Dublin Fire service recruitment? Anyone know??

When I first submitted my application form, it said "further info submitted" but when I finally got the schedule for interview (it was the only time I rechecked the career site) it then says "in process". So I reckon, you'd have it updated to "in process" once they've reviewed your application form and have you scheduled for an interview. But this is only my guess.

Are answers for the competencies sent in prior to the interview? Will the board have a copy of answers infront of them?

Has everyone heard back re interview yet?

Hi guys, I know soke others have made comments RE presentation on the day of your interview. Just for any of the guys already in DFB or who have done interviews in previous years. Is it the norm to wear a suit or is a shirt and pants acceptable would ye think? Surely if you have good qualifications and do a good interview what you wear can only affect your score a small bit. Thanks for the help

You don't HAVE to wear a suit but remember your applying for a job in a uniformed service that prides itself in how well presented their staff always look dating back to the 1860's.

I'll let you decide...

Is there anyone able to advise of a hotel/ accommodation near the civic offices with parking? Would be greatly appreciated 👍

I don’t know . Have you had to fill out the answers to competencies and send them in ? If so , then they’ll have read them and have them in front of them .

if this is the case they’ll question you on said competencies , further

Did you make them aware that you're scheduled for an interview? As far as I know, public visits are suspended but maybe if they know that you're preparing for the interview they might accommodate you.

Is anyone still waiting to hear back regarding interview ?

Surely it should be tomorrow lastest if interviews are starting Wednesday?

I reckon there will be alot of people in the same boat Iceomatrix. I know it's an important thing to do to show you're interested in the role but I'm thinking that they obviously know that "officially" visits are off the agenda at the moment so it wouldn't be fair to ask if you did a station visit in the interview. The ace card is that we're all hoping to join a disciplined uniformed organisation so showing up to a station after being told no wouldnt look great, at least that's what I would be thinking if I was interviewing someone. Anyway, best of luck with your interview! Let us know if it was an issue for you, I'll report back after mine too!

Here's hoping.........🤞🏼

For anyone who didn’t get through aptitudes, dfb are advertising for emergency services call takers on the 10th February. The last time this was advertised externally was 2015/16.

you can progress to firefighter position after 4 years . It’s a great way to get to know the job , get used to shift pattern and most importantly you’ll start your pay scale and pension . Pay is less than you get for firefighter

Was always a 3 year contract . Then some went operational after 2 years but most were in 4th year by the time they were training as firefighters.

It'll be early March before we hear anything back. As far as I understand, your aptitude scores, CV, qualifications, experience (voluntary etc) and interview are all combined to give a score (open to correction on that) and the top ranking candidates are brought forward to the next stage.
