I had the interview today and it was tough, I hadn't prepared enough They asked me what is the civil service, what are the core values of the civil service, why do you want to be an executive officer and then the competencies.

Gosh I wasn't asked any of that other than the competencies. But my interview was 18 months ago.
They've finally reached my Oom and should be hearing details about my new job once I pass the Garda vetting.
I had been sure it was too late but great that people are still being placed.

I feel like the interview went badly, there was something quite awkward about it! Still you never know! Do you know the location and department you will be assigned to?

Hopefully it went better than you think.

I don't know yet. I just had an email advising they'd reached my number and to complete the Garda vetting. Once that's done they'll check my references and then tell me where and what department.

Impossible to say. I was in batch 1:1, OOM 12 for another county and it took 18 months for an offer. Of course, covid happened within that 18 months so that didn't help matters.

Anyone interviewing for Cork?

So, over the last few days, I have posted the same question "any word on the Clare panel"? I know I am literally 1 away from being called for the next stage (an interview) according to my OOM. Does anyone have anything they can tell me about their experience with the Clare panel. Is it moving, what has it been like? Others on here have told me they are going for the Limerick panel and buy do I wish I made that my second choice but I am have been holding out for Clare. This my 4th (now 5th) year of trying with the Civil Service and I consistently score high. It just seems that not even the Clerical level is even moving either. I am sorry to be annoying but this is frustrating.

Am I wasting my time in hoping this panel might move before the 2020 comes into effect for Clare?

Just got called for an interview today for Tuesday week. I assumed I was being called for the 2020 competition until I read it again I had no idea they were still pulling from this one. Here’s hoping it goes well.

Had interview last week and placed yesterday from Meath panel.
Honestly thought this panel was finished as the 2020 panel is at interview and placement stage in some regions

They're only placing the Dublin Panel in the 2020 comp. Your panel will cease once they start placing for Meath.

Think I ****ed up big time. I received a message that I had been excluded from the competition due to not confirming my attendance. I had sent an email but when I went back and checked I had misspelled recruitment in it so it did not send.

Do I have any comeback? I emailed PAS and attached the email I tried to send and asked if I could get back in. I’m not at all hopeful and just so depressed now that I ****ed up so big over one spelling.

Edit: Just editing to say after talking to PAS they’re letting me interview which is a great relief! Just said I’d update in case anyone else ever falls into the same situation.

Bugger, I thought the field might have been weakened by 1!

Just kidding. I'm interviewing next week as well for westmeath. Best of luck. Hopefully we both get in

Congrats and best of luck. It is great to see movement on this panel still. I am high on the OOM for Clare and have been praying for movement for months so post like this make me hopeful.

Just finished the interview. Not sure how I did at all but was constantly talking so we’ll see. It’s all a blur now tbh it’s nearly hard to remember what I was asked. Just glad it’s done.

Rikand

Same, I did mine today also. Like, you, very hard to say how it went. Just glad its over.

Believe me, it’ll all come back late tonight when you’re trying to sleep and tomorrow 😂 relax for now and don’t be thinking of it!

Did they tell you when you’ll hear back?

kwestfan08

Got the results back. Wasn’t successful this time. Didn’t get the qualifying score on drive and commitment to public services. So disheartening after all the effort but is what it is. Is there any scope to receive any more feedback from the interview than just the scores?

Rikand

Very sorry to hear that. It's so hard to know sometimes exactly what they are looking for. I got through thankfully so just play the waiting game now.

I believe you can email them to look for more detailed feedback. I'm pretty sure a friend of mine who was unsuccessful at EO interview got detailed feedback... though I could be wrong. No harm in checking to find out. It'll stand to ya for the next time around

Congrats on making it through. Have you a new OOM now?
