Roughly how many people would be on a panel? Just placed 26th on accounting panel but no idea if that's likely to lead to an offer ?? I've only applied to one region, which only contains one office (probably a small one at that)

Just got email, didn't get through to panel, congrats to all that did.

Does anyone know how your place on the panel relates to the locations we picked? I thought we'd get placed on each of the different panels but it seems to be one overall panel?

If you email panel placing they will give you that info.

Congrats to all getting through. Sorry to those that didn't make it. It's been a long road.

It really depends how you have placed for the county you picked and then if a position comes up. It's a bit of a lottery unfortunately.

Didnt get through this year. Ah well, always next year. Congrats to all who got through

I did not make the cut unfortunately....

Congrats to those that did....you deserve an award for getting this far...

Congratulations to those who passed and commiserations to those who did not, it is a testing process for sure. How long will this panel be active for?

Congrats to all who made their panel & best of luck to us all with the Panel waiting game.

Sorry to those who didn't make a panel. Don't give up on it, the next Revenue AO comp hopefully be opening again end of this yr/start of next yr as this panel is only for a year. The experience ye got will stand to you all in the next comp. Best wishes for the future.

Feedback will give you a numerical mark for each of the competencies (normally out of 100) & a few sentences of how you performed overall at the end.
Make sure to look for feedback for both the Video Assessment + Interview as a good learning tool for future Interviews.

As 3002 says it will also give you a narrative on what you did well and where you may have come up short, I would strongly advise all applicants, both successful and unsuccessful, to apply for feedback, it is priceless info on both yourself as an interviewee but also on the mindset of an interview panel and exactly what they pick up on, you literally cannot pay for that kind of insight.

I agree, I was successful but I have already emailed for feedback. It will interesting to know what they picked up from me, what notes they made & how I was scored.

What happens now, just wait for an email when your chosen location comes up. How do the different panels work? I was successful on 2 & picked 2 locations. Does that mean I have a choice of 4 if offered?

Anonire

I've found the written feedback a little generic at times even copy and paste. And also the notes the interviewers have taken haven't always been provided with the feedback. However the numerical feedback is great to even know what areas you have gone down in, and like monkey I would request that regardless of a pass or fail.

Monkey I imagine you will have a different placing on each of the County panels. And whichever one is reached first will be the one you are offered. I don't know how they decide which stream you are chosen off.

Just wondering have they merged the 3 streams into one for the order of merit or are there 3 different panels? Also is the result we received a nationwide wide result? I've emailed the panel email provided but can only imagine they are up the walls busy

Rikand

I wont be looking for the feedback, I know where I went down. Just not a fan of video interviews. I feel totally uncomfortable in them and I never do as well on them as I do on an in person one

I think there is 4 different streams and the oom are for each individual stream. People will have different oom on each stream. I believe the results were overall nationwide.

That's exactly the sort of 'can do' attitude that Revenue were probably looking for :rolleyes:

I got it confirmed this morning that the number you are given is a nationwide number. Each panel is separate. The lady I emailed said they do not have access to the panel info for locations as yet but to contact the panel email & they should hopefully have that info available in a while.

The start date is when the panel is formed so due to all the delays this panel will remain open until Oct 2021. Candidates will be called for AO positions arising in different locations throughout the year Nov 2020 to Oct 2021.

Hi, just wondering does anyone know is it too late to add other locations to your list as circumstances have changed since I applied.

I'm not sure about this year, but last year it was not permitted to make any location changes

emmaneiser

I asked during the week and was told no changes are permitted. Still give it a try though

Kilkenny Tom

Did anyone get their placing for the locations chosen?

redbarndoor

No. Hopefully we will soon. I presume it is a placing number for your chosen panel(s) for your chosen Location. Would anyone have any idea how many people might get jobs from this?
