    Hi Roadhouse blues
    Just wondering were you given a percentage when your test was finished cheers , Reddington

    Aye I got 96%. I think it said I had 6 mistakes. This is my first time to apply for something like this though, so I don't know if that's good enough.

    Well it didn't seem too long. When you start you are concentrating so its not too bad. My eyes were jumping between the text at the top to below at what I was typing:-):-):-). So I spotted a couple of mistakes and fixed them within the time:-). I didn't finish the passage though so I don't know how long it actually is. Did ye get the wrong email too by the way?:-)

    Yes, I got two e.mails. It's mad how you start to panic when you're under the clock! I was trying to look back over the mails to see what the salary is like. I know I saw something but can't seem to find it. Can anyone remember what the salary is?

    I think it said for new entrants its a little over 20,800. But then there would be shift allowance on top of that etc.

    No worries. Best of luck with it. I was a bit nervous beforehand, but it was actually grand. The practice one will give you a good idea and will loosen up the old fingers:)

    Funny you should say that I was thinking the exact same , I even went back over the last few pages and there is very little activity in relation to this competition

    Quiet is a good thing, all the rumors that this forum generates doesn't do any good for prospective candidates.

    Maybe the money is putting people off. But you're right, it's very quiet.

    I suppose there must be alright. I applied for the clerical officer jobs last year, but I'm so far down the list I didn't even get to the supervised testing. There was thousands in for that.

    Money puts a lot of people of if you look at the last student paramedic panel was massive interest at the time loads applied etc (wasn't many jobs going at the time) now it seems a good few who made the panel are not taking up positions as they have got better jobs etc

    Better for me they'll get to me quicker :) I'd be taking a pay drop when I get in but I think it's worth it in the long run for me but a lot don't I'm sure it's the same for this

    Shift allowance and double time on Sundays would bump pay up a bit!! But also it is a job that is different every day...not like a standard desk job!
