Do they sponser visa for the graduate programme ? It's 3 years of contract . And international students have only 2 years of work permit. Any suggestions ?

Heard nothing yet either since the OOM email, doesn't seem the offers have gone out yet so wouldn't sweat it

Just wondering when ye interviewed for your streams/regions? I interviewed for the Southern Region early last week, no OOM received yet, wondering what the timeline people are expecting following interviews?

Dublin was end of march. East and Midlands was early/mid march.
Dublin emailed back today. East and Midlands emailed within a few days of the interview.

I would suggest send an email to the council if you haven't done yet and ask for clarification, specially for the sponsor visa. It's a very specific question, sorry.
I have a friend who have Stamp-4 Visa (marriage) for example, and normally it's necessary only to renew the visa to keep working in the company. However, this is not a general rule and it all depends of each company requirements, which visa they accept or not... If your visa can be reviewed or not.
They will definitely ask you about your visa status and make a decision. Hope it helped.

I'm in Comms & Marketing too. Top 10 OOM in border & western and in the 20's for the Dublin region. I don't have high hopes for Dublin but would love to know if there's a realistic chance in either.

Not me anyway, still waiting on my results and OOM for the southern region. If people have gotten placements offered have they been given timelines for when they will start?

I think no one has got the call regarding the placements. Are the references going to be contacted ? If yes who are the references ?

I honestly can't even remember if they requested references the application, it was so long ago I don't know if I provided any 😅

I don't know about specifically about Wexford but I just spoke with Cork CoCo and they advised that there was only one position for Economic Enterprise stream in all of Cork City. Not sure if that would have any bearing on Wexfords capacity, I had assumed Cork City would have a higher intake than some others but apparently not. I'd say try send them an email, that's what I did and they got back to me within a few hours

Ok and if you applied for that area could they offer you another area or is it strictly the area you applied for? Thanks

Same here in the data analytics stream as well. I was placed in the top 10 and they clearly mentioned that saying it's unlikely that I will be offered a position in the first round of placements.

Strictly the areas you applied for I believe.
I only applied for City City and got top 5 OOM in the southern region but one of the people ahead of me has been offered the position.

Does anyone know if that means the person ahead of me definitely had Cork City as their first preference? Or would I still not get the offer even if it was their second or third preference, until they had accept their first?

justin8847

Do you guys know how many positions are available in the Dublin region?

acawarrior

When will they start offering places? Let me know if any of you start getting offered a place. Thanks
