    thanks!! Currently an EO on mobility list and I know it's too late but just wondered if I should have applied for Interdepartmental as well as open this time around...

    presume if you are in the top 20 more or less anywhere you’ll be interviewed? Wonder how many people would be interviewed per position, presume there is a standard number they have to do?

    Got 210s open stream and 70s interdepartmental for Sligo.

    Based on the 10-19 figure previously listed I don't think it's likely I'll get an interview, but hey, at least it will build my confidence for future competitions. Didn't think I'd have any chance.

    Surprisingly I did well on numerical, verbal and situational, was sure I'd fail one, as that's usually the case for me.

    Hi, congrats to all! Good to finally have results. I got an alright score for Dublin, but am currently on Maternity Leave until Feb. 2025. Would yous inform PAS of this now or at/after interview stage in case appointments are taking place before Feb.? Thanks & good luck to everyone going forward. 👍

    Eeek, I just checked the thread for last year's panel and seemingly the people with a similar OOM to mine got called for interview the same day the results came out and were placed within the month!!!

    Obviously there is no guarantee that it will move that quickly this time but still that is anxiety enducing for me 😫

    For anyone else who is interested, it seems they had interviewed up to around OOM 400 within the first 2 months approx

    Hi, I would wait until you get called for interview or even until appointment stage. In my experience they were happy and I think legally obliged to hold the position until return from statutory period of leave

    I would say so as some people might not pass the interview or turn offers down if it isn’t suited to them.

    I have OOM in 250s in Westmeath, which I think is a very low one (from my last year's score for CO). To whom should I email to know last year's max OOM where people were called for interview?I don't want to keep hoping for nothing :(

    Well done to all that passed and hard luck to those that didn’t. Don’t let it get you down or discouraged , these tests are absurd, actually gobsmacked I passed the numerical, really don’t know how and a pretty decent score. Not sure with my OOM if I’ll get interview as panel only for a year but I’ve gained experience if nothing else and not to be afraid of trying. Worst thing was the long wait.

    I'm about 1800 in Open Stream, and 450 in interdepartmental (Dublin). A previous poster stated that they recruit usually 2:1:1 (open stream: interdepartmental:mobility). So that means I should have more chance with interdepartmental OOM since that would be equivalent to 900, or I'm wrong about this?

    Cannot believe I passed , I was convinced I failed the numerical. I barely scraped by with it , TG it dosent go towards the OOM score. Im in the high 200,s for Cork. Not too sure if they will call that far but here’s hoping 🤞, Delighted I passed.

    I'd say that they would like an EO to be good with figures (numerical reasoning) but generally place more value on use of words (verbal reasoning) and managing certain situations . You need good numerical reasoning in Revenue, some parts of DSP but overall the other skills are more valued generally for EOs in the CS. I think that might be the logic.

    I don’t think you’re properly understanding how OOM works… you and 900 people could have got between 70 and 75% and you’d still be in the 1000 in Dublin

    Yes, you could have got a total score 900 and someone with 920 could be many OOms above you. I'd say over 50 per cent of people got scores that weren't much different but their OOMs are a wide range especially in that 70 -75 per cent score.

    1 year panel.

    And the last 2022 Nationwide panel extended until last Friday 27th Sep, so the number placed "should" be higher than what's listed. I know some counties where EO's were hired in July, August and September this year which wouldn't be in them numbers.

    Can only guess why not. I have the same question on the written test, why include it in a timed test if it's not going to be used or even marked. I can't recall reading that they would only count results of the SJT and Verbal reasoning in the OOM. Can anyone recall that being stated?

    Passed very well - near 135 oom and between 25/30 interdept….now the wait is on

    Was there any reason why it was changed to a 1 year from a 2 year campaign

    Scraped a pass on the SJT yet again. When I finally figure out whatever it is they're looking for on that test, it's over for everyone else 😄 Any year now…

    Did really well in numerical and verbal. But a measly 200 in situational sends me to the showers early. Several competitions done and I always flunk that one. Might try dropping acid for the next one.

    It's been a pleasure....

    Just out of interest, does anyone know how many of the maths questions you need to answer correctly to pass? There was a practice test on PublicJobs and I think it was only about 6?

    I got 61 for OOM Kilkenny and 18 for Interdepartmental so I'm not sure about getting called/placed as Kilkenny really doesn't have a great demand on in terms of EO. I'm CO in Kilkenny for last 5 years and the panels are as slow as a wet week to move. Hope this helps anybody looking for information regarding Kilkenny
