Garda Recruitment - Applying to join An Garda Siochana

The Oggmonster

Right, just a couple of points. The new registration has nothing to do with any Garda campaigns. Every member has to re-register, whether they applied for the Guards or not. Sorry, but this doesn't mean a campaign is getting any closer. It's to do with a new recruitment system. Although I do believe there will be a competition next year. So make sure you put your alerts back on so you will get an email when it does happen.

They can't send out all the emails at the same time or they will show up as spammers on the IP's systems. As far as I know, you don't have to wait for the email. Just go onto the website and re-register.

It doesn't matter if you register now or wait for a few months. It won't mean you will be called any sooner as you are just registering on the site. You are not applying for anything yet.

did ye get an email from public jobs to re-register, or did ye just do it anyway??? haven't a clue if iv missed out on somethin!!

I just went on an re-registered without any notification. You haven't missed out on a thing . Don't worry, this place will be hopping with older members returning and new members signing up every few hours with various reasons in mind if their was even an inkling of a drive.

Thanks for that Kerry...just wasn't sure if we needed an email from them..i thought if we regestered again now, we might be registering onto their old system!! :P Confusion!

And, Leddpipe, I just tried to register there, and i had problems with that link too...I just keep getting a blank page, and then they say they can't retrieve the page...I'm just going to try it again later!!

Finally got my re-registration through. Been trying since last night (not all night of course) but I kept just getting a blank screen. Persistance has paid off though and I just got through.

I'd say everyone on the Garda queue is trying to re-register together which is why there are problems. If anyone is having the same issues I was, just keep trying, you'll get through eventually.

Quick question, does anyone know, when re-registering on public jobs, and if you click the option to be alerted by SMS, do you still recieve an email, I remember a few campaigns ago a few people failed to recieve an SMS alert:eek:....

I know some of ye managed to re-register with Public jobs ages ago, but i only managed to do it there now! so, if any of ye are still getting a blank page when ye click into "Become a Member" or "Registration", i think it works better if you try it this way...instead of going directly into the public jobs website, just google "Public jobs Register" and the link seems to come up straight away. I don't know if that was just a fluke, beacuse I was trying to register for the lst few days, but its worth a try anyway..;)

Good to see that theres plenty of interest in the Job, and optimisim in considering theres a freeze on recruitment at the moment. I'm sure if you put the effort in from the very start and your genuinely interested in the Job and the work entailed you will do well. If your just applying for the job security and the respect you might get when your a gard, you may not want to put all your eggs into the one basket.

If you are genuine, and want to apply because it's something you think you will enjoy (good and bad) you will get great job satisfaction.

Ps. it's not a bad idea to look into the garda reserve, in the meantime until the new recruitment drive starts.

(...DEEP BREATHS...:mad:)

ok, has anyone else registered, gotton the confirmation email, and then cant log in?

is it the case that you need the prompt email from publicjobs before re-registering?

lossing my mind here!

You don't need to get the e-mail from publicjobs.ie prior to re-registering. It's just down to the sheer numbers trying to re-register then login and setup the alerts etc. as the reason why you can't log in.

I've re-registered, logged in and setup the alerts and have since tried to login and had it time out. I would assume it's going to be like that for a while to come as there was such a huge number of people already registered that have to go through this process. Remember, it's not just us Gardai wannabes that need to re-register but everyone that's looking for a public service job.

Anyway, I hope it all gets sorted soon and you get logged asap.

Did you honestly receive this or are you just informing people of their presence?

I know who you are referring to and they would only send out info & forms etc if they heard of movement of an upcoming drive.

Fatony

No honestly recieved forms, its for Enrolment for Aptitiude preparation Course. I read over them there, i think this is just forms in which i can apply for help for the real enrolement.. Not right sure, just wondering has anyone else recieved anything?

adrianjc20

Hey Folks,

I know these guys too, they run courses at the airport hotel. They could be just trying to drum up business. Look at all the people looking to join up. How did they get your name ?

spudz21

Think they are just looking for business off you

Fatony

I honestly dont know how they got my details at all, ive only signed up to the Publicsjobs website, so its a mystery!
