I did mine during the week. My number was between 120-129. Found the interview very different from what I expected. Less emphasis on my examples and more on how this and that relates to being a heo. If I am not successful it was a very good learning experience

I wonder if it will be the same format for this competition?

Mine was the same threw me and i really prepared. They also asked questions based off my (a) parts rather than my (b) i don't think I did too well but i suppose we never really know. Don't think i've done well in this either:( ah well its a good job i love what i do

Yes I had mine during the week too number 155. I found the interview to be very like that to more so asking how I would be as a HEO rather then the examples I gave

When I signed in to the Interview it came up the top candidate 155, do I was guessing I was 155 from that.

Separate internal one

I did the revenue internal in February, does anyone know when results are due out.

I heard that interviews were for 6 weeks.


Hoping to get it although didn’t interview great it would be a great learning curve

Interviews are going on till at least 2nd week of April.

So results will probably be a week after last interview, by the time the panels are snaked, emails are done and the board signs off on them. So drawn out. I had mine last week so i can only imagine the torture of waiting since feb.

Yeh I think I was one of the first to have it. Although I was glad to get it out of the way and not have it hanging over my head.

It’s hard to tell how you do in these sort of interviews and what way they are scoring you

I'm thinking either today or Friday. Had a look back on the 2020 EO and they had the results 2 weeks and 2 days after the closing date of the stage 1b

The_Conductor

Good luck everyone.

redmgar

its usually just before a break such as a weekend, the cynical might say that is to avoid being inundated with queries the next day.

keepkeyyellow

Does anyone feel like emailing pas ?

My gut is next week Friday

neevobeevo

I would imagine PAS would be vague in their response as always. I'm thinking they'll wait until after St Patrick's day so as not to spoil anyone's holiday (by anyone I mean me, not hopeful at all). Best of luck to everyone

Hmmm I don't know..
It is very hard to say really
I think I did well or okay at least in some competencies and fell down on others...
I don't expect to panel but it was a learning experience and will definitely help for future interview(s) I think and hope...

I might hire an interview coach the next time though... Lol

How did you find it?

Mine was the same. And I agree 100% about learning experience

Just a hunch!

Probably wrong but never know....

Lol, they'll arrive, when they arrive........
They do tend to like the evening before a holiday- apparently its so people don't get the 5th from colleagues who know they're waiting on the results.

My money is on the Thursday before good Friday

Well, some of you were right but not about this competition...the Internal Housing EO competition results were just announced.
