Administrative Officer (graduate) (general) 2022 civil service

Anyone know how high up the OOM they tend to go for each comp? I’m in the 400s - do I stand a chance?

@TheLukeFella I think this panel only lasts for up to twelve months (according to the spec) so I doubt they will go that high, but thats only an assumption on my behalf

It seems they called up to 450 in the general AO 2021 and up to at least 350 in 2020, just based on the old threads up here.

It usually ends up finishing at between 300 & 500 in the OOM.

Can't speak for last year specifically but that's been my observation over 5ish years.

I finished in the OOM 70's this time around and now being called to interview in early December. I just got assigned through a separate competition panel for AO, so this is very weird timing. I scored in the 1000s AO general OOM not even two years ago when I was working as a Clerical Officer. Anyone disappointed with their results, just know you're very well capable to getting through the interviews, especially if you're passing the competency tests already. Keep applying, you'll find you will improve with each competition. I barely passed the verbal reasoning first time around and just now feeling like I got the hang of it.

I got an oom of over 1000 in 2020 while half assing it frankly. I’m between 160 to 170 now and there’s not a huge difference in my scores. It’s all very fine margins. Be interesting to see how many they call for interview. We’re probably entering a recession year which may be impactful.

Got OOM in the early 300’s for this latest AO competition. Anyone any idea of when or if I’ll be called for interview ? 😅

My brother interviewed for it today, he was lucky in that a topic came up that he would be familiar with through his studies and current job. He was happy with how it went, they were a lot more flexible in asking questions and probing what he said compared to the Executive Officer interview so he is reasonably confident he might scrape through. He didn't get the Executive Officer position.

My brother got an email today saying he had passed the interview stage and he is 49 in the OOM for Batch 1.

Ah WELL DONE! I got through in the top 30 so looking forward to being assigned after Christmas. I found the presentation & interview BRUTAL so I'm very relieved.

@odelazy Everyone from Batch 1 (Top 80 OOM from Stage 1) will have heard today, with their new OOM.

So is everyone that passed the interview stage in Batch 1 likely to be offered a role?

Well done to everyone who passed!! You can put your feet up for the holidays now knowing you'll get placed sometime after Christmas ❄️I ended up getting assigned on a different AO panel so thought it best to remove myself from this competition's interview/presentation stage to avoid burnout 😓 Happy Christmas all ✨
