

Delighted with my oom. Have never done an e tray so that will be new to me.
Think this is the first time my numerical has been better than verbal.
Wondering why they would give adaptive tests for the numerical if it was a pass score only without being counted.

Same here, which led to my confusion. I'm not currently employed with civil service but received a number for open and interdepartmental.

Quick question, but I applied for Meath and Dublin, yet I seem to only have gotten results for Dublin... does anyone know why? Or did the same thing happen to anyone else?
Bit confused about the whole thing....

SouthWesterly

Kerry is up.
Got a higher oom than last time on open and interdepartmental . Lost out to the interview last time due to Covid.

Chances are good.
Wonder how they will do the etray
