For me personally in the interdepartmental I sat the interview on the 26th of May last year, heard I had passed on the 1st June, heard the 8th June I was staying in the department I was currently in, heard the next day the new office I was going to. Signed my contract the 12th June and I officially started the 26th june. I will say this in my case I was offered two potential start dates and as both suited me it came down to when my management team were able to release me.

Hi folks, I recently got promoted through this competition and finally got my pay sorted last week. I’m only getting €10 extra a week from what I was getting as a CO. Can this be right?

It would depend on what scale of the co salary you had been on. When I got promoted last year. I jumped up 100 a fortnight

Spacific

The first fortnight salary is only for 9 days

CiCiCabey

Thanks for the reply’s 😊 does anyone know when you’re promoted if you’re meant to go to the nearest scale plus one? I hope that makes sense, it’s been a long week 🫠

It depends where you are on the current scale I think - there’s a circular that sets out the criteria but not sure of the number

Does anyone know if you are an EO now from a different competition but are considering change, can you do this interview for same level?

Yes.

I was recently offered a town that was not on my chosen list of locations within the county. I declined it as it was an hour away from my home address (this is ok to do only if it’s not one of your chosen towns). I’m just wondering if anyone was in a similar situation - how long was it before being offered somewhere else?

Had an interview a few weeks ago, got 3 OMC (ext), week later got a request for all the clearings and refs.

Week after got an email saying it would get 2 to 3 weeks to start.

I am not gonna get much of a jump either. I am on the scale 5 as a CO, so..it is what it is. Will take an extra day annual leave as a trade in ha.

Thanks! Do you, or does anyone know. If you take the position if you are succesful is your salary, increment date and probation carried over?

Your increment date is now the day you started the new promoted post

Have my interview this week and timing couldn't be worse as on annual leave the past few weeks minding my two small kids so needless to say not much prep work done!

Can anyone advise if Specialist Knowledge and Expertise is just examined throughout the interview based on your answers or is it a competency in itself? The familiarisation material provided by PAS doesn't list it. I recently did an internal EO comp and it was not its own competency.

Alot has changed in my current CO role recently so it would be great timing to get EO now as I would rather move Departments.

Hi

Is anyone on the internal panel EO 2022?

I passed the final interview a year ago this week and I have moved from 5 to 2 on the panel. The next tranche (4) has been called for interviews. Getting antsy now. I keep emailing for updates but they just keep saying my place number.

the fact that the next batch have been called is a good sign…. Right, Right????

misst16

Anyone know what number they have called up to in Clare or has anyone here been placed in Clare? Thanks

Hennesm

anyone heard from mayo

Tupence

Does anyone know if there's a chance this panel is getting extended? New tranche of interviews conpleted tmw but lots still to be placed from second tranche. Closing this June?

Mrnew

That all depends. some internal panels had exhausted there trenche 1 as early as last year and only now they are doing the second trench. I don't think either panel will be extended. It will be new panels set up again like every two years

PublicJobsqueires

Does anyone know when the next External Executive Officer panel is opening? I heard maybe September/October this year but I'm not sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Lisadublin

Has anyone here gone through the HSA (Health Services Authority) EO process, specifically the first stage of assessment involving Administrative Dilemmas? I’d appreciate any insights or tips on what to expect during this stage. Thank you!

Does anyone mind posting the competition booklet? I'm hoping a comp. opens later this year and I want to start reading up on it.

Thank you.

Anyone got tips for the interview - have it on Friday and am extremely nervous - been preparing but would like to know the format - do they ask you straight out about each competency or go around it in a different way?

My experience is that they ask questions that will involve you calling on competencies to answer. It may not be a straightforward "tell me about a time when.... " question but it won't veer too much off of that either. Take note at the start who is going to cover each competency so that when they do ask you questions you know which competency you're being asked to give an example of. I was asked as much about my education as I was about work (I had just finished a degree in public management). One question was what I found the most challenging about going back to education (time management, etc, came in here.)

Best of luck with the interview.

Got my results of EO internal. Very happy with results but my OOM no is over 200. This is nationwide comp, do I have any hope before it expires? Going by previous comments it seems there are people still waiting on previous tranches for positions. Why did the call us, giving us hope, when it will probably expire soon. Very disheartened.

Tupence

Yes, seems very strange calling another tranche, lots from 2nd tranche not placed.
