    Just spotted that .. so does that mean they have cleared the current Dublin one ?

    Hi 🙂

    I’m currently going through reference check etc does that mean once the nee competition opens if I haven’t been place I’m off the panel?



  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭Ahshurlookit


    I'm fairly certain the Dublin panel will be exhausted before a new panel forms. Even with a competition opening on Friday, it'll be at least 3 months before a panel is formed. Probably 3 weeks to submit applications, then at least a week before aptitude test window which will be another week. At least a fortnight before results are announced and the probably 2 weeks notice of interview dates. The interviews probably go on for 2 to 3 weeks and then another couple of weeks before results are released. And all the above are conservative estimates, each stage could take longer.



  • Registered Users Posts: 934 ✭✭✭furrybones


    If you're going through reference checks you are most likely being considered for a position. You will be placed from the panel before it ends.

    Where did you see this about a new EO competition



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,594 ✭✭✭raheny red




  • Registered Users Posts: 33 Sunshine_21


    I see there is a new EO competition starting for Dublin. Does anyone know or think that if you were to get through all stages of the competition would there be any option of changing county or letting your own HR dept know you made panel?



  • Registered Users Posts: 21 molly1523


    No if it’s for Dublin, jobs will only be offered for dublin if successful. You would have to accept it and wait for mobility if you wanted to move county’s from that job.



  • Registered Users Posts: 33 Sunshine_21


    Thanks for the reply. It was wishful thinking on my part. I'm currently waiting to be called for interview, it's just a long process for people outside Dublin.

    Does anyone know if COs have blended working in the Dept.Of Education? If so, how many days WFH? Also, is it straight away or do you have to see out your full 1 years probation to get it? Thank you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 388 ✭✭pygmaliondreams


    I'm gonna apply for the new competition tomorrow, does anyone know if my Level 5 PLC will be accepted? It is in office administration and I have 8 distinctions.

    I got 4 H4s and up in my LC but the other 3 are H5 :(



  • Registered Users Posts: 123 ✭✭Mr lebowski


    I had a level 5 FETAC course that qualified me. I was unsure and nervous about it but it was approved and I got the go ahead thankfully. So if that's the same level as that yours you will be fine.

    Hi Everyone, i passed the EO and received a message that i have been assigned to National Parks and Wildlife Service, i believe its under the Dept of Housing and Heritage.

    Anyone know is there blended working? The Dept i am currently in has blended working.

    Cheers

    It seems to be just a brief application at this stage? The full competency examples application must only be required if you score high enough in the aptitude tests and are invited to interview? Makes sense I guess, not wasting applicants or public jobs time with applications that don’t progress.



  • Registered Users Posts: 10 Rebel90


    Anyone know is Cork panel moving over the summer? Was at 48 a few weeks ago… thanks!



  • Registered Users Posts: 19 user1250


    Hi

    I recently got placed to the office of revenue commissioners does anyone know anything about their wfh, flexi etc.

    Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 934 ✭✭✭furrybones


    I believe Revenue is 1 day in the office, but only after 9 months training - which is 5 days in the office.

    Update for Kerry 68 open



  • Registered Users Posts: 67 ✭✭WednesdayGirl


    Hi VanBer, I work in DOE Athlone, got 3 days WFH after a few months training. You under consideration for job there?



  • Registered Users Posts: 44 Teresa94


    Longford has been on 33 since March 2023, any idea what the hold up is? Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 63 ✭✭NigelB770


    Donegal are on 5 🤦‍♂️ they were on 4 about 3 months ago. Extremely slow moving for some reason



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,551 ✭✭✭jaffa20


    Any recent update on Kildare? I emailed about a month ago and they were on about 100 open



  • Registered Users Posts: 10 Capella10


    Did you start last week? How did you find it?

    I am currently an ASO in a local authority and have accepted an EO offer. When I asked about pay (it would be a big financial hit to start at the first point in the scale) HR told me I would have to apply for incremental credit once I'm in the job. This seems risky if they don't consider the roles analogous or this as a promotion as it would take me a long time to build back up to what I'm on now. Does anyone have any experience going from ASO to EO and successfully moving to a higher starting point on the scale? Thanks!



  • Registered Users Posts: 831 ✭✭✭rsl1976


    I didn't change grade but I joined the civil service about 12 years after leaving a local authority. I had to start on point 1 and then apply for the increased point on the scale, only took a couple of weeks at the time. No reason you shouldn't get it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 925 ✭✭✭Vologda69


    I was told same by Revenue few years ago so didnt take the offer. I was with public service at the time. When I joined Dept Social Protection, their HR had no issue sorting my starting salary and had it written into my contract.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 trisha1981higgins


    Hi Jessica i was 26 for longford did inter 16th March got placed 6 on panel the first 5 have been placed but I still haven't been offered anything



  • Registered Users Posts: 2 JiminyCricket2


    Got update from PAS, assigned to the Courts, how long until HR contact about start date etc? Currently in private sector so keen to get moving.

    Also is there any potential for blended working in this area?

    I work for DSP I work from home 4/5 days a week in the NPT been doing so since I started not finished probation yet.



  • Registered Users Posts: 66 ✭✭WHIreland


    Just received a letter expressing if I am still interested in Westmeath? I’m in the late 90s… is this a guaranteed interview with a potential job then or would they just keep interviewing and keeping you on the panel. Kind of confused as last time I was on here Westmeath didn’t get passed OOM 3 lol



  • Registered Users Posts: 76 ✭✭westhamlady


    How long after interview do results come out ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 2 JiminyCricket2


    I had interview mid May, then notified of panel position on 01/06 as well as Eligibility checks same day. Got notified of position on 12/06 pending checks. Garda clearance came through on 03/07 after 2 wks. Then PAS confirmed department same day. Fairly quick turnaround.


    Any idea how long it takes from PAS confirmation to Hr contacting about the actual role?



  • Registered Users Posts: 4 nmcd94


    Hi,


    Did anyone go for the Comms Officer, EO Level? I have had my interview etc, just wondering if anyone has had any updates?



  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭blondie1985


    It all depends what department you are in. Some give wfh straight away others seem to be after couple of months and then some after 6 months.



  • Registered Users Posts: 65 ✭✭Poolbabe


    In my experience. Sat the interview end of May. Had the results 1st June. Pre clearance checks began the next day and then PAS looked for reference the following Thursday. My boss submitted it to my hr and I had heard within the hour of it being submitted that I was staying in the same department and heard the next day of my new office. My start date was exactly a month after the interview.



  • Registered Users Posts: 167 ✭✭336699


    EOIs for interview in Tipperary were issued this week too.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 trisha1981higgins

    I think your current AP/HEO will need to release you so it could be 2 or 3 weeks, it may depend how big the unit you're currently in is. If you're in a large unit, you might be released quickly enough, whereas if you're in a small unit your manager might hold off releasing you until you have a replacement sorted.



  • Registered Users Posts: 76 ✭✭westhamlady


    Over how many miles can you refuse an job offer but still stay on a panel



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 265 ✭✭innocent_lover


    Hi, I have my career break approved from October in my current job. If i get promoted and moved to new department. Does new department is obliged to honour approved career break or not? Thanks

  • Registered Users Posts: 26 Aisling09


    I have received an EOI for interview for Sligo. Has anyone been placed in Sligo and if so did you receive a location preference before being assigned. TIA



  • Registered Users Posts: 167 ✭✭336699


    Did anybody receive an EOI for interview for Limerick this week?



  • Registered Users Posts: 26 cgordy


    Got my results yesterday for my interview I had on Monday 26th June. I got it and number 38 in my batch. Anyone know approx how long it'd take to get to this number? I'm a bit worried they'll start taking people from the new competition and close this one they get to me.



  • Registered Users Posts: 26 cgordy


    For anyone else wondering PAS replied to my email and panel is running till mid 2024



  • Registered Users Posts: 26 cgordy


    Also is anyone applying for the new open competition who is currently working as an EO or waiting to be assigned from the 2022 panel. Do people do this to move departments EO to EO? I think I saw someone mention this on the thread earlier but had never heard of it before
