Hi EngIreland,

Any more graduate placements/jobs in the pipeline? I know a few people who would be interested to know.

Thanks!

EngIreland

Hey Donal,

Nothing to report at present.

Once I get word if there is anything, I will post up here and on our website.

Please keep an eye on the job section of our website also as you may spot something that you feel is suitable.

Apologies I dont have anything more concrete (or positive) to post.

Has anybody who had an interview heard back about this? I know they mentioned to me that they hoped to let us know before christmas

freddzeppelin

They said the same to me. Haven't heard anything back yet. Have you got in contact with them since Tuesday?

Gileadi

Nope, was talking to a girl I know who had a later interview and she was told a decision would be made in the new year

cotzie32

Hi, I am also waiting for a response to an interview. Has anybody received any reply from Iarnrod Eireann yet? Does anybody know if we will be contacted by email, post?

ellesse1

Has anyone heard anything about this job?

Gileadi

I got a phonecall on Fri evening asking me to come for a medical for it

ellesse1

When is your medical?? I was told wed the 16th of Jan but Monday is the 16th so now I think it may be February the 16th which is a Wednesday... Did they tell you that you have the job if you pass the medical??

Gileadi

I was skiing at the time I got the call so couldn't hear the woman all that well but I'm sure she said that once I passed the medical the job was mine (I cant imagine why they would call us for a medical unless they wanted to offer us the job). Mine is on Thursday morning at 9.

Ellesse, if you want the number of the woman who rang me give me a PM

ellesse1

That will do because I was working at the time she rang and I could not hear her too well either. But I just wanted to make sure that the medical was Wednesday the 19th.

cotzie32

I take it since I have not received any word yet I was unsuccessful, congrats to those who got the jobs

Gileadi

Ellesse, what did the medical consist of?

ellesse1

There is not much to it really. I was asked a few questions by the nurse about my past medical history and current lifestyle, you also need to give a urine sample. Then the doctor tested my hearing, eyesight and blood pressure. I was done in less than half an hour with most of that time being spent waiting for the doctor. I was told I passed then at the very end and the doctor said Irish Rail should have my results by tomorrow or Friday so I should hear back from them next week.

colonelsnake

Has anyone who has had a medical received a reply yet?

ellesse1

No word yet.

Gileadi

Ya no word yet...

Gileadi

I wish they would contact us, somehow!

ellesse1

or even if we knew when to expect a response would be nice.

Gileadi

Update: They got back to us (myself and ellesse1) with start dates incase anybody is holding out hope, apologies

colonelsnake

Ya me too, got a call earlier today. Starting Monday next for induction week

fattyplumps

Good luck Ellesse1 and others in your careers.

brucewedders

First of all, congratulations to you both. May I ask where you will be based in your new positions? I went for the interview but haven't heard anything from them since.

scrapmetal

Does anyone know if all the positions have been filled?
I know some people have been called and have started work.....
At this stage I would like to know either way...

brucewedders

No idea. Haven't heard a word from them. Even if it was just to let me know I was unsuccessful they could pick up the phone and let me know.

NoseyMike2010

What type of positions were available and what type of questions were you guys asked for your interview?

NoseyMike2010

What type of roles are you guys in??

cotzie32

Lads,

I have been informed that all the positions have been filled so if you have not received word yet you have been unsuccessful.
I myself did not get a job but hopefully I will get one either in Ireland or the UK and wont have to head down under.....
Can I ask what sites are people looking for jobs on and has anyone got another job while they were waiting for this?

Cheers,

NoseyMike2010

Anyone try the Rail industry in the UK?
