@isabella5 do you know what week or date the interviews are being held for the people up to OOM 105 for Dublin?

Dubjane · 15-10-2022 5:49pm

They are starting this week

Ber25 · 15-10-2022 7:41pm

What is the timeline for preparing the presentation? My understanding is that you have 7 days to prepare it. How soon before the interview date does it need to be submitted?

redmgar · 16-10-2022 8:20am

I have a great recommendation for a person for interview prep if anyone needs one. Pm me.

Merrymac · 16-10-2022 1:24pm

You will receive the topics for presentation 9 days in advance of your interview, however you have it submit it two days beforehand therefore you have 7 days to prepare it. It is recommended you spend 3-4 hrs in total on preparation.

Best of luck to anyone attending Interview this week and next. 🤞🤞

MaryRyan48 · 17-10-2022 2:45pm

Can I ask where the panel is currently for Dublin for those who have passed interview?

I'm interviewing this week ( 🤢 ) and just wondering if successful how quickly the panel moves?

MaryRyan48 · 17-10-2022 3:38pm

Also how long after interview will they let us know? Roughly!

Dubjane · 17-10-2022 8:55pm

For the presentation are you just reading out what you have sent them? Or bullet pointing and expanding on that?

MaryRyan48 · 17-10-2022 10:56pm

I am bullet pointing and then going to expand! Will have flashcards filled out to help me. I timed mine and it's between 6&7 minutes (presuming 6 with the fast talking nerves!!) Hope that's long enough 🙈 such a minefield!

Kittykat6 · 20-10-2022 4:56pm

Looks like they are moving to last batch that were shortlisted got my interview date today for 8th November :) for Dublin

20-10-2022 5:07pm

Im about 20 behind you and I didnt get a date... so they were at 102 and they have passed 140 but didnt get to the 160s, it implies another 50 or so brought forward

dammo1234 · 21-10-2022 7:40am

Hi all just wondering if anyone in the regional areas (westmeath/roscommon) have heard anything about interviews yet?

22-10-2022 8:13am

@MaryRyan48

How did your interview go??

MaryRyan48 · 23-10-2022 3:11pm

@becsdan

It's so hard to know! I felt so relieved to have had the presentation out of the way that I found it hard to switch on properly for the interview left out lots that I had wanted to say. I was exhausted after it 🤣 should know on or before 11th November!

23-10-2022 6:26pm

@MaryRyan48

Congratulations for completing it. I've heard from a few people that it's quite tough, especially with quick firing questions.

You should be proud of yourself for getting this far. 👏👏

MaryRyan48 · 23-10-2022 9:38pm

@becsdan awh thank you! Very proud of myself for getting through the presentation as I've a massive fear of public speaking 😭 almost pulled out on numerous occasions so even if I don't get it it's a major personal milestone!!

When are you up? Best of luck with it 😁 wonder how quickly the panel is moving!

24-10-2022 10:18am

@MaryRyan48

Fantastic. I'm the week of the 14th November.

Seems to be moving quick enough!

Hopefully you won't be waiting long,think that's the worse part.

MaryRyan48 · 24-10-2022 1:32pm

@becsdan best of luck you'll be fine!

Yes they said it'll be 2 weeks after the last interview for this batch so we will know in or around the 11th of November! Waiting is definitely the worst!

m02 · 24-10-2022 4:39pm

I had my interview last Thursday and found it very tough, Board were nice but they kept interrupting me and firing questions at me. Did anyone else experience this?

Busle · 24-10-2022 6:58pm

Did anyone read their presentation?

Herewego22 · 24-10-2022 9:05pm

Did anyone use Carr Communications to help with their presentation exercise as well as interview? Its so expensive so just wondering is it worth paying out that much when I may get away with reading the presentation on the day. Good luck all 😁

Herewego22 · 24-10-2022 9:08pm

Have the regional interviews started yet, anyone called for interview in Louth?

MaryRyan48 · 25-10-2022 10:20am

I think it's a positive that they are moving you on...they are either satisfied that you have given them the answer they want or else trying to direct you onto another path to get the correct answer they need within your timeframe! Such little time for each competency, I really wouldn't take it personally. Best of luck with it 😁

I used flashcards so it was basically my presentation but with the extra bits I wanted to make sure I covered!

do they cross over?

are you asked any questions on your presentation during the interview.

Skweefie · 25-10-2022 9:17pm

Just got my invitation today, I'm close to 160 for Dublin.

MaryRyan48 · 25-10-2022 10:35pm

No...you present first for 10 mins, another 10mins of questions then from the board on the presentation then it's completely parked and they move onto the interview part.
