Iggy1986 · 29-01-2023 10:27am

Is the pass mark still 20 out of 50 for each competency in the interview?

Yes

Kurokishi · 29-01-2023 6:31pm

Anyone know how many have been called to interview in Dublin open so far? I'm mid 800s.

Pas are up to oom 798 for Dublin open.

@Kurokishi Will you let us know if you get called. I'm not too far behind you.

kilkengal · 30-01-2023 2:01pm

Anyone have an update on where Laois is at?

kind of regretting not accepting the Offaly interview now…

rsl1976 · 30-01-2023 2:42pm

Had my interview today, think I let the nerves get the better of me, not hopeful of passing

Alonso77 · 30-01-2023 2:43pm

Limerick seems to be painfully slow again this time around - last comp I think less than 40 were placed in total

carlyam2 · 30-01-2023 3:11pm

In relation to laois I checked last week and I was told there are no vacancies in laois so they have not called anyone currently and they can't say when or if any will come up.

Kildare has called up to 23 on open panel and 5 on interdepartmental one.

Mrsec · 30-01-2023 3:20pm

How did you find it? Was it for Galway?

zeldamayo · 30-01-2023 5:41pm

Got my areas of preference form today. Does anyone know the situation with blended working?

Is it available and for how many days? Would every department have blended? And would I have to be there a while before I could request blended working?

I’m sure you did okay, keep the head up. I was very nervous the first time and passed, hope you get it!

I had mine earlier, my camera went after a few minutes so that was frustrating for me. Did anyone else have any technical issues? Went well in parts but maybe should have expanded on some answers, panel were lovely. Hard to know if I passed

katway · 30-01-2023 7:48pm

@Kurokishi I am OOM 852 so will be interesting to see when we’re called, didn’t expect it to be so soon considering they were only late 400s before the new year! Please let me know when you’re called!

Hollandra · 30-01-2023 11:43pm

Does anyone know what number they are at in Dublin INTERDEPARTMENTAL.

ashbpm · 31-01-2023 11:28am

Hi all! Got number 7 on the Offaly panel (batch 3) and have already sent off my qualifications and location preferences. They seem to be on the ball here!

I didnt do too well in the interview, average enough I'd say.

Congratulations I placed on the Offaly panel too just ahead of you! Hoping they’ll have positions soon for us! I wonder are they pulling from batch 2 yet?

It varies very much from department to department. Some are 4 days wfh others are 3/2 days. It really does seem to be department and section specific

Thanks😀 hopefully they put us out of our misery soon. They said around 2 weeks to me

Only slight technical issues, one of the interviewers screen froze a couple of times.

Ya 2-3 weeks. I have to say it was a harder EO interview than before, maybe because there’s no E Tray exercise. I would recommend people reading up on the civil service renewal plan as I was asked about it

Leryan123 · 31-01-2023 6:59pm

Hi, any idea where they are with the Tipperary open panel?

ConorL76 · 31-01-2023 10:25pm

Really important personal question, if anyone knows the answer please tell me.

Does anyone know that if you were to drop down to part time work in the civil service (down to 3 days a week from 5 days a week before), would you lose the work arrangement benefits? Things like Flexi time, wfh, shorter working year scheme etc...

Thanks.

Can I ask what county you interviewed for?

Don't know about Civil Service but in local authority part timers could still avail of the above

I was in the mid 500s for Dublin, I think they’re close to 900 now

Hi CosmicTurnip,

Can I ask what county your getting the position in?

I got department assigned on Monday, just wondering how long it'll take to hear more.

Thanks

LousClues · 01-02-2023 3:19pm

Hi everyone

Sorry if this is the wrong thread. I received an email regarding the EO Internal Competition Tranche 3 Final Interview and they will be calling in March.

I was wondering does the first interview differ much from the first interview.

If I were to pass my interview, how far back do they look at sick leave etc. In May this year I will have 2 years of a clean sheet, (I had been off previous with removal of tumour and treatment)

thank you 😀

01-02-2023 5:26pm

@LousClues

My understanding they go back 4 years however due to nature of your sick leave,a CMO can discount that period of leave for promotion purposes. I hope you are keeping well.

With regard Internal EO, I received an email in Education to say hoping to start in March but depending on availability of interview board.

3 interviews for an EO position is alot and should have been argued by Union as to my knowledge no higher grades have ever had to do 3 interviews. HEO and AP would have had to do a video interview on topics given in advance and then the main interview but that would have been for interdepartmental and not internal.

I got a requirement for presentation withdrawn from this internal EO as very little CO would have experience in presenting presentations.

Best of luck

LousClues · 01-02-2023 5:54pm

Thanks for this!

I had an interview last May and this will be the second and last I hope!

I had requested my notes from the interview last year so I will be going over them along with my application form.

I think too much about interviews so I’m hoping il have a decent amount of time to prepare !
