    Anyone know what type of degree would be acceptable for this? Would HR or History be any good? I know ideally they would like IT, criminality, law or statistics degrees but the information booklet is very broad and just says “relevant discipline”. I did Q&Q research for my degrees (Level 8 and 9) and use various databases in my current role but it’s not IT etc.

    Hello,

    Anyone have trouble understanding the room scan? Don't think I did it properly for the Verbal test one... Hoping I didn't screw up the whole thing now :/

    im not sure mine was done correctly either. I held my laptop on front of me so I’m not sure what angle was being scanned. Messy way to do it should just use the recordings of people doing the test you can tell / hear if someone is prompting an answer plus you’d need to read out all questions for someone to help. Anyways it was a very long test I think I did better in numerical than verbal so we’ll see

    Yeah I thought verbal was more difficult than numerical but 35mins a test was a lot those tests for EO etc are usually 8mins a section. This is a very slow moving competition

    Got no 6 in a small county and 13 in a bigger county, probably not high enough? How many C and D analysts could be needed per county..

    Wondering about this, are they checking queztinnaire/application form first >shortlisting and then interview. Or you reckon they checked the form already?

    Hard to know but I'm guessing they are checking the application forms at this stage, will save them checking lots of forms of people that didn't make it through

    Tough one, they might want to reduce amount of applicants, do another online assessment and then interview, who knows...

    I placed in the mid 200’s in Dublin and mid 50’s in Kildare anyone else around the same ? I’d imagine they will be checking application forms to put together an interview panel now.

    Nothing yet.. waiting with baited breath. Wonder if they'll go straight to interviews or if there'll be a presentation/exercise beforehand to whittle down the numbers... hopefully not! I presume interviews will continue to be held online despite the recent return to normal since the pandemic...

    Anyone get an update today on the shortlisting results? My OOM has gone up a fair bit in comparison to what it was after the tests... seems a bit unfair! I'm feeling alot less optimistic about this now...
