ESB Apprenticeship 2018

Jdelaney93 · 08-03-2018 6:00pm #1

Just wondering having applied for the apprenticeship myself this year how did everyone get one and it would be great to hear if/or when everyone hears anything back ? It’s early days yet but I’ve heard nothing yet.

Hi, my son applied in early Feb. he completed an online assessment test but has heard nothing since. I know the deadline was 14 March and he was hoping for results by now. Anyone hear anything from ESB ?

Seen you got no reply.

Seems thousands applied, they said it will take a few weeks. I take that to mean, end of month.

I think they review every application.

70 positions in total. I was excited but not so much. I did average at best in the tests, for 70 spots your talking maybe 350/400 people called to interview.

i applied. still heard nothing. does anyone know if it normally takes this long to hear back

FaintBum · 20-04-2018 5:38pm

It's such a long process! Hang there if you haven't heard anything yet, when I applied I didn't get an interview until June/July.

Received an email today inviting to attend an interview in May

Is it a case of ladies first? Any males hear anything?

Fracture · 01-05-2018 9:01pm

Any word on when or if they will get back to us? Ive heard nothing. I think if i havent got an interview at this stage i probably wont.

djmjam · 07-06-2018 9:38am

Has anyone heard back yet after the interview yet?

Mauramol · 09-06-2018 6:59am

No word back yet. They did mention to my son that it will be August before he would hear back. Seems to be a lengthy process

Aug would be cutting it fine too to get ready for sept. Wonder what’s the delay?

Mauramol · 10-06-2018 9:23am

It seems a terribly long time to wait to hear back from an interview! I assume the apprenticeship starts in September so hearing from ESB in August would be definitely cutting it fine !

Emmadunne1 · 11-06-2018 9:21am

My son had interview in May, no word back yet, anyone else do interview in May and heard back,

No nothing yet my son was interviewed on the 2nd May. Very long delay. Would have thought they would have heard by now.

Hopefully they will hear this week, fingers crossed for them both

I was interviewed at the start of may also, I was told that we would be called for medical at some stage in June and if successfull offered a place the same date as the cao offers come out mid August. Best of luck to all

Emmadunne1 · 12-06-2018 1:15pm

My son was same, So still in with a chance, good luck to all

I take it then if your called for a medical you got the apprenticeship? As I doubt they will do a medical for all interviewed? All the best to all.

Not neccessilary, they will call more to the medical than jobs available as some will fail medical

Very true.

Cromsey · 27-06-2018 9:52am

Just seen on another thread that a guy got called for a medical a week or two ago... anyone else get word back?

No nothing. Unless they are doing them in batches? Very strange way of doing it. Surely if they have started Medicals they would also let people know if they weren’t successful? Are they taking all interviewees to medical? What other thread are you on?

Cromsey · 27-06-2018 12:42pm

esb apprenticeships 2018 did anyone get a callback that's the thread

I’m on 3 different threads and no one has heard anything except for that persons ‘mate’. Seems a bit odd.

Mauramol · 27-06-2018 3:35pm

My son hasn’t heard a thing since the interview in early May. It’s an awfully long process.

Silver78 · 28-06-2018 3:33pm

My daughter has been called for the medical in 2 weeks time . Fingers crossed. Very long process though

Fingers crossed that no news is good news! :-)

jen80mcd · 05-07-2018 4:04pm

Nothing yet either. (Dublin)

Bigred23 · 10-07-2018 5:40pm

Has anybody done the medical?

Jacill · 10-07-2018 9:06pm

My son had interview in May, was told they'd be calling back for medicals late June early July?? Nothing yet...just wish he'd be put out of his misery one way or the other!! :-)

Mauramol · 11-07-2018 10:10am

I know of a lad that did his interview mid May - his medical is this week. My son did it in early May. No email yet.....

Did lad doing medical this week have his interview in Dublin ?

Mauramol · 11-07-2018 11:13am

The lad I heard about about was interviewed in limerick, the same as my son. I don’t understand how they are processing this competition. It would be a relief to know either way.

Agreed, my son had his interview in Dublin and hasn't heard anything. Just put them out of their misery !!

:rolleyes:

Bigred23 · 11-07-2018 5:48pm

Any idea when they will inform us about medical ?

I think they said job offers the same day as cao offers. Have you had a medical ?

Bigred23 · 11-07-2018 8:29pm

Not yet anybody from cork hear anything

Emmadunne1 · 11-07-2018 10:36pm

Hi, anybody interviewed in port laoise hear anything!

From looking through different threads, it seems some of those in Athlone and Limerick have heard something, not much about anywhere else, Cork/Portlaoise/Dublin........??

Silver78 · 12-07-2018 11:00pm

Update my daughter got a call today to resit the aptitude test next week in Dublin anyone else hear anything back ?

djmjam · 13-07-2018 12:37am
