    It's worth saying again people have had their interviews or even job offers cancelled after making it possible to link a boards account to an interviewee through saying your number or when your interview is.


    Saying something racist, sexist or anything else online even if there is some truth to it is enough to fail your probation, so be careful linking your post history to your application. PAS do check this thread regularly and the Work & Jobs forum.

    I believe there has still been some movement on the 2018 panel. I was contacted about a position a few weeks ago. I was so surprised, wasn't expecting it. I must have been one of the last hired off the 2018 panel. I didn't want to post anything until it was more official. This must also be why there hasn't been much movement on the 2020 campaign yet.

    Yeah, I've heard of ppl being taken off the 2018 panel in the last few weeks.

    I wonder how many Freds are in the less than 100 people being interviewed for Dublin Port and how PAS feels knowing one of them is publicly looking to cheat in the interview.

    Asking for advice on what likely questions to prepare for is not cheating. It's good interview prep.

    Anybody know if your OOM changes after interview for this competition as in the 2018 one, or is it a pass/fail situation? Thanks.

    That’s pretty silly, what if someone lies about their OOM here? Are you saying the person who really is that number would be ruled out just because someone posted it on Boards, claiming that it’s theirs?

    They’d want to have fairly solid proof before ruling someone out like that, and not just them posting an OOM or asking question about an interview.

    OOM changes after interview AFAIK, my OOM dropped anyway. I presume it could also go the opposite direction too based on interview performance.

    Have you done an interview for the 2020 competition? I know it changed based on performance for the 2018 competition. Just wondering have they changed the format this time as they're only interviewing small batches at a time.

    I think asking about the specific questions is a little different in an interview where there are set questions and the answers to the questions are graded in the same way a written questions would be in an exam.


    Gives an unfair advantage when one person knows word for word the questions they will be asked and possibly the answer being looked for and another doesn't have a clue.


    There was one case where the interview was rewritten overnight and and the new interview issued to the interviers without any time for prep the next morning as the script was shared on boards the evening before.

    I'm not sure, I'd imagine they do have to have solid proof, someone could share their OOM in one thread, the town or estate they live in in another thread, employment history in another, it's not too hard to prove who someone is depending on their boards history. I've seen more cases with twitter and facebook but have heard boards has happened a few times too.

    No, 2018 I was referring to sorry.

    But surely if you mess up at interview you have to drop places. Or else knock em dead, you will jump places.

    That's why I was wondering as sometimes in these comps it's just a pass or fail and you remain at the same OOM. Anyway time will tell for this one!

    Does anyone have any knowledge of the specific questions that are likely to be asked in an interview for a Clerical Officer Portal Inspector (at Dublin Port) or been to one of the interview in the past???

    The job description is totally different to the "normal" Clerical Officer role, hence my question ...

    I’ve heard there’s quite a bit of movement in various departments from EO up so hopefully that will pave the way for some clerical recruitment soon in Wexford. Are you high up on the panel?
