Hi I am trying to find out the competencies for the interview. So far all I can get from the email is: Professional Knowledge and Skills, Planning and organisational Skills, Effective Team Working and Communication and Interpersonal Skills. Are there only 4 competencies that we need to know?

I got an email to say I had a message in the portal last wk. So I had 2 wks notice. What area are you waiting on? You will hear back soon

Hi Annemm,

Sorry to be bothering you, i just wanted to ask how you got on and also, did you apply for Dublin North East with a preference for Dublin? where was your interview held? You had same region down as myself, so i cant understand why i havent been called for interview when its the same region..

I emailed them this morning to ask what the story is- -dont want to keep hassling strangers on boards! I just cant understand why i havent heard anything back when i am currently a grade III for HSE.

Ah ok i got a reply from tusla recruit to say that i can expect to hear something in the coming weeks. I hope they dont think im pushy lol maybe i shouldnt have emailed them at all, but i was wondering why it was talking so long considering its over two months since we all applied for this.
Thanks for getting back to me and best of luck!

Hi There, has anyone been called for interview for Tusla Clercial Officer campaign yet? closing date was 29th April and they said they were calling people for interviews in May. I know May isn't out just yet, but i wonder have they actually started interviewing and perhaps i just didn't get shortlisted..I already work as a grade III for HSE, so i would be surprised if i wasn't called.

best of luck with interview & let me no how it goes for you

Hi Tiny14,

I think it went ok! I certainly came out rather elated and confident that i answered every question. That said, in retrospect i could have given a better example to one question, and also there was additional information i had learned back to front on a particular question that, had i discussed, certainly would have been a bonus. But hindsight is another form of regret, and while i can learn from it i still have to move on!

The interview board members were very nice and put me at ease. So, only time will tell, i hope for the best:)

Sounds like you did well JuneMoon! Fingers crossed now

Are competencies questions based on your application form or will you be expected to provide different examples?

tiny14

hi all has anyone from the limerick area herd anything? or the people that had interviews did ye hear anymore?

I havent heard anything, but there is another thread about these interviews and apparently those who have asked were told it will be at least mid-late September.
Thanks, yes it was one of the few interviews i felt ok about, i prepared so much for it but you know yourself, once the nerves set in it can be hard to remember everything you want to say! there was one instance where i may have rambled a bit! but then i reigned it in. One moth ago already! i was obsessing about it for a few days after, but for the most part now im just getting on with things and not thinking about it too much apart from checking my emails twice a day for word back

Hi Tiny 14,

I was asked to discuss the following:

What you know about Tusla (discuss services they provide, when it was founded)
Legislation thats important for the role (discuss data protection laws in thw workplace, Children First legislation)
What your competencies are (computer skills, customer service skills, people skills, organisational skills)
Discuss a time at work when you had to deal with a challenging or difficult situation. How did you handle it?
Keep in mind the STAR system when answering: the situation you were in, the task you were performing, the action taken and the result you achieved. The example can be from anything. Previous job, college project
Good luck!
