    Where did you hear that from? At this moment in time I find this very hard to believe.

    Really? I am very surprised as they never give much away when you ask if panel will be extended unless they now know something for sure!! Hopefully it will be extended for all our sakes.

    Mind me asking exactly what they said? I'd love this to be true, just thought they would have e-mailed everyone in that case

    I know this would suit a lot of people but my OOM was shockingly bad (considering I was in the top 10 for TCO) and I'd hoped to getter a better run at the 2021 panel.

    At this rate they'll have reached my number on the EO panel first :rolleyes:

    Some how I couldn't imagine them emailing everyone. If this were true it would be great news for everyone. I know when I asked in the early days they didn't say yes or no to an extension on this panel but I don't think they really know themselves what is happening.

    Might not be such good news: The most likely reason for extending it is that they don't expect to take many people from it.

    I'm in the same boat!

    I only did the CO as a way to pass the time. Nailed the EO both with PAS and the NTA and absolutely ruined the CO process with PAS and TII!

    Gas.

    They told me May 2021 during the week! And that they would notify everyone via Public Jobs message board if they extend the panel...so I’m not sure why they would say 2022 to someone else a day after telling me May 2021...

    True. Typo now fixed: they likely don't expect to take many people from the panel this year.

    All communications are through the message board.

    Any extensions / amendments to panels will be notified to applicants via the message board. Just like when you get a message when panels have ceased etc.

    Easy send out a message!

    Maybe applicants who get a position may not be placed until 2022? Some COs are waiting 6/7 months to be placed at present after getting a job offer.

    It’s been a few weeks since I was given my assignment but HR haven’t contacted me yet to let me know a location or estimated start date. The last communication I received was on my PAS message board to let me know I’d been assigned. Is this this usual to not be contacted for few weeks?

    We'll see, only time will tell I guess; it would be nice if they extended the panel after May this year for all of us. Fingers crossed.

    What does a batch number mean, for instance if your batch 10 and 6 in order of merit , is that bad or good?? So confused

    Does anyone know what departments in which a clerical officer would be asked to help organise an event? Just curious about that one!

    All of them!

    A farewell morning tea for a colleague is an event.
    A stand at an outreach day in the local community centre is an event.
    An international conference with a 1000 delegates is an event.

    COs would have roles in helping to organise all of the above.

    However in the first one, they would be the "project manager", while in the last they would likely be just a helper with a very defined role

    That’s perfect thank you. Was just curious if it would a general thing or more likely in some rather than others, but as you say it depends I suppose.

    Also received results after interviewing on Friday - not used to a quick turnaround from PAS!

    Placed 5th on the OOM for Dublin, but I am currently a TCO and have requested to remain where I am, so hopefully that is accepted and someone else on the OOM will be offered the 5th job instead.

    I interviewed last Tuesday and received my results today. In batch 20 and placed with an oom 35. The process has gone quite quick from being advised of an interview so im taking this as positive.
