Roscommon County Council Jobs 2017

Shasheen

Hi,

Just wondering has anyone heard back yet from Roscommon Co Co on their application for Grade 4 and 5 Officers? Applications closed March 30th and I haven't heard anything back.

Thanks in advance!

Nothing yet. I imagine an acknowledgement will be received first and it will be well into May before there is any sort of substantive reposonse.

Hi,

Did anyone receive an acknowledgement? Any idea's of when we'll hear?

wiseoldelf

Still nothing?

Shasheen

Still nothing, a friend of a friend mentioned it in passing to someone they know that works in there about a month ago and apparently they hadn't even started reviewing applications at that stage. They also said not to expect to hear much until after the summer as so many of the decision makers will be away on holidays that very little will be done.
So all we can do is sit it out and wait patiently and hope for good news I guess.

wiseoldelf

heard roughly the same.... t'will be a right place to work so....

wiseoldelf

Anyone got any update yet? I heard they are going through applications and requesting any information that is missing....

Shasheen

Hi,
Still no word from Roscommon.
I had also applied to Galway Co Co around the same time & I received email today telling me I will be receiving an appointment later this week for the Psychometric testing.
So hopefully we'll hear soon from Roscommon too.

Shasheen

Just emailed Roscommon HR as there was a change to my personal details.


Info in reply:
"shortlisting for these positions will commence next week. All candidates will be notified in due course."

The results are out from the shortlisting, any one called for interview? Anyone any idea what format Co Co interviews take?

Shasheen

Thanks for the update. Ah the suspense will get me, I won't be home from work to check post until 7pm.
No idea re interview format I'm afraid. Are the interviews next week?

Any update on these guys??

Mac0783

Results of shortlisting came out yesterday, interviews starting next week. Did you get a letter?

morphman

I got a letter...
Not shortlisted so no interview.

Lilybuds

Got letter today ....not shortlisted. Its very unusual having no aptitude test or some sort of elimination process like other CoCo competitions??

morphman

I agree.
Starting to think I was better off not getting interview....heard there is unrest there

wiseoldelf

didn't get shortlisted either... kind of glad really, took them long enough from application closing date to rejection letter

Is this about the possibility of them loosing flexi time? I don't know how the unions let that slide, it's with the labour relations commission at the moment I think?

morphman

The flexi time is only the tip of the iceberg!!

Mac0783

Really? I know someone who got an interview, could you elaborate a bit? Feel free to send me a pm if you don't want to do it publicly.

Redriddick

Well anyone get the start???
