RedmondHR

Yea, in work and doing it on my phone. Will do it properly when I get home.

Yeah it looks like they probably forgot to upload it or there is something wrong etc.

Tried this and it didn't work for me, any chance you could send on the link in your own time, thanks.

Feeling a bit sick looking at that interview form! (Thanks for the tip on how to open it btw) I don't have any community/voluntary experience. Also big gaps in my employment history. Is that me gone?

Depp

The 2 questions on the interview form is hardly all they will judge us on is it? Surely there's going to be more info given to us when we get our date and times??

Have you recieved the information about competencies? There are six you will have to demonstrate to the interviewers using examples. I can't remember them at the moment but I think they should be available online or at least in the thread on the interviews from the last competition.

Ah yeah if you haven't gotten them yet it will come with your date and time

Just checked my message from last year, you will get a familiarisation booklet with your invitation to interview, just a couple of pages. The competencies were: Resilience, Serving the Public, Problem Solving, Interpersonal skills, Personal Effectiveness and Commitment to the role.

Nice one thanks

anyone know of anywhere where you can do like a mock interview or whatever?

Montague4LC

Do people know if its very hard to pass this test if youre not a garda reserve?
And lets say your order of merit is 300 does that mean you placed 200th out of the 1700 that did stage 2?
