2020 Executive Officer Civil Service

gestappo

Going by the other CS threads like the 2020 AP; their etray results were back within 2.5 weeks which going by this logic will hopefully mean we get results by next Friday 27th.

I'm not the most patient this time around, jumping to my phone every time I get a text today thinking it could be results :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Quite a few HEO roles to be filled internally in AGS with the new operating model. How many of the EO positions that creates they will fill I don't know but just thought you might like to know. EO tends to be (but not exclusively) a specialist role in AGS rather than a supervisory one.

Specialist role - in what way?

They do a specific role like Evidence Admin or PAF (PULSE Admin). Not to say there aren't EO running shows or doing general admin, there are but the New operating model has HEOs over the two Business services areas reporting to an AP.

Anyone else here had a particularly horrible year and hoping (probably inadvisedly) for a change of luck with this recruitment campaign? How subjective parts of that etray were hasn't done all that much for my nerves..

I'm with you on that 100%. I've also had a horrible year and I'm hoping that I get called to do the etray eventually. I'm in the late 400s for Dublin.

Same here hoping that I'll have a bit of success in at least one of the comps I'm in for! Best of luck to you anyway + I agree with you about the etray - honestly no clue how well or bad it has gone but I'm sure we'll be put out of our misery soon enough this week hopefully!

I get you..... I'm 900 for inter and 3000 for Dublin. Fingers crossed I'll get called for either. Am feeling positive that I will😜

Thanks.. best of luck to you all. For one reason or another this feels like one of the worst possible times in living memory to be out of work. Stay strong everyone. Things will get better

Has anyone here applied for and been placed for EO Irish language stream ?? I am placed on this camps but extremely slow to move. A separate campaign. I was promoted to EO in 19 and I absolutely loved the work as CO but not v happy with the work as EO so looking for a move elsewhere. It's mentally draining. Hoping for an internal or external move soon.

Hi all. Quick question. I got 300 for Dublin overall and inter 112. I got 60 for Kildare overall and 20 for inter. The e-tray i did 2 weeks ago, i assume that is for both dub and Kildare and I will not have to do another one?

Also if I failed the e-tray I am just out of the comp I assume and if I passed does it effect my oom placing or do I stay where I am and just go to interview stage?

Many thanks, any help appreciated as this is my first time in an eo competition stream. Cheers 😊

I also asked that question and didn't get an answer. Just got told to check the competition booklet. It didn't answer my question either. What I can tell you is a friend of mine who did a HEO competition last year was told the etray and interview would count for both Dublin and regional streams. Her scores would just get slotted in to the regional stream when the time came.

This competition is a bit different though. For the regional stream we'll only get called as vacancies arise so I don't know how we'll get slotted in in that case. I'm like you in that I'm high enough in both streams so I would prefer to leave it until my region to come up. I'm just going to wait for the etray results and then I think I'll contact PAS and see what they advise.

I'm already an EO too. I loved my original posting but I moved on mobility (I'd been with the same department for years and thought a change would be good) and now I HATE where I am now so am realky hoping for success in this competition.....

Yes if you fail at any stage you are out of the competition. If you pass the e-tray you will receive a new OOM.

This is my first time to apply. From reading the booklet if you are invited for interview & you attend, you will no longer be considered for a position in your other regional choice. This is a bit of a loss especially if had have a good OOM for the other region & would prefer it. Its all a waiting game!!

I think Dublin is separate to the other regions though. That's why you get a Dublin score and a regional score (unless you didn't apply for Dublin of course). But yes if you interview for one region you'll be taken off the other regional panel you picked.

If you choose two locations (and there was no obligation to do so), you are suppose to be willing to work in either locations.

In the past if you were called to interview for one county and passed, your score carried over to the other location. Although you skip the interview in the second county, you didn't jump the line per sé. You still needed to wait until your OOM was "called to interview" in that county and only then would your interview score be assessed against other candidate in that interview batch.

Regardless of your OOM, If you are invited to interview in one county, that is the location which gives you the best chance at getting a job.

You can refuse the first interview, be removed from that county, and wait for your other county. However no matter how good your OOM is, there is no guarantee your number would ever get called to interview in the second county and so really its a false choice.

I e-mailed to ask when e-tray results could be expected and was told "sometime in December".

Any chance of an etray outside of Dublin this year?

I wouldn't think so tbh. Probably late January or February if say, at this rate.

Hi there,

I'm just wondering how you got on? Did they ever get back to you about your etray? I'd hate to think of someone missing out because of a glitch. Fingers crossed you got to do it again 🀞

Yes I got it done in the end thanks to another poster here.

Thanks again to all who got in touch

Aleece2020

Any chance of more people being called to e-tray in Dublin within the next month or two?

I’m thinking around the 27th, two weeks time from now.

I can't see them dragging this out any longer than next week.

Hope you're right this time! Would be great for those successful if interviews were done before christmas.

I hope I am right too, the suspense of pending results is grating but I doubt they'll interview before Christmas.

They're focusing on the AP campaign currently and powering through that.

You'll have to be an EO for 2 years before you can apply for any Interdepartmental or internal promotion.[/quote]

Would you know, if I request a move from one dept to another, does my previous service make me eligible for internal competitions or do I have to do a further two years in the new department?

In fairness to the 2 year requirement it's any service, even that of a TCO.

Can you request a specific department, or is it just a general move?

PAS do not take requests.

If you turn down an offer, you're taken off the panel.

Not true, you can refuse a place. Maybe doesn't suit you for many reasons.

You do go back on the panel and no guarantee it will reach you. But if you refuse you not taken off panel. A friend of mine refused twice, still on the panel.

I agree PAS don't take requests.

Am open to correction but that's what I know from reliable source.
