2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

Thank you so much for this. I’m in the low 40s for inter D, 90s for open in Offaly.

Someone mentioned qualifications required for the interdepartmental competition. I had just presumed you just needed 2 years service in the Civil Service to qualify. I never looked when i applied. I did my leaving cert in the 80s. I didn't do any higher level subjects! I do have an Accounting Technician Diploma which is Level 6. Would this qualify me? I also looked at the HEO competition and it doesn't mention leaving cert qualifications only 2 years service so I'm very confused. Hoping someone can clarify this for me. Thanks

The information booklet says that you have to have 2 years in civil service plus the educational qualifications. That's what is confusing me. It says..........be serving as a Civil Servant with at least two years’ service and have obtained at least five subjects in the Established Leaving Certificate Examination (including Mathematics and Irish or English), three of which should be minimum Grade C (or post 2017 Leaving Certificate H4 grade) at Higher level, the others should be at a minimum Grade D (or post 2017 Leaving Certificate O6 grade) at Ordinary level; or have passed an examination(s) which would be acceptable to the Public Appointments Service as being of at least an equivalent standard to the Established Leaving Certificate.

The educational requirements appear to be the same for open and interdepartmental. I know of EOs who don't have a degree so I'm thinking this is a new requirement.

That’s from the Open booklet. Those quals correspond to the open stream. In other words civil servants with 2 years service with those quals would be eligible on the open. These quals would generally apply to current EOs who may want to go for it to change depts or something but wouldn’t be eligible for interd as they are a currently serving EO

There is a separate circular for the Interdepartmental stream. DPER issue this to local HRs who in turn email it out to staff. It’s not published because you have to be a current serving civil servant in a grade below an EO with at least 2 years service by the closing date, no quals for the interdepartmental stream. Interdepartmental streams are promotional streams so you have to be a currently serving in a grade below. Hence they aren’t published outside the civil service. HEO comp is another example of such.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if and when I can expect to be called for interview for Dublin open?

I am in the mid 500s OOM.

Many thanks

You will 100% be called, it’s not moving that slow. They’ve called around 300 already and results were only issued in august, I’d say January or February and you’ll get an invitation to interview. They called a few thousand the last time for Dublin.

In my experience, yes.

Thank you for your reply 😊

Hi @thejollyhen, I know for CO 2022 they did not issue new OOM's following interview, not sure what they are doing in the comp

Has anyone received an invitation to interview in Nov. yet?

Thank you for reply

I've just sent an email to PAS about Westmeath and Offaly, will update here with reply when received

Just had my interview there, jesus I flunked that. Felt like I was waffling. I'm really sick at the moment as well so that didn't help things. Anyone have any words of encouragement where you felt you did badly but still passed?

Hi tinseldreamz, I had my interview today also and have mixed feelings on how it went. It was extremely fast paced. Fingers crossed we will get positive result!
