    Hi all,

    I applied for oral examiner this year and i got a call today to say i have an interview next week. Ive been teaching Leaving Cert Irish for 7 years so i decided it was time that i applied!

    What type of questions do they generally ask in these interviews?

    This is my first time applying for the position so its all new to me! Any advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks :-)

    For me it was just a chat. He asked me about where I was from, where I went to college, and then tried to figure out if we knew people in common, then he asked me about them! At the very end he asked 'an bhfuil aon caitheamh aimsire agat?' which floored me!!

    It's just to check out your grammar, fluency and confidence speaking the language. I know some people who had their interview on the phone.

    Hi there

    Can I ask - what is the payment like for this post?

    Is it any more worthwhile than correcting. I'm going to do it anyway for experience - late application as they are looking for examiners in my subject, they don't have enough. But just wondering if the renumeration will be worth it or not

    thanks

    It depends how far you have to travel and on your own personal tax situation. I think it's around €8 per student, and you get around 80 students.
