Having trouble opening the application link to fill out form, anyone manage to open it?

Try copying the link to your desk top - then open it on your desktop - I think that’s how it’s done

You have to open it with Internet Explorer. It doesn't work with Chrome or Mozilla. So I was told on the phone. Would have been helpful to mention that in the message!

For the actual form, anyone else find it strange that they are asking about Management Level, Number of staff reporting to you and Annual budget allocation?

This is an entry level position?

Or am I overthinking this?

Just put N/A if you don’t have management experience I would say! It’s what I will be doing 🙂

I can't understand why this is being asked either

Have you tried a new fresh installation of Adobe Reader? That's what did it for me I think.

I was told on the phone you get your confirmation of the interview by the end of the week when the deadline closes

Does anyone know how soon after interview you'd know if you were successful for such position?
I know it would depend on the grading, but how soon do they call the highest graded?

They’ve moved incredibly quickly already in comparison to any other campaign! I would say within the week or fortnight after the interview

I have updated my adobe and it will still not let me open the link which was attached and has to be sent back. Can anyone help me?

Asdfghjkl1

I have gotten my form filled out, and have sent it back to the e-mail address given from my own personal e-mail address is this correct?

annatuk29

I think the email we have to send it back to is cro2018@publicjobs.ie

Hi, I had to change my internet explorer settings to work with the new version of abode. After I installed the new version of abode, and opened a Chrome tab, I was given instructions on how to do it.

annatuk29

I sent mine to my own email address to make sure it was correct but it was just showing the initial first form (Wait for page to load)
I think there is a save/cloud icon on Adobe that you press to upload the document. That's what I have done so really not sure if this is what you do or not.. maybe check by sending it on to your own email. I have spent the last two hours trying to figure it out and then pressed that icon. It is now faded which I guess means it has been sent.

Can anyone else clarify this please??

I’m having the same problem. I got it filled and saved it in my documents as a pdf but when I check to see if it has attached properly to the email it just opens the blank page saying it can’t redirect. Can anyone help?

I thought the same, but I sent it to myself and when I received it, I downloaded it instead of just trying to preview it, and the entire form was there.

So I sent it off to the correct email address and I got an email confirmation that it has been received.

Finally got it sent off, downloaded it and viewed through PDF, thanks so much for all the help and advice!!

I don’t think
we will get confirmation of interview until end of this week.
You should check about your form though because they do email to confirm receipt of form.

I got an email to say they had received my form so hoping that it just shows the page with the note on it until they download and save it at their end.
