    Hi all, has anyone accrued annual leave from their role and then got promoted, I am currently finished my unpaid maternity but I have 59 days holidays that I was going to take at the end and I'm in the clearance process and just wondering how that works, can I still take the leave when it's been granted

    Lads, I'll be honest. I did crap in this contest lol.


    I filled out everything very well, explaining in detail how I worked with my team during work experience, software I use etc.. still did quite badly.

    I'm not trying to throw a pity party, but is it just that I'm still in college and haven't much experience yet that I ranked low?

    Will my OOM go up a lot after I graduate?


    Thanks

    Have you had an interview yet?

    Your initial OOM is based only on your performance in the tests.

    The second OOM is based on your performance at interview. Your application form provides background information to the interview panel but has no real impact on the OOM following interview.

    I'm sure this has been answered countless times but I'm struggling to find a definitive answer. I'm a CO since 2020 on pay scale point 3, will I start on the first EO pay scale point or go up a point? Basically how much will I be on once I'm an EO. Thanks

    Hi Onthefence,

    I haven't had an interview yet no, Guess ill just study harder for the tests next time.

    So the application form where you fill out your work experience dosent have ANY effect on your initial OOM at all?

    Your performance in the Verbal and Situational tests are purely what determine your OOM. Numerical you just have to pass. The info you filled out is for interview time, giving the interview panel a bit about you and allowing them to probe for answers etc and get a full picture of how you would fit into the job.

    There's no real study to be done, it's just reading the questions carefully and answering what it asks for. Situational is very hit or miss. I thought my Situational for AO was extremely difficult, but did far better in it than EO. It brought my oom up alot too, now wether that is enough, that remains to be seen, but practising online tests can help.

    Look at your Salary, the actual numerical value and find the closest to it on the EO scale.

    That's where you start.

    Update for Mayo & Sligo

    I'm OOM 8 for Mayo and OOM 6 for Sligo and I got an expression of interest for interview today.


    FYI you can only give expression of interest for one county.

    Can anyone advise what comes next? Is there an application form?

    Does anyone recommend winging this interview? I've just sat down to prepare and my brain is just saying no after a long week of work 😂😂

    Interview on Tuesday and I usually do well under pressure 🤞🏻

    I was around OOM 400 Dublin Open by the way, anyone who's wondering.
