ah well thats curtains for me so!!! it was pointless calling us up that late when the new campaign has started wasnt it and only reason i went up was i missed 2nd part of the 2018 online one due to my internet😫😫 but hopefully the people that have interviews done an waiting to get placed do get something now!!

Has there been movement in Longford?

It will be a joke to call people up for interview. Place them on panel and then nothing happens before deadline. It cost a fair penny to travel twice to do exams and interviews. Id be gutted. Esp kerry
Any news on placements in corrk

A friend of mine was told it would expire in October or early in November today and they were in the 90s, batch one has 100 people and they have interviewed a handful from batch 2 in recent weeks.

I was up for interview couple of weeks ago and passed that stage, when I spoke to them she didn't seem to think that it was likely that I would get placed before the end of the campaign unless there was a big request from departments but historically that doesn't look likely. Such a waste of time travelling up but if I didn't go I would have always been wondering

Regarding getting called for interview if anyone's still waiting to hear, I called this morning and was told that that was it for interviews. Now whether that is just for Limerick or not I don't know, but the person I was talking too did say that things could change before the campaign comes to a close.

No problem. That's the thing noone seems to know.
Have you called them or emailed? It's best to call or email as otherwise you'll just drive yourself crazy guessing.

Hi Guys,

I’m asking on behalf of a friend who is wondering if anybody ever started in the civil service and kept on a part time evening job as well?

Or if it is even possible to do so? She would be taking a big drop in salary so she was hoping to keep on an evening job as well so she wouldn’t feel the pay drop as much!

Civil service jobs are typically 9-5. Why wouldn’t she have time to work 2 jobs, I’m not seeing the issue.

Quote from handbook

The op hasn’t mentioned what the second job is so I’ll assume it’s part time in a shop, pub, restaurant or similar. Hardly likely to interfere with official duties of an office clerical worker. That would be different if both jobs clashed time wise.
