Administrative Officer (Specialist Streams) 2024

AOCS

Hi,

Just creating a thread for discussion of the ongoing competition for Administrative Officer 2024 positions and advertised for the following areas:

1. Human Resources

2. Business/Finance

3. Energy, Environment and Climate

4. Health Policy Analyst

Is there much applying for the HR stream and what way does OOM work after the aptitude test’s compared to the general AO competition?

I applied for energy and climate stream. I'm 77 oom and have no idea how many applied in this competition? I really hope I'll get the chance to interview.

I applied for the business and finance stream. I’m 186 OOM, trying to be hopeful I get to interview.

AOCS

My OOM is 72 in the HR stream. Trying to figure out whether that is low enough to get an interview. Hopefully so!

Does anyone have an idea if the volume that applied for this competition?

Hi, I was lucky enough to get called for a interview in HR stream, they all take pace next week as far as I'm aware!

AOCS

what was your OOM if you mind me asking ? Best of luck for the Interview. Was there much of a nudge as to what the Interview would be like (competencies and specialist questions)

goldenmushroom

I was 20 OOM. Presentation and then the basic competencies and HR specific questions, not sure what those will be. Thank you!

Anyone have any idea when we’ll hear the results of the interviews happening this week?

goldenmushroom

No idea really, I would assume under 2 weeks. I had mine today. What stream were you in? Hope you got on well!

AOCS

@goldenmushroom Any tips for the HR stream, how was the interview and what was the specialist questions like? Best of luck once the results come out !!

oscillation

I’m in the business and finance stream, I thought the interview was really intense, the questions are nonstop and theres not much time for general chat but the board members were lovely. Fingers crossed we’re not waiting too long for results now! How did you find your interview @goldenmushroom?

Any idea on when they will call next batch ? I am below 65 in the business and finance stream. Have holidays booked for June😂

oscillation

The first batch had about 2 and a half weeks to prepare so based on that I would guess it could be late May or early June but that’s absolutely just a guess!!m

@AOCS Honestly I thought it went well enough throughout, was definitely intense! The HR questions were literally just the final 5 mins, that was the toughest section for me (asked me about L&D trends, how HR makes and implements policies, biggest challenges facing HR). It's a bit of a blur so sorry I can't be of more help!

goldenmushroom

@oscillation I found it the same, quite intense but all kind panel members :) such a blur now! Yes, hopefully we aren't waiting too long. Best of luck, keep me posted
