    I applied.

    Got nothing since. Last time I googled it, the update said they hoped to start in September.

    Bit of a joke really considering they launched the thing about 5/6 months ago. You'd think they'd have ran stage one within that time frame. :rolleyes:

    Got the email this morning, 6 months or so after the launch.

    Complete waste of time starting with supervised tests. Not a chance am i taking a day off work for supervised tests when finishing outside of the top 20 will be the end of it.

    If the Public Service only placed 33 in the whole of Galway since the 2016 campaign started, I couldn't see the council getting past 10.

    They're inviting a lot too as i know someone invited the day before me.

    Hi Guys,

    I got the same e-mail inviting me to the tests in the 23rd.

    Just wondering if anybody knows whether, if you've never worked as a public/civil servant, are you guaranteed to start at the bottom of the scale - or does a degree/experience make a difference? (Degree is Arts and experience is 2 years in insurance)

    Thanks in advance guys!

    You'd start at the bottom alright.
