Administrative Officers 2018 in Revenue - Audit and Compliance

Emanine

Hi just got an email inviting me to the Supervised Tests:

It reads: "Further to your completion of the unsupervised online tests, you have been progressed to the next stage of the selection process for the role of Administrative Officer at Revenue. As part of the next stage of the process, you are required to complete your online assessments in a supervised environment. The three tests are Numerical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and a Situational Judgement Questionnaire. These tests measure important abilities that are required to work effectively in this role".

Is there any flexibility regarding the date for the supervised test?

I happened to get the one day I’m not available.

Yup and is it okay if I check if anyone has done it before?

I am totally surprised I was called for this Dublin test given that I blew both verbal and numerical (barely answered half in each of them). From the e-mail, it is not clear if onsite exam will be the same style as the online exam (12 min/49, 12 min/37, chatAssess). E.g. the e-mail mentions "Situational Judgement Questionnaire" and does not say anything about time other than a total of 60 minutes.

I'm quite disappointed that I'm not called for next week, got the standard email saying I reached the required standard but I'm not been called for a retest. Quick turn around has me thinking jobs are available quite quickly + likely to be in the bigger regions like Dublin, Limerick, Cork which I didn't select as a location choice.

Did anyone happen to save the booklet/job description. It seems to be have taken down from online.

In the invite to unsupervised test email it states:

"We will be calling a limited number of successful candidates initially from these unsupervised tests, if you are among these successful candidates, you will be called to a supervised verification test, these tests will take place in Dublin between 30th October and 6th November 2018."

This might explain the quick turnaround time for results.

Did anyone not reach the qualifying standard?

My message sayes along the lines of 'I am not being called for supervised testing at this time, but may however be called for supervised verification tests at a later time and we will be in touch with details at that time'

I was wondering did all candidates get this message that were not successful?

I wonder how many positions are available overall?

Here's the booklet.

I didn't put down Dublin, Limerick or any of the big cities. It's very strange, so little information, it's like they want to confuse people and create more questions than answers

This is what I got in case anyone feels alone for the 2nd paragraph they can fcuk maybe calling!

Further to your completion of the unsupervised online tests for the above competition. Whilst you reached the required standard in these tests, you are not among the batch of successful candidates that we are currently inviting to the supervised verification tests.


You may however be called to sit supervised verification tests at a later date and we will be in touch with details at that time

So either everyone reached the required standard/there is no required standard/it's a lazy lame platitude. Wonder which is true.lol

why did they not do the same for EO,only some where verified. Perhaps they noticed some big difference in those they did and caught lots of cheats.

If it is just a supervised test, go as casual as you like. There is no point sitting there in uncomfortable formal wear if it is just for exams

I had to pull out of the competition, unfortunately, so maybe they'll call someone else in my place...
