    does anyone who scored highly on the initial assessment have any advice on doing the SJT portion? Always seems to hard to gauge the right way to answer

    Question for anyone that secured a job from this campaign… what are your WFH options in the new role?



  • Registered Users Posts: 36 rachel867


    @Phantasos none at the moment hopefully 1 day by the end of the year

    I’m in the office 5 days a week, but I think that’s not the norm.

    I only started in the council yesterday, I was on a permanent panel but they offered me temporary job offer but it wouldn't effect my permanent position in the panel (as i was number 1 to get next permanent contract) so I accepted it. Received my contract at the start of the week I originally thought it be 1 year temporary contract and through the next few weeks or months or 1 year they would eventually offer me the permanent contract. This is what it said in the contract: "Commencement Your employment as temporary Clerical Officer with … County Council commences on 28th June 2024 and will cease on 27th June 2026, both dates inclusive. This is a fixed term contract of employment and therefore the provisions of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977-1993, will not apply to the termination of this contract where such termination is by reason only of the expiry of this fixed term".

    But after few hours of starting HR called and asked me to go up to them and I was wondering why.

    They spoke to me and told me that I would have been offered a permanent contract in the next few weeks but they spoke to their supervisor and they both agreed to give me the permanent contract so they had to scrap the old temporary one and give me the new permanent contract!

    DSP in a customer facing position have 1 year in the office FT before any WFH options may even come about. This was for a main Intero office in the south east. Easy see why these positions are hard to fill now on mobility at present. Many rather a one day per week commute (4 days WFH) with otter departments than a 5 day office week with the DSP.

    Are the aptitude tests online more difficult than the ones in real life? I've done the practice tests and performed very badly on them. I scraped a bare pass on verbal and mathematical reasoning and failed the categorising information and error checking ones. I tried the error checking one a few times with only an incremental increase in the score. I have a PhD
    (in arts and humanities) and an MSc but have always done terribly on aptitude tests. Are the actual tests like these and does it require a more rational, facts and figures type mind to pass them?

    Hi, I have an interview this week for Louth, can anyone please tell me what type of questions they will ask?



  • Registered Users Posts: 37 Maripepe

  • Registered Users Posts: 11 Justask123

  • Registered Users Posts: 6 duffyfluffy

    Hi folks,

    I applied for "Temporary Clerical Officer in the Civil and Public Service 2023 Nationwide" campaign in October 2023 for Cork and only interviewed for it last Friday. Notified today that I passed the Stage 2 interview. Have my OOM. Has anybody else applied and interviewed recently for Cork? If so, can you share any information for what potential department it could be? Thanks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,257 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    You should typically get a contract 2-3 weeks before starting. They've also very reluctant to provide specific details of role/section you'll be in until you've actually started.

    Most people I know only found out the day they started.



  • Registered Users Posts: 354 ✭✭Wonderstruck


    Anyone could tell me how long they went between being assigned and being contacted by local HR of the dept they went to? My friend is waiting weeks, I asked my new starter CO colleagues in my own dept and they were all contacted in under a week. Unprofessional HR units…..

    Hi everyone,

    Here’s my timeline: Last year, I did an online test and on the 10th of November, I got the result that I am between 40th and 50th on the Order of Merit for Kildare County Council (I’m not sharing the exact number just in case). After that, on the 16th, I chose the areas where I’d like to work, and then I heard nothing for a while.

    On the 11th of this month, I had a Zoom interview, followed by an email saying that I passed that stage. I’ve now completed the Garda vetting process, and it’s currently being processed.

    Does anyone have any idea, based on my OOM in Kildare Co Co, how long it might take until I start working? I’m eager to get started as soon as possible!

    I applied directly to the county council I had my interview 29th may, results 17th June. Results between 30 and 40.... I know 12 people have been hired to date, so I'm hoping by march....ish I'll get an offer if they keep hiring at the same pace..... I didn't have to choose locations ....or get vetted yet tho

    Hey 👋

    I am starting in revenue tomorrow through transfer. I'm just wondering if anyone recently started in revenue and if so what was the training like? I was told I will be working from home, what do they provide you with to work from home?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭claregal1


    What county? WFH is 4 days a week once training is completed depending on what section you are in. If PAYE it's 6 mths training in house AFAIK



  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭Bailey25


    Kildare Service to Support Compliance, Self-Assessment. I have already been told I will be doing the training at home and one day in the office. Just wondering what equipment do they provide to work from home?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭claregal1


    Hey, I got PC monitor, work mobile and office chair. I didn't need a desk.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11 LindyA
