NEW 2022 Assistant Principal Competition - Open and Interdepartmental

I got an email today as well, I scored 98 after the stage II shortlisting.

The stage III booklet says you'll be sent the brief for the analysis exercise 7 days prior to your interview.

I passed the shortlisting but didn't get an email about interview yet. Did it say from what score they are interviewing now? I guess batch 1 has been split into three.

Yes, passing score for each of 4 competencies was 21, making the minimum passing score 84

Did they say they were calling the rest of the batch for interview or for example, those who scored over 95 in the shortlisting? I was under that and hoping I haven't been missed.

Does anyone know by when you need to submit your strategic analysis exercise and slides to the panel? I’m trying to work out how much time I’ll have to do it if they are sending it out seven days in advance of the interview date because I’ll be away for four of those days 😬

Best of luck to you all that are going through to next stage.

I have done a power point presentation for an AP comp before Im not sure if it is similar to this "strategic analysis exercise " however my advice is to google such presentations. if I recall they should be 3 mins per slide... don't over dwell on the actual slides itself it will consume your life ... time yourself and practice how you want to present it. Be prepared for interview questions that draw into it etc. For interview ..Prepare your STAR... Situation Task Action Result for all competencies for your interviews ..these can overlap and by the way you do not have to have different examples for each just make them stronger depending on the competencies. For those that are not familiar with this ..... Explain the Situation what was the actual situation and how you fitted into it or what you had to do to resolve the situation. What was the Task that you had to do. What Action did you take to deal with the task. What was the outcome/Result how was this measured for you ??? Did you get positive feedback from managers etc..did you achieve the results ?

I hope this will be useful information for you all that head into the next round.

Hi guys,

Have any of the successful candidates from the first batch been contacted by PAS so far? 

Clearance seems to be taking a while...

Thank you !

Hi All, would have one know where I can find some examples of the strategic exercise? I having no luck on Google! Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, I'm not familiar with the process. Does anyone know when we might be offered posts after batch 1 results came out a few weeks ago? Trying to gauge when to give notice. Thanks

Has anyone in batch 1 Dublin got a clearance email yet?

I'm in the top 5 and not been contacted yet.

Thanks for the update, hoping to hear something this week myself - 10 on interD and 24 open for Dublin.

Thanks for this, which was the competency that you were referring that you were asked specific questions on?

I emailed PAS on the 11th of April and so far had called 12 from the open panel and 5 from the interdepartmental panel. No clue how many if any have been called since but on the 11th there were 4 ahead of me on the interD and I haven’t been called yet. It does feel quite slow this time round, I thought they might have called in small batches rather than individually.
