Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

You receive your station normally between 2 to 3 weeks prior to your attestation. I know of people who had welfare cases in and were accommodated while others were not. Each case is individual though.

How did ya get on what was ur OOM?

Any one have any idea what the highest oom got pass results back today I’m in the 600s said test are being corrected in oom from stage one over next few weeks just wondering what oom have corrected and emailed results to so far ?

Cheers so up to around 400 .. wondering how many got results in this batch what oom had already bee called ?

got results this morning and made it to stage 3, just wondering anyone who filled out the application for for the interview what details do they want for “Responsibilites and Achievements” ? is if the tasks and duties you do at work?

also for education details is it your most recent education like for example if you have a degree you don’t need to write down your leaving cert results. ? thank you and good luck to everyone for stage 3

I would shave the beard to be honest. There will be an inspector on the interview panel and some inspectors would be old school and not in favour of beards in the job. So for that reason I would shave it.

You could get an inspector who has a beard himself, but just in the off chance you got one that's not in favour, I'd be clean shaven.

They wouldn't fail you on a beard alone, but if you ended up 50/50 as in pass or fail then the beard might tip it against you if he/she was old school. Best of luck.

thanks for this, this was my concern. Better be safe than sorry I guess

Has anyone an idea of what they're looking for in the "any other relevant information" question in the form after stage 2?

I've no idea what to put down

I don't think they are looking for anything specific, I just treated it as a section to include anything you think would strengthen your application that doesn't fit into the previous categories. E.g courses (first aid, child protection etc.) or competency in certain things (e.g computer systems). Basically anything that makes you look like you are committed to your application and have tried to strengthen it.

Keep in mind though once it's on your application form they can ask you about it at interview, so don't put down anything you aren't comfortable discussing.

I struggled more with the volunteering section. I've never volunteered for anything a day in my life. I'd imagine most people are the same but the fact they've a section dedicated to volunteering stuff seems a bit odd

I just put down what I wanted them to ask me during the interview to make myself sound better. So technological literacy, interest in fitness, hobbies that make me seem less like a lazy bastard etc.

I don't think the application form is even marked so I wouldn't worry too much about it. It just seems to be a formality before the interview (which is marked)

submitted application form, how long after you submitted we’re people waiting to select a date for the interview ?

I had a fairly similar idea but as others have said I doubt it is massively important what is on the form here.

At the end of the day it's a competency based interview so if you can give them examples of being competent in the five areas your looking for whatever you filled in for this section isn't going to change your result in any major way.

from what dates are they running? i submitted today can’t see anything about booking

30th to the 9th I booked and have a confirmation email but it's not listed in my bookings now. Strange

That's very strange, there was definitely a notification for batch one before you could book.
