I think this is the hardest wait...when or if I will receive vetting forms. The unknown is a pain! Also I've lost all interest in my current job. Sounds awful but can't help it!

FYI

I would suggest that anyone who thinks they may be moving ahead to start getting your vetting stuff together now, be it lists of addresses / references / certificates etc etc. The vetting process is a long process, so the more accurate and complete the info is at the beginning the better.
I also suggest that you copy everything ( I mean everything ) and keep a log of who & when for phone calls etc, for your own reference as trying to trace a document that you’ve already sent in can be soul destroying.

Yeah! I managed to nab one! There seemed to be 20 slots available for interview and I was 10 in Galway and 54 (I think) nationally... If that's any help figuring how many they're doing!

What's people doing to prep for the interview? Haven't done on in so long so very nervous and outta practise!

How do you know where you are in Galway vs nationally? Did you ask PAS specifically?

Once the interview info comes out, my OH will be prepping answers to all competencies in STAR format

Yeah, I emailed and asked them.

Oh great, that sounds good! Thanks! Will they be sending out the competencies with the info or is it competencies at the very end of the unital job description? Sorry for all the questions, haven't applied for a pubic service job before so all new to me 😊

For my interview it was discussing the application form followed by 5 competencies. Alot of questions in relation to them. They are tied to time so will move you on if you're going over time in your answers.

Thanks for the heads up! Just wish I knew I was going to be vetted or if I'm too far down the panel.

Well done so far!! Can I ask if the OOM we originally got was national or just for the area you applied for then? Just so I know how far down I am! I got around 200 but not sure if it’s nationally or for Dublin? Thanks

For me it was that the OOM we got initially was nationally and was then told that I was 10 in Galway after asking. I'd imagine it's the same for everyone!

mrscoco30

I wonder was it different then for the Incident Creation representatives and the Emergency Call Takers? Was there one OOM for Castlebar and one for the other 4 areas?

Nothing! I'm the worst for patience. It's just strange doing an interview, passing & then not knowing if you'll have a job or not!

TP2021

Are there interviews for Castlebar this week? My oom is 70 and was told they had interviewed 58 in the first batch of interviews so thought I would be in this batch.

I think from previous posts that the interviews for the rest of the country start today. Could be wrong! I interviewed for Castlebar about 4 weeks ago.

TP2021

Its interviews for call takers this week!

I think they might be holding off on appointments until galway panel is in place as there will be quite a few who would have both areas down

marmar1324

Good luck everyone!
