2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

Hi any movement in mayo or Sligo and if so what Oom are ye thanks

They're reasonably flexible with start dates, most people will have to give a month's notice and garda vetting if applicable will take 4 to 6 weeks.

I asked a pal who was hired in the last competition (although we're in cork) and he didn't think pre Christmas start dates were realistic

Although who knows really

Can anybody advise on the emails issued with EOI for interview; what kind of window do you have to accept/reject?

Would anyone have any insight to working in Dep of Social Protection?

I got word of interview today and need to respond by afternoon Thursday.

A friend and ex colleague of mine is in there about 2 years now and is very happy with it. Don't have any specifics for you unfortunately.

Hi All, for anyone who had interview did you prepare a competency for Specialist knowledge, expertise and self development and another for Drive and Commitment? The interview familiarisation booklet has these 2 merged into 1, so showing 5 rather than 6 areas. Thanks for your help 😊

I received my results this week and these two were scored together out of 50 while all others were scored individually. I did prepare examples for both though they could have been used for either.

Hi all,

For those who have received their results, what is the pass mark required in each competency to pass the interview?

Having been successful with the interview. I've just received a mail to confirm my qualifications and unfortunately. I think I've f**cked myself.

I know, I know, I know I should have checked this before hand but having read the requirements this morning. I realised I don't have the required qualifications. My leaving cert had only 2 passes at higher level . Not the 5 required.

So after the application , aptitude and interview. I think I'm bunched. Can't believe that my 18 year old leaving cert is going to be my downfall.

Has anybody any advice for me on this or like I said. Have i just f**cked myself ?

To clarify , I have zero qualifications other than the leaving cert and years of management and work experience.

Thanks for that. I can't believe I've made this mistake. I know it's my own fault for need reading the full details in the first place but it stings nonetheless.

A real shame that my proven experience in the private sector won't count for much. Was willing to take a massive pay cut too to get out of the industry I'm in.

Any movement in Sligo or mayo and what Oom

I have interview for wexford in 2 weeks

For anyone who has completed their interview and passed, have you done the location preferences yet?

I'm in Cork and I'm not sure if I'm cutting off my nose selecting my top 3 locations (but I'd be willing to work in about 15 of them) like does order of merit come second to location preference? Or is it just a twist on the 45km rule

Does that even make sense 🤯

Hi everyone, bit of an off-topic question, so my apologies.

I was just wondering if anyone knows what the work hours are like over the Christmas/New Year period? Just thinking ahead in terms of childcare while I work.

Thanks 😊
