Clerical Officer 2020

Jd292190

Anyone get the email asking for expression of interest in interviewing for Dublin yesterday afternoon? Not even 24hrs given to respond. Do you think they are just trying to filter out anyone no longer interested and get stage 2 out of the way or do you think they could actually have positions coming up?

If they are at OOM number 10 surely they are working through the batches in ascending order?

I am OOM number 16 and haven't heard anything yet.

Can you let me know when you hear something as I'm OOM 28 and it would give me an idea about how long I'll be waiting. Thanks

Descending order means going from highest to lowest.

In this context, 1 is the highest number on the order of merit.

@Celticbest

Will do!

I interviewed on October 16th and got my result the same day. Did you interview around the same time?

Hey!

Received an email this morning asking to complete declarations / e-vetting and attach personal documents.

Unfortunately I was really busy in work so I will fill those out when I get home.

Essentially we know now that they are up to number 16 in Dublin.

We might even end up being workmates 😂

I see the temporary 2021 clerical officer competition opened today. There is currently 31 ahead of me OOM in my county. Just wondering should I apply.. What happens if you start a temporary position and they reach your OOM for a permanent position?

It depends if you have a job, I wouldn't be leaving a jobs for a TCO position but if your out of employment currently it would be worth going for it.

You resign as a TCO and take up the CO role, a TCO has to give one week notice if they are leaving but its possible for you to leave TCO on friday and start as a CO the following Monday.

You may not get the same department, location or role though.

TCOs are often needed to cover for sick leave, maternity leave, shorter working year, etc.

These wouldn't be permanent positions, which is what this CO competition is hiring for.

They always run a temp panel, needed to cover staff shortage at peak periods (summer months etc). A good few TCO's stay longer than expected in a position. I know a few TCO's in a job for last number of years.

I'm sure your time as TCO counts on the payscale point also? So your increments will still carry.

Have they only been interviewing for Custom Officer roles so far?

Reapply....you never know if you may need it ir not. If you are in a TCO positiin when they call you, you will be put in deferral until your contract ends.

The original panel wasn't moving.

If you have passed Interview at this stage, you have a good chance of a job offer. As for how long you might be waiting that depends on which county and how far up they are on the panel.

You can email PAS and ask how many people are ahead of you on the panel, that would give you a good idea. CO2020@publicjobs.ie
