    sorry, i'm new to this too, PM means "private message"
    i think you click on private messages at the top right hand corner, where it says "welcome, griffindore"
    if i'm wrong then i'm sure someone will say so...

    Your pack includes the following; a 2 page letter with your date, time etc on it and a date by which you MUST confirm your acceptance of the interview. That must be done by 5pm on 3rd Dec. So I would not leave it too long before calling to confirm that you have an interview date, otherwise the date allocated to you will be cancelled. There is the interview preparation pack - this is what has the error with the uneven numbered pages missing. Finally, there is a garda vetting form that needs to be filled in and brought with you to the interview.

    Can a person apply for a paramedic job with the HSE with their GCSE. My friend got told she could apply with them and she did and when she did, she got a letter back to say they couldn't except it.
    She is qualified as EMT and has the CD1 and D1 Licence and did an interview prep course so what is the story because i cant understand why 1st they say yes and then they say no.

    Hi Ann Nolan
    Did the letter you received say you were refused because the GCSE was not recognised? Did you have enough pass level in the GCSE an include maths and a science subject? Did you get the application in on time back in Sept/Oct? :confused:
    If you have the meet the relevant qualification, then perhaps try calling the recruitment section in Manorhamilton and speaking to one of the staff there. They should be able to shed all the light you need on this. I doubt that there is anything that can be done at this late stage in the recruitment drive as it is now at interview stage. It would have been better to ask these questions as soon as you got the letter after your initial application, at least then, if there was an error in recognising the qualification of GCSE's then you could have gone on to sit the apitiude tests. Not sure if I'm being of any help but best of luck.

    Does anyone know how long the interviews are going to go on for and when they anticipate getting the results to us? I assume they would go on for about 2-3 weeks if 200 people are interviewed for 30-40 mins each and there is one panel doing the interviews. Does anyone have an interview date for after x-mas? I take it that we will probably not hear until near the end of January at the earliest :confused:
    I must say the forum is very quiet this week.......are all the heads down preparing for the interview or is everyone tucked up and stranded because of the snow with nothing to report to us all??! :rolleyes:

    As Far as I am aware it is 30 -40 minutes but there is more than one interview panel, the interviews are running for one week and the results are out early January.

    Thanks for that Pebbles. I was anticipating an agonising wait for a few weeks. Best of luck to everyone in the interviews.

    I would have imagined that GCSEs do not meet the Leaving Certificate equivalent? I would have thought that GCE A-level or GCE-AS would be required in at least some subjects, as the nearest Irish equivalent to the GCSE award is the Junior Certificate.

    You should contact the Admissions Office in UCD to check the equivalency of GCSEs to the Irish LC. At the end of the day it is on an individual case-by-case basis that equivalency of qualifications is based, so whilst she may have been entitled to apply, they may not have been accepted as an equivalent of the LC.

    Well I'm out of the interview and can finally breathe. There are several interviews happening at the same time and they will all be finished this week. The interview panel were very nice and made me feel at ease. The 30 minutes fly by but you are talking for the full time. In terms of advice, know your scenarios well and be yourself.
    We will get a letter NEXT WEEK with our order of merit on it and then a letter of offer in January if successful. The medical checks and reference checks will be carried out in Jan & Feb and a course starting in March.
    At least we do not have to wait until after x-mas before knowing the order of merit. It was mildly comforting to see others as nervous as I was today. Good luck for the rest of the week. Please let us all know how you're getting on.

    Apparantly, the current panel is virtually exhausted so if you get in the top 15-20 in the order of merit, I'd say there's a good chance that you'd get an offer of a place for the March round of 24 trainees. Then if the budget and requirements are there, the next round would be around Sept '11 where another 24 will be selected.

    Guys, just note, thats a provisional order of merit, there's always appeals going on and if they're upheld then they'll have an interview too and will be placed in order of their merit.
    Good luck to all...

    Had my interview yesterday morning. The interviewers really do their best to put you at ease and their questions are direct and to the point. I hope it went well but its hard to know. Hopefully we'll know next week. All the best to everyone. Its hard now not havng anything to work towards as its just a waiting game now. Suppose better get ready for Christmas:rolleyes:
