They contacted my current employer already. Same week I had to get all notarised documents done. I chased up my previous employer references and they rang my manager. I haven't officially given a leave date but they know I'm leaving. It's a terrible situation now.

in my case they waited until everything was cleared first before they contacted my employer for the reference, i know its an awkward situation and completely stupid way of hiring, once they contact your employer they obviously know your leaving then, its very awkward. My previous employer wanted me to stay for 2 weeks which was fine, but i hounded the hse to get a start date straight away, but my previous employer didn't try and replace me before i had gone out the door though

Once all documentation has been notarised and sent in how long, roughly, have people had to wait to hear a response?

Has anyone applied for the expressions of interest for Kerry - 5 in total, 2 part time (re-advertised). They are all in KGH and you would be required to work weekends, etc.

Just learn off your competency based questions from your application form. That's all they ask you. You'll be fine, good luck

Not a peep since March/April. Only one expression sent and it was for a part-time position.

Has anyone had issues with getting references from current employers? I'm at pre-employment clearance stage and my line managers are unable to give references (HR restrictions) and a pre-written reference has to come from HR instead.

How long does contract stage take. I've all documents submitted.

Hi there. I have an interview next week and I am starting to panic a little because I made a complaint to my local hospital about a bad experience I had with a consultant during a recent visit there and I am wondering if I am successful with my interview and they start their checks on me, will this go against me?

tonzboher

is the job you're going interviewing for in the hospital you complained about?

The interviewers will have no knowledge of this at all, it will have no bearing on your interview. Chances of you being placed in this hospital are slim. The interview will give you an order of merit and if and when your number is called you get offered the chance to take the next job. If you dont want it, for example its to far or it is this hospital then you do nothing...someone else takes this job and you get offered the next
IF it is this hospital and IF you do accept it and IF during the background checks they deem you not suitable for this position someone else gets it and they offer you the next.
So stop being concerned and do a good interview, the interviewers only know what is on your form.

And i am being quite pessimistic about this campaign, it is moving very slow and i feel chances of offers now very slight.

Thanks Tringle. You have reassured me. X

Does anyone else find interviews very stressful? I was so anxious all the week before mine, so bad I found it hard to concentrate on anything else. I was so worried that my mind would just go blank in there with the nerves. I had my interview last Tuesday. I feel the interview went ok, interview panel were lovely, but it was very structured and my mouth was so dry during it. It's so hard to call. So fingers crossed it went well. Not sure I'll hear anything this side of Christmas although they did say between 7-10 days. Anyone else have an interview recently?

It's hard to say as they didn't say how many positions will be offered from this post.

Anyone knows how many jobs were offered from Clare panel since the beginning of this campaign?

not sure and hard to know how panels are fixed as a number of people may have already being offered clerical officer roles through Civil Service and Public Service panels or even private service

Last time I contacted HBS recruitment I was told that we will be notified if the panel is due to expire.

Hiya guys

I am currently on a temporary contract ( 11 month, maternity cover).

Just wondering what's the next logical step. Will I continue to receive info on permanent positions? Or should I look to reapply to the next public jobs campaign?

I don't want to go through the year without planning for the end of this contract.

Has there been any progress on Longford/Westmeath grade III? Heard nothing going back since Feb.

Also, Has any of ye ever been in temp job and your temp comes up on permanent panel but your not high enough on the panel to get the job? What happens you then?

You would have to talk to your line Manger and see it they can sort anything else out for you but normally if your job is put up on permanent panel then being temporary your contract should be finished. Personally from what I see they normally don't put posts up on permanent panel if they are happy with temp who is filling them but then again this is up to Manger so will differ from place to place
