    Did they look for references from employer after that and how long did they give you for that?

    They emailed the morning after my vetting went through and asked for the statement of employment. I wasn’t given a timeframe, was asked only to submit as soon as possible. I emailed them to let them know that I had requested it and was waiting on my employer and seemed happy with that.

    I can't seem to get an email through to clearance email. I keep getting failure to send. I've sent email to info address. Has anyone else had a problem with this?

    I do unfortunately. It is a horrible place to work. They are short staffed and have no training. I'm trying to get out as soon as I can.

    Look at the competencies and have examples using the STAR method. The interviewer I had was really nice. The biggest thing is to not just say what you did but how you did it, eg if the question is on teamwork don’t just talk about what your team did but what you did to help your team and how you all achieved the outcome you wanted.

    Prepare well, look at the competencies and have an example for every one of them. I used the star method also which was highly recommended. Good luck :)

    I know some people who hate it, and some who love it. Don't let anyone else's experience determine or influence yours, you'll find your own way. Yes, they are short staffed, and they've been short staffed for as long as I can remember.

    Does anyone know how the references work - do the HSE contact your referees themselves or do they send you out forms and is the onus on you to do that? I’ve worked in private sector before and employer has always contacted my referees themselves but wondering if public might be different.

    The STAR method is a structured response to behavioral-based interview questions by discussing the

    Situation

    Task

    Action and

    Result of the situation.

    As far as I know, they won't contact anyone without your approval and permission. You may have to provide statements of employment, especially for jobs within the past year. Organising this now would be helpful imo.

    Hi there,

    I have been given position in Revenue in Galway. Info is a bit drip drip. I would email the clearance email to ask for update. They got back pretty quickly to me. Did you get confirmation that Guarda vetting has been completed? Takes approx 7 to 9 working days. I heard about placement 2 days after PAS got my vetting confirmation

    Thanks! My old boss actually got in contact with me today and said they'd received a reference request off the HSE and sent the form back to them. I had that referee listed on my original application form, so they must be going off that.

    For those who have done garda vetting, what was the wait time for you between posting the initial form and getting an email from Garda Vetting? I posted mine yesterday to the specified HR department so they should have it today. Hoping I get an email soon to complete vetting.

    Hi yes all Garda vetting etc done, they emailed me on Tuesday to see if I would be interested in normal revenue ( not dealing with the public) instead of group revenue so I said yes. I have a disability, so they then told me they would be back to me in a few weeks because there are 17 in front of me.. so I’m not sure what is going to happen now 🙄 it’s a very drawn out process. Original email said mid oct start date so I’m disappointed
