A Credit Union, a good one.

You'll get your tools and PPE, you'll get an allowance if you have to work more than 50KM from your base. You'll have access to a credit union which is great and medical insurance which isn't so great.

Oh and make a will.

Why u say medical not great?

It's just pretty expensive for what you get, it's more designed for permanent staff.

I'm not joking about the will.

Okay

After first 6 week's is it then 20 weeks with FAS? and what fas centre ? Or what?

bassey

After the first 6 weeks you'll be working in section which depends on where you get based. You do 3 month rotations in each section, these days you'll probably be called to phase 2 in FAS within your first year. Most likely around next spring but could be after Christmas. You can be sent to any FAS centre

Does leaving cert results be taken into consideration? or will they take u based on interview n medical etc?

bassey

Doubt it, I got told I got the job the morning I was going to get me results. Think it goes more on the interview and past work experience.

If you haven't been called for a medical at this stage I'm sorry to say there is a good chance you didn't get it.

Apply again next year and best of luck.
