Thanks that's good to know. I thought it must be the Easter delay but I was getting a bit stressed about it all.

Any Idea where Limerick is at the moment? Do you think panel will extended?

Hi All,

I just have a few questions if anyone would mind answering them!

In general what is it like working in Revenue as a clerical officer?

What is the training like in Revenue?

Is Revenue working from home or are they still based in the office?

Is Revenue supportive in learning and development and would it be okay to suggest to Revenue what kind of development your interested in such as professional exams even though you’re a clerical officer?

Any insight would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks!

In answer to your q:
Revenue is a good place to work, varied but also nice to work in.

Training at the moment is online as majority of people are working from home. So it’s training over Skype and emailing and Skype calls between team members etc. Most people are super helpful so it’s all good.

As stated above most are working from home (so no flexi allowed), that being said I believe a lot of teams are hoping to be back in the office before Xmas at least on a pro rats basis (so maybe 3 in and 2 from home). Obviously if your new you may be brought in 5 days so you can train better.

Learning supports are good, lots of courses and you can apply for degrees in taxation etc. Up to your EO and HEO but nearly everyone I’ve met in revenue has been supportive of people bettering themselves.

Best of luck in it 😀 best decision I made and it was a big decision as it was a big drop in wages from private but it’s been great so far.

I haven't been there too long, but my experience has been incredibly postitive. Again, probably depends on what unit you end up in, but mine is incredibly nice and supportive!

Rosslare have only taken on 2. Will they be taking more people on? Does anyone know?

They caught me out ask me what mail merge was thinking I was great with BCC 😅 . Know about GDPR and the microsoft 365 excel ect and when you have used them. And of course the normal stuff team work difficult situations meeting deadlines have examples. They are dead sound you will be grand. Be on time have your camera ready to go. Good Luck

What panel number are you? I'm 14, I wonder have they started the hiring process yet. Not feeling too confident about my prospects at this stage tbh.

I know it's remote training at the moment. Is there a lot of training or is it self learning modules? Thanks 😊

Yeah, the entire department is WFH at the moment. You'll be given guidance by your line manager. A lot of it is learning as you go, but you'll be given tonnes of help!

For me, it took 4 weeks approx from being reached on the panel to starting date.

Good luck.

Maybe give them a call as thats the reply they gave to me so it could mean they have 38 interviewed & ready for positions that may come up

Because I think you are on a different panel to these. Aren't you on something like a HSE panel for clerical officer?

PAS have called up to 38 now for permanent placement in the civil service
