I know of a recently retired sergeant who does competency based interview prep. Includes filling out the forms with you etc. If you pm me i'll find out if she can accommodate people. A friend of mine did it before the last campaign and he's now stationed in Kildare. I'm booked in with her for Monday. Price is lower than anywhere else I've seen and she says it will take about 2 hours in total.

Edit: She's in South Dublin and you have to travel to her.

Hi,

Congrats to those who passed today.
I've got a question, at what time of day did you receive your message on the publicjobs website? I'm having an issue here where I got a text and an email notifying me that I have a message but there's no new messagel in my public jobs inbox??? Anyone else experiencing this??

What date did you do your stage 2? I sat mine on April 1st but haven't heard anything back.

Should we put our Leaving cert as a qualification yous think ?

I would think so, anything you got a certificate for I think, thats what I'm putting in anyway ☺

RedmondHR

Yea, I dunno. The layout does not really suit it for the leaving cert:/
Anyone else having difficulties for section B? Cant seem to enter anything at all!

Lads can somebody send me a link to the application form? I'm on holidays and back on Friday and I can't open the form in the internet cafe here.

I don't have admin priviledges on a public computer so I can't open it!

This computer doesn't have the latest version of adobe so it won't open the PDF.

Check yer inboxes

RedmondHR

Got mine there, now the fun part :P

Anyone got their result that sat the test on April 1st?

Lads, a word of warning to anyone filling out the interview pdf form. Save and keep saving it! Adobe just crashed on me and I lost the lot! We can still send it in tomorrow, right?

Elliot192

Ok - probably stating the obvious - but it wasn't to me in my sleep deprived state - maybe type out what you want to say in a word doc or something then cut and paste into the pdf form (as well as saving all the time). Had fierce trouble with it all last night. The form kept closing down on me. Sometimes it kept the changes I made and sometimes the )(*&^@£;&$* did not. Lesson most definitely learned. Make your lives easier. Now I need to sleep!

Everyone get the form in yesterday? I got my date too.

df14

Anyone know if you need girlfriends family on form b? I know it says partner but is that engaged or what?

RedmondHR

df14, I dont think we need to put our girlfriends family on it. I wont be, less effort and think it only asking for legal technicalities .If for some reasons turns out I need to put it on it, will I will just say I am single.

RedmondHR

What do you do if you don't have the details of some of your uncles/aunts? eg; date of birth, address...

I could easily just ring up one of my uncles but I don't have a relationship with him and it would be really awkward having to talk for the first time in years just to fill out a form! Also I don't want any of my family to find out yet that I have applied for AGS.

RedmondHR

Will we need to know the rank and structure of the Gardaí as well? I know it says nothing, but I also know some people were asked about it years ago?

dcrossbo

Did you guys filling out these forms get your interview dates? Or does that come later?

Think 229 people are filling out the form. Some have interview dates, maybe the rest are waiting for mid/late May dates? Pure speculation though.

RedmondHR

Best of luck to those doing it today and next few weeks!

df14

Anyone do them today?

Hi, just a quick question.

Has anyone who did the stage 2 exam later in the group (ie. Stage 1 rank 900+) gotten anything yet for stage 3?

my issue is that we were told in the centre that all the results would all go out at the same time.

when you add the following line from the test familiarisation material;

"Candidates will be called to Stage 3 on the basis of their Stage 2 order of merit placing. "

Doesn't that seem like everyone should have gotten their results at the same time and any people who improved significantly between the stage 1 and supervised tests should get to stage 3 faster than people ranked lower than them, whether or not the lower ranked people did their stage 2 exams a week or two before them.

It looks more like people who did their exams earlier are getting through to stage 3 while people who did their exams later are stuck waiting to be processed, which goes against what they wrote in the familiarisation document and the entire idea of a ranked based competition.

Anyone know if it's possible to reschedule an interview due to being out of the country?

RedmondHR

Best of asking public jobs, but if you do get it rescheduled most likely being pushed to a later date I would say.
