I rang PAS last friday with regards to Mayo panel and was told there was no applications received for clearance for either Mayo/Galway, they said it would be more than likely after Xmas now.

I got a second phone call with an offer to defer my placement as it's 80kms from home. So I took that option.

As in hold off to see if your other region comes up ??

p.s Is it true that 50 % of vacancies are allocated to staff transferring in from other counties ??

Not sure, but a lot of current clerical officers apply for the open competition, as it can be quicker than waiting for a transfer.

It's true, it's a 50-50 split between current clerical officers wanting a transfer and the open panel

Yes, there is a new mobility scheme in place now which means the 50% of the positions are filled from existing civil servants and 50% new candidates.

Didn't think that permanent staff could apply again ...interesting though all the same

does that mean you are no longer eligible for Tipp panel or will they just call you in a few days with something closer to home?

In that case i'd be inclined to take the first offer I got....

It's just a shame that you can't find out what the actual amount of vacancies for each county is ??......especially with the new 50:50 split

:(

The guy said that cos I'm more than 45kms away I could defer till something closer came up.

It’s 23338 per annum which would be €1705 net per month which would be €420 per week after tax or slightly less as most months have more than 28 days.

I was getting 401 a week after tax when I started and that was early last year, there has been a couple of small pay increases since then

Jam1234 · 26-11-2018 10:10pm

Anyone got offer for Cork yet? And if you did what number were you on panel. I got number 11 after my interview and just wondering how things are moving.

podsull1 · 26-11-2018 10:11pm

Think you skip point 4 on the scale and jump to 5

CandyCane_81 · 26-11-2018 10:18pm

When their marking the tests - say for example the checking test, there is 46 questions and you manage to answer 36 of them and 26 of those answers are correct.

Is it marked 26/36 or 26/46?

I think its 26/36 however there is still a minimum score of say for example 26 correct answers.

In that situation, you passed. If the minimum was 27, you would have failed.

Have the competencies really well prepared, at least 2 examples for each. Be able to explain any gaps in your employment, all the way since your leaving cert. Know how to send a group email!

Most of all, be concise in your answers. There isn't much time (though it feels like ages when you're in there), be able to make your point without waffling!

Good luck, it's not nearly as scary as it feels right now!
