I got OOM 378 this year for Donegal. I was OOM 50 last year and didn't get an interview. I think applicant numbers have shot up as so many here are out of work or in precarious work . I dont think I will get called for interview in Donegal this year if last year was anything to go by. I gained some extra qualifications in admin related skills during lockdown, but suspect I fall down on the psychometric testing.

At OOM 378 for Donegal I really didn't think I would get called or even hear from PAS again this year. But I didn't check my email this weekend and missed out. Turns out Friday evening last I got an message saying I had to register interest before Monday 9 am to be considered as 'still interested ' in a TCO position. I only noticed the message yesterday so this year's competition is over for me. The moral is - check you emails regularly and don't assume Friday evening email means I can leave it to Monday morning.

If you turn down an offer, can you be placed back on the panel or is that it?

I'm being interviewed soon, and I'm seeing people here being offered 12-16 week contracts. I wouldn't personally take a contract that short as I'd be leaving full time employment so would want something like 6 months.

If I explain that as my reason for turning down a shorter contract, do I go back on the panel or goodbye?

Hi everyone, I went into this blindsided. I have been offered a job with Intreo in Bray which is 1 hour away. It's 14 week contract. What do I do after 14 weeks? Do I get social payment or put into another job straight away? I'm confused? Would you leave a permanent job? Was hoping to get into AGS. Thanks.

I emailed them confirming my interview and providing ID, three days before the cutoff.

I received a message on publicjobs saying I never confirmed so I'm out of the running. Wtf?

I'd email them with a copy of the original email attached an ask them to reconsider.

I had problems with sending emails with attachments to the TCO email address when I was trying to send in requested documents. In the end I had to get someone's direct email address and send it to there as the TCO address was rejecting any of my emails with attachments.

While uploading the documents did anyone else not have a way to exit the screen? All the documents went green and said uploaded but there was no done button or anything so I'm panicking now if they actually uploaded.

Had a call from HR in AGS about a 12 week contract. Anyone any experience working with AGS?

They are usually very quick about replying, I'm wondering if the new campaign will be opening shortly?

Good to know offers are still going out. I'm in a different part of the country and had deferred my place on the panel when I got a short duration offer earlier in the year as I was still in a longer contract from an offer from the 2020 panel. When that ended I reactivated my place on the 2021 panel but I've heard nothing since despite being high in the order of merit.

Had my interview back at the end of July, OOM in the 1900s for Dublin, and was offered a position today

Hi all

I have been asked to attend an interview next week. I am having a problem downloading the various forms I need to send before the interview. There are 3 of them. Any idea what problem could be. Thanks

You will be asked about previous work placements. Different scenarios. Have a look at the familiarisation info as well. Just wondering if you have sent your scanned docs. I have mine on PDF and word just wondering what one to upload. Bit confused.

oh just seeing that info now!

Hi all,

I was employed on an 8 week open contract as a TCO last year. I was 'terminated' as it was put and let go a short while after my 8 weeks was up.

I intend to have another go at this years campaign, and see if I have better luck..but here is the problem I am now facing; I contacted my manager about a reference regarding this employment and they basically sent me a copy of the letter I recieved outling the reason for my contract termination, not even a letter stating my employment dates.

Just wondering what are my options now for a reference that will be accepted by P.A.S.?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Any idea what my options are now regarding a reference for the 2021 TCO campaign? As I say, my manager didn't give me a proper reference from my last TCO assignment so I'm at a loss as to what to do now for a reference. 😔
