Hello, I have got email saying I will be contacted for interview in 1st quarter of 2017.
When do I get Form? Do I get it with my interview date?
I think I might have done a bad interview form when applying to Garda, is there anyway to rectify this?

Whats the story if you've a document short for the requirements? I've pretty much everything sorted but I'm still waiting on my LC cert to land and the Examinations office isn't replying to emails or picking up the phone! Ring PAS and explain the situation?

just a quick question for everyone who has an interview coming up. Do we have to submit an interview form a number of days before our interview as I found a sheet that states that for the garda interview for the early round competition for 2016

I am getting an interview as a result of the September 2016 campaign and All I have received so far is the form b to bring with me on the day of the interview and no mention of the interview form that was used in the previous campaign

can anyone clear this up for me

Thanks

My daughter had her interview from September 2016 campaign too. The only form she had to fill was form B and she had to print and bring it with her to the interview. I've never heard of another form prior to interview

The interview is based on the form you submitted when you applied! As well as the five competencies!

Hello

I have my interview weds, was anyone who has done it asked any questions they were surprised by?

Also regarding the vetting, if a family member was in prison in the early 90s would it affect you? Anyone in a similar situation

I had my interview a few months back and I wasn't asked anything out of the ordinary,
Have a look over the following and you will be well set:

your application form
your examples for your competencies
Info about the Garda training programme modules phases etc
They ll prob ask about how would you react in a violent situation e.g. Two lads scrapping on the street

Keep a cool head drink the water pause before you reply, don't be afraid to smile

Good luck!!

If it follwos previous interview result trends it's usually 3 weeks from the start of the interview cycle.
Thus results should be available the week commencing the 6th of Febuary.

Hi, I've just completed my interview last week, was enquiring how do they figure out OOM, at the end of the two weeks of interviews does the four boards come together and place everyone who passed in OOM or how does the results work Thanks

Hi I was just wondering, I have a previous conviction for public order about 5 years ago was a moment of madness and drink related, but I think this wont effect my application if I put it down on my Form B, was just wondering does anybody know if it will as it isnt a serious conviction. Any help would be appreciated thanks. Just waiting on my interview had interview with the prison service and flew that interview and the gaurds one is supposed to be the same interview

I genuinely believe that people can change, but traditionally the best indicator of future behaviour is past behaviour and this may be the way an organisation such as AGS treats this issue as they must be held to a very high standard in the public eye. The comissionar can easily dismiss your application without giving a reason.

This incident will definitely be brought up with your local sergeant/super meetings. To navigate this potential pitfall you're going to have to work really hard and really demonstrate that you've changed and developed as a person.

If you don't declare this incident on your Form B your application will most assuredly be binned immediately.

Hi, I'm still waiting for my interview date which should be coming up soon OOM is in the 800+, I'm just wondering what are the 5 competencies from the people who have done it in the last couple of weeks as I want to prepare as best I can for this one. This is my second time applying and really want to do well. Thanks

Would anyone have any idea how long we could be waiting after getting through the interview. I know it depends on the vetting but I never lived out of the country so.. or anyone know the next step from experience

From what I can gather, a date for the medical will be out within 2 weeks and then a further 2 weeks will be the date of the medical.

Just a question in relation to the medical? Do we still get a text through the phone the way public jobs did or is it simply a matter of checking the emails every day? Thanks in advance
