Clerical Officer in the Civil Service 2024 Campaign

do you kind me asking, is this for the 2024 competition, like did you only apply in June and you’re close to being in your new position now?

no one in Monaghan had been interviewed as of last week anyway. last year was October before top 5 or 10 interviewed I think.

Last year they only got to no. 6 on the panel, as far as I know in Monaghan

they interviewed up to 42 on panel in clerical,

Executive officer was oom4 time I checked in Monaghan.

Anyone have any info on the reference process? How many references do they ask for and do they need to actually speak to the reference on the phone for the check? My last workplace has a policy of only giving a letter saying you worked there for a given timeframe and won't do anything else, will they ask for more than that?

@monaghan2022

When I rang PAS they told me they only got to 6 on the CO panel for 2023 for Monaghan. I didn't get called for 2023 cos was in the early 30's.

Apologies 2022 was 48 called just checked my email.

Hi all,

Had my interview this morning (Dublin). I’m New and clueless to all this. Assuming it went well, what’s the next step? If I pass the interview Do I go on a panel and can put in expressions of interest as jobs arise like in HSE or are you just allocated to a department and if it doesn’t suit for any reason that’s it you’re off the panel?

Thanks for reply. Sorry wasn’t clear, I know they’re different panels/organisations. Was just wondering as I’ve only experience with HSE as they (apparently I’ve still to see any due to recent freeze) post jobs that come up snd people on panel can express interest in applying. Was just wondering if it was same way or if successful candidates are just placed in a department when it reached their OOM. Was wondering if there was any choice involved or if you just accept wherever you’re place. Kind of one shot or you’re out kinda scenario 😬

Assuming you pass the interview (best of luck to you🍀) and PAS reach your OOM, you will be put into Clearance. At that point you will be asked to provide references/statement of service and complete garda vetting. Once clearance is complete you will get a message on your publicjobs account telling you which Dept you are being assigned to.

And unfortunately.. yes, if you don't accept you are off the panel. I think there might be some rule around being able to decline and stay on the panel if the Dept you're assigned to is over a certain distance from your home, but I'm not 100% sure on the details of that, or if it is even still the case that you can do that.

any update on Clare panel please

Does anyone know much about the NSSO? I expressed interest. The location would actually suit me just wondering if anyone had any experience or information on working there.

I've expressed interest on NSSO too, sent my docs to publicjobs yesterday, hopefully will be offered a position soon… the location suits me as well.
