What number have they called in Kerry

I have my start date and dept. I know nothing about what the dept does. What is the expectation of me entering a dept with no knowledge? Should I cram as much in now before I start or should I just go in and soak in as much info is necessary during training? I'm a bit panicked

The training part will be enough no need to panic it’s the CS after all I’ve seen new staff not being able to use a computer.

Hi i have been assigned to The National Shared Services Office (NSSO) in Dublin part of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER). Has anyone worked within this department. I don't know anyone working within this department so am unsure what to expect. Very nervous.

Just got expression of interest for an interview in Galway. I'm in high 170's but they were only at 105 2 weeks ago, do they send these out a good bit before they reach our oom or would they be moving on fairly quickly through oom?

Wondering if someone can help answer this for me please. I was due to start as CO in revenue in May just gone, but at the last minute, it was deferred and I now have a new starting date in early September. In the meantime, I started another job which is better paid, but quite stressful but also enjoyable. I know everyone's overall deductions will be different depending on tax credits etc but are pension deductions and Union fees the same for everyone? Just trying to guage if I will be able to justify leaving a better paid job (but which is only a 2 year contract, for permanency but significantly less take home pay). Could someone tell me how much is taken for the above 2 deductions please and thanks?

Look you will likely be in the CS until you retire so just consider that, but do try to help yourself some bit, main thing keep you’re head down for first year probation and after that your almost billet proof.

My interview was in late June and my OOM is 25. I hope this helps!

Anyone having issues hearing back from a representative from clearance? Emailed the general clearance email address for help, as the woman I was in contact with for Dublin hasn’t been in touch in 2 weeks. Garda vetting cleared there last Friday, but worried because my boss said he never received an email with the reference form they need filled in and that it will slow everything down in being placed.

citygirl22

Congratulations @ciara_mar thats great News what county did you interview for? I had my interview on Thursday for Cork but I haven’t heard anything yet so I’m not to hopeful that I passed😥.

sunnyside21

@citygirl22 how did you find the interview? I’ve got mine on Thursday. What sort of questions did they ask you was it all mainly competency based and did they ask for a second example? Did they let you speak much or did they interrupt you a lot?

citygirl22

Hi @sunnyside21 , they were very nice , they broke the interview into parts firstly they talked about the info on your application and passed education &work history then they moved onto the competency’s . They explained that they would be interrupting and not to take offence. One ans seemed sufficient I didn’t get a chance to say other stuff. I felt the start of the interview went well and the first two competency’s but the 2nd part I really struggled with.I didn’t prepare enough for those areas and they could tell. I was kicking myself for that. Some questions I just couldn’t ans and they tried there best to help by expanding the question and giving slight hints but I just drew a blank I was so embarrassed over that.

I tried my best otherwise and hopefully I came across ok and confident. I was extremely nervous , I haven’t interviewed for over 20 years. So I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️Fingers crossed it will be good news , Best of luck with yours once you prepare you will be fine fine. 😊

sunnyside21

@citygirl22 aw fingers crossed you got on ok. It’s always hard to judge how you were perceived. Good luck I hope you pass

ciara_mar

Of course yea, I'll prepare myself for my own confidence and piece of mind for going in but I literally have zero familiarity with the service this dep offers

citygirl22

@sunnyside21 thank you

Dslatt

I passed the interview, my employer has sent back my reference and my garda vetting has been completed and viewed, what kind of timeline would I be looking at for an offer of placement?

I’m in the 120’s for KK and got expression of interest for interview Tuesday.

citygirl22

@Dslatt congratulations , how long after the interview did they let u know u passed ?

drippininheat

When people pass the interview are they getting a new OOM then or is it just a case you passed and wait it out then to see if you get offered a position? I've just selected Donegal and have my interview next week
