Garda Recruitment - Stage 2

boomkatalog

I'm devastated, just missed the top 600. Maybe they will call on us but they only need 300.

For everyone in the 601 to 3200 bracket; did all of ye're emails refer to ye as 'stage 2 band 1'?

tod1577

Yes why.

What band are you in Kaffy, seemingly, there are 3 new bands for those who scored 601-3100. Did it say in your msg on pjs?

No it doesn't mention any bands -
Just top 600
Then 601 -3100
And those who didn't qualify

Yes why.

But what number were you? He's asking if they split the group of 601-3100 into bands. There's no point in me answering cos I'm 690.

Just seeing whether or not those who hit higher/lower, but still passed, are in bands like in stage 1...

You did very well OscarWhiskey, still a great chance down the line with the GR experience behind you.

Everyone from 601 to 3100 needs to relax, of course ye will be called. Not a chance will 300 people be got out of 600 after the next stages. They are only breaking it up into manageable amount because it's centres from now on, if ye passed at all ye should be happy!

Hey mate just wanna say your post has cheered me right up. I placed 840 and have basically been thinkin I was done and that was it. But your positive post has given me and probably a lot of others outside of the 600 hope. Thank you .

Got 800 in logical and just under 350 in verbal.

Your scores are almost the reverse of mine. I got 800 in verbal and just under 350 in logical. It's very frustrating to be so close, I'd rather have failed by a good fat margin!!
I'm also disappointed in myself as I feel my bad score in logical is mostly due to poor time management on my part. I dilly dallied far too long on a couple of questions which caused me to run out of time.
It's such a smack in the head to be kicked out at this point.
I did well in stage 1 (placed in the 300s) so this downward slide is rotten.

Stage 3 baby!!!

ruserious

Went from the top 100 after round 1 to just over 2,000 in round 2. Passed so happy I guess and gives me a chance to work on my fitness and explore the world over the next 3 years if I ever will get a call back. Be grand.

Tis a bit of a balls alright! I'd love it if stage 2 fails could just drop back to band 2/3 from stage 1. Wishful thinking!

limk2014

I scored in the high 700's. Does anybody know if I actually have a realistic chance of getting a shout for the next stage?

Its strange the way the scores change through the stages, I ranked pretty good in stage 1.

Congratulations to everyone who made it through. You all obviously deserve it.

Not trying to take away but does anyone else think its mad to cut the numbers from 25,000 to 600 based on online assessments??

I understand that in stage 1 there was the personality thing and questions relating to being part of the gardai. Surely this should be focused on a bit more too?

I'm very hapoy with where I placed. Yes I'm disappointed but it's probably not the right time for me. (Still expecting a baby a week overdue) and I do hope I get another chance. I just wish they'd explain the recruitment process a bit more. Logic behind it etc .

thestar

It's a ruthless way of doing it but its all about saving money for them. They will get 900 Gardai out of the 3100 that's left.

thats an inaccurate statement

the numbers have been cut from 25k to 12k

then the top 5k brought through

3k were 'live' in the process up until today where 600 have been brought through with the other 2.4k awaiting further instruction

it is far from over for everyone

sopretty

It's a tough old job in fairness. It requires a particular set of skills, which only a rare few possess I suppose!

Your having a laugh saying that you think there are still 12k left in the competition, wishful thinking

what happens to them/there chances of being called can only be left to speculation........

Officially ya but you know deep down that they will get 900 Gardai from the 3100 that's left

I'm in the same boat as you, its just the sad reality of the situation at the moment.
