Clerical Officer in the Civil Service 2024 Campaign

….

Thanks!

I had my interview a few weeks ago. Got the message that I had passed successfully about 2 weeks ago but haven’t heard anything else since. I wonder how long the process will take from the interview to your first day in the office

how was the interview @boxman24

through zoom? I should download that rwally. What do you do just connect through a link they send?

They call people in batches for interview for positions, the number in the batch will vary depending on the number of CO positions that are available at the time.

Batches could be 10/20 people. It varies.

You will get a batch number later down the process, so say your OOM 55, and calling in batches of 20, you'll be batch 3. This may be listed on your portal down the line, as was before for these competitions.

You have to also remember, not everyone is going to go to interview or even pass interview. So it's not like 54 people ahead of you need to get placed if your 55 OOM. People will turn down the position also once offered.

After interview you'll get a new OOM as that's the batch they will be placing on, so you could be OOM 1 then batch 3.

I hope that makes sense, that's how stuff worked in previous panels anyway. And surely similar here.

There is 50 ahead of you, but all them won't take up a position. You'd be surprised how many would just ignore follow up messages or not take up positions. Also the salary when people notice what it is, can be a turn off if not already known the exact breakdown. Best of luck!

Any movement in Offaly?

Where do you find an email to email them? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks for this SS. If you hear anything else at all on Meath I'd appreciate you passing it on. I'm completely new to all this - I'm early 100s on the Meath OOM so assuming I shouldn't really hold out hope for much.
