Hi, all those who applied to Bord Gáis graduate programme 2012 to 2014 and have completed the online test, have you been invited for interview? I am still waiting for the invitation.

I completed the online tests about 2 weeks ago, but have heard no more since.
Closing date was the 10th of june I think, and plus everyone gets 4 days to complete the tests, so realistically the last applications + tests only finished up on the 14th, i'd give it another while before I start getting worried about interviews

The closing date was the 11th of June. Thanks for your reply. I started this thread so that we the applicants can communicate and follow the process. Do you know the month the programme will commence?

I also did the online tests and haven't heard anything. I was beginning to loose hope tbh...

I think it starts in September so there is still quite a bit of time.

topgraduate · 21-06-2012 5:11pm

my status still says "completed" and the total applications are 1008. What about you guys?

cozzie55 · 21-06-2012 5:55pm

Did anyone get an email after they finished the online tests? ie something saying something like thanks for completing the tests. I got a bit worried as I received nothing to confirm I have the tests finished.

Topgraduate where did you see this status thing?

What type of grads are ye guys? Don't really know what the job will entail fully but seen as they are putting people into a 4 different departments during the two years I'm sure grads will be placed in departments outside there expertise.. I'm an engineer by the way

cozzie55 · 21-06-2012 6:12pm

Wait now, seen as you posted this in the engineering forum you'll only get engineers commenting, don't mind the earlier question about what grads ye are so. I thought it was in the work and jobs forum

chris85 · 21-06-2012 9:56pm

Also done online tests a few weeks ago so I hope to here something soon. I hope anyways.

gill89 · 04-07-2012 7:43pm

Fair play to you on getting the interview. What time of the day did you get the email at? I would assume everyone they were bringing for interview was called today

Anyone else on here get one?

topgraduate · 04-07-2012 9:10pm

cozzie55, i haven't received any email yet.
Gill89, when is the date or month if u do not want to specify the exact date of interview? Is it a telephony interview or face-to-face interview?

kevohmsford · 06-07-2012 12:01pm

Oh well I was not successful anyway.
Over 900 people applied for 8 positions.

i'm in the same boat with another rejection, can't believe the had over 900 people for 8 positions

chris85 · 06-07-2012 12:40pm

Not successful either

rejkin · 06-07-2012 12:42pm

Wasn't successful either. It was probably the aptitude test. I wasn't really prepared, first one I ever did. I'll have to go over a few test ones the next time I have one coming up.

Harps · 06-07-2012 1:28pm

Same story here, first aptitude test I'd done as well so didn't really know what to expect, made a bit of a mess of it towards the end trying to get as many as possible answered

topgraduate · 06-07-2012 1:52pm

not successful.

yourpics · 06-07-2012 6:50pm

I was also rejected, I'll be changing my electric supply to ESB

jimmi10 · 10-07-2012 11:13pm

Not successful. I'd say the aptitude tests was where I fell down.

jkinsel01 · 25-07-2012 9:23am

got an interview. feeling nervous. i didnt think i did that well on the aptitude either but i have some experience so maybe it wasnt just down to the aptitude test.

seanyshuffler · 06-08-2014 4:14pm

I'm at the very final stage of interview for this programme and was wondering has anyone from previous years gotten to this stage and if so what did you have to do? I've to give a 15 min presentation on my own personal brand. I've never heard of anything like that before.

Bafucin · 08-08-2014 7:24am

Keeping an eye on this for the future. I would be interested to know how rigorous you felt the tests were. And how you get on etc.

Sounds like a thesis defense https://xkcd.com/1403/

Stages
1. Online assessment ( numerical etc.)
2. Video interview
3. Face to face interview
4. Final interview/presentation

I haven't found anything too daunting, obviously barring the upcoming presentation. It's your normal grad programme interview stages. I'm not sure how many applied this year but I've previous experience in the area so I imagine that's how I've gotten so far.
