There were 450-ish called for e-tray in October and those scoring above 624 (out of 800) were called for interview in January.

I wonder if they interviewed anyone who scored less than that during this month, as the qualifying standard was only 409 from what I heard?

Any one called to e-tray Clare/Limerick? And if so what OOM did they go up to?

So has anyone applied for the EOPI position?

I'm really tempted as I think it would be so interesting, but I'm worried about the life style changes you'd need to make with night shifts etc. Also, presumably no chance of WFH within the role.

What's the difference between a CO and EO grade?

EO is a management position and you may be responsible for staff

Was this only open to certain people within the competition or existing civil servants?

Hi All, sorry if this has been asked before but have they started calling Mayo for stray yet and if so, any idea what oom they have reached? Thanks

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can remember any questions they were asked at interview? I have mine this week and the panic is starting to set in!

Just make sure you have your competencies prepared. It's a good idea to have 2 for each just in case.

Does anyone know the highest oom called for kerry in the first round.

They called anyone with a score of 119 and above. I just missed out.

How long did it take before you got your etray results?
I know not to expect them this week, but trying to work out a timeline as going through an internal competition at the same time

Perfect, thank you. I should be done with interviews on the internal competition and I should know exactly where i stand.

Just got my results from my interview last week. Thankfully I passed it, and surprisingly I did a lot better than I thought.

Congratulations Buster. Same! Batch 1.3. (Dublin). Just hope there's jobs for us

Do they appoint everyone in one batch before moving on to the next? Will people in batch 1.3 definitely get appointed?

Any tips!?

I’d imagine everyone in the batch will be placed. I think someone said they called over 3000 people last year for e-trays so I’d say once nothing negative comes up when they’re doing your reference checks during clearance you can probably guarantee placement.

Thanks Gestappo! The interview felt very tailored to my experience listed on my application form, but phrased in a way that it tied back to the competencies. I just went through the competency indicators and wrote down situations I’ve been in that feel like they were relevant and tried to phrase my answers to use the keywords and cover the skills outlined.

Just got my results for the inrerview unfortunately I didn't pass.

Good luck to everyone else still in the competition.

Thanks, had a feeling after the interview so was kind of expecting it.

Hopefully it works out different next time.

Good luck to you in the competition.

Sorry to hear it mate. Just keep on trying. This is my third EO competition usually went down during the etray sections so its great you made it so far

Just had a message to say I've passed. Such a relief.
My OOM is 13. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I assume this means there are 12 people ahead of me?
