I also got emailed I passed the interview and in batch 4.3. Am I right to assume they might start assigning soon due to the sudden speed?

You have to be patient I was in batch 3.? Did my interview in early March only got placement last week...

If you are waiting on placement and the campaign expires, do you miss out?

I think you have to be offers. Department if you have that your safe but if you only have passed the interview that is no guarantee

Anyone know how many people were in batch 3.2

Just looked up the salary scale for the EO... I would start off on €1000 more than I'm on after 4 years as a CO. Not going to plan any shopping sprees just yet.

Aye, the step up from CO isn't very much if you've been a CO for a bit. Nice to have a bit more head room on the scale though

Some departments move you up one scale if your on the CO Scale,

Anyone get there department yet...? Start date

Anyone hear anything from the recent interview re which department they will be assigned to?

Gracie21

No nothing yet

We'll be waiting a while I suspect. Could be a tight one. I'll be devastated if the panel expires before I'm placed.

Email from PAS this week, 12 left on previous batch to be placed before they move onto 4.3. Panel due to expire end of September but subject to change

Interesting..i asked them before I interviewed if there were many candidates still waiting to be placed.and they said All candidates who have already been successful have been placed.

Very hard to know what to believe so! Does anyone know if they are still interviewing? Surely that's a good sign if they are.

Has anyone who received an email last week to declare an interest in attending an interview received a date?

Same, good luck.
Has anyone who passed the interview got tips for the civil service values competency question e.g what exactly are they looking for?

thenightman

Literally first Google result for EO competencies. Read it and make sure you can tick each of the performance indicators for each of your competency examples and can explain them clearly. Not rocket science like.

Would you say completing a relevant college course would satisfy the expert knowledge and self development competency?

Along with a commitment to continue education, etc. Expert knowledge is a tougher one as you don't know where you'll end up.

Was anyone who interview for this panel asked for more than one example of the same competency?

The way they might ask a question might lead to you needing more than one example, as it may overlap with something asked previously. It's not just tell me about a time you did X competency, they do have some questions that are more probing. IIRC I was asked "Tell me about a time you had to make a decision without all the information available".

redmgar

Is the commitment to civil service values not a competency they ask you for?

They will likely ask about that and something about self development / development of expert knowledge.

Have an interview this week.
Hoping it won’t be a disaster!

People with interviews this week did you get confirmation when you sent on in a copy of your ID? Just realised mine went in a little late.....

I got the standard acknowledgement of my email.

redmgar

If you were to pass the interviews this week, what do you think are the chances of being placed before the expiration date?

I had my interview today via zoom. I am posting to see if anyone was given an idea on how long before getting news of results?
