I wonder which is better. CO in the Civil Service or CO in the HSE..

Closing date 15th June - been on the HSE panel since a November last year - still waiting to be placed though low double figures - received 4/5 expressions of interest for Tipp but nothing further - seems like a slow moving panel

Some panels can move so slow I'm on a panel since last August and received only a handful of expressions of interest, on another panel I applied in February interviewed in April and I have just accepted an expression of interest that was sent out so just going through the recruitment process now

What kind of questions could you expect to be asked at interview for a HSE Clerical Officer? Any suggestions or links would be much appreciated.

Hi, it is a competency based interview for example team skills, customer service and etc. You will have to use STAR method and use examples from your own experience for example how you dealt with a difficult customer (so you have to tell them what you actually did)

jkmanc1974

Mainly competency based questions but I got a few general questions about the HSE eg how many regions within the HSE are there, how many people does the HSE employ etc

Does anyone know at what point referees are contacted? I've just been told I was successful and I'm now on a panel but reading some threads on here that doesn't really mean very much! I'm working and my boss really doesn't want me leaving and I'm just worried he would be contacted and find out before I've even been offered a job..I'm sorry I probably sound silly but I've never been on a panel before so im confused.

Are you successful based on this recent campaign or from an older one? I think your referee's won't be contacted til youve accepted an offer

There hasn't been much in terms of Grade 4 around the area, I am working in...I have a Tusla ( treated as Internal HSE) Grade 4 interview in Cavan ,where I'm from,today.

Most jobs in Meath I've seen advertised have been Grade 5 and above, a few ,Grade 5 positions whose managers I've done work for and whom I'd have probably stood a decent chance at least getting on a panel.

Has anyone heard back since the assessments yet? Or does anyone know how long it takes to hear back?

No I haven't heard anything yet. I'm not sure how long we'll be waiting either.

I just got the email from cpl there. I didn't do well unfortunately. 77 was the highest score of anyone and 20 was the lowest. My score was 37. It says I meet the eligibility requirements but I'd imagine, as there arent many positions, that only the top scorers will be called for interview!

Hi

I am around the same score as yourself so not holding out much hope. Any idea how long the panel will be live for. Does anyone know can your score change after interview?

GaGa21

Around the same score too but I am hopeful. It may be just a select few with the high score and we could be the average, fingers crossed!

Any links to interview questions or hints and tips welcome. I'm trying to make a career change but feel the lack of experience is going against me regardless of what I score.

The process moves very slowly unfortunately,If you've completed all the forms with regards references and health declarations etc, They are obviously in the process of contacting your referees.

Once that's completed, Your line manager should get in touch,might be a few other bits of paperwork and then a start date will be agreed.

It is frustrating,took me about 6 weeks from when i accepted a post,to when i started.

Mr lebowski

I just got my results also. I scored 55 so happy enough with that!. The process doesn't seem too clear from here on out. Does anyone know can you carry time from the civil service and public service or agency work for the HSE that could be the deciding factor for me

Thanks

I also got my results back from cpl, scored 56. I’m still not very hopeful as it seems people here on last years panel still waiting to be called.

Caoimhe2

I only scored 49 with the highest total score being 77 and lowest being 20. I have no idea where that puts me, especially Sligo/Leitrim. Not getting my hopes up.

That’s promising thank you!

I scored in the 70s and interview is early next week. Its moving fairly quickly.

I've been working in the hse for 2 years on specified purpose contracts from the 2017 panel.

Last panel took the guts of a year to go from application to interview/panel numbers being given out so this is pretty surprising how quickly it's moving.

Edlarkinm

Got 60 myself but no interview as of yet but sound promising! Best of luck to all 👍

Mr lebowski

It is moving fast. I got an interview date already and I'm sure a lot scored higher than me.

Edlarkinm

Just got an interview for next week so it's deffo moving fast!

Hi, yes you carry your time from the civil service over I have a friend who recently carried 6 years as a CO over to HSE. You just need to ensure you've a statement from the departments youve worked in clearly outlining your dates of service.

Anyone any idea whether there has been any movement for Limerick? Has everyone called so far been in the Dublin region?
