Public service interview

treacy8781

Hey wondering if anyone can provide any advice / input - I went for an interview for a EO public service role on 7th March. I did blank through the interview so I don’t think it went that well but nevertheless the panel said I should hear by the end of the following week which would have been 14th March.

I haven’t heard anything either way and I followed up a couple of days ago and haven’t had a response. Was I that bad that they feel like they don’t need to tell me I didn’t make the panel? I thought with public service they have to let you know either way

Anything to do with civil or public service interviews requires great patience.

yeah true but I thought since they gave me the deadline I would hear by then. I’ve gone for a couple of Eo other roles and have always heard back by the following week!

Did you just email them. Try ringing instead.

They can be slow, very slow. No harm in following up.

update: I came 6th on the panel where 4 roles were available. Does this sound like a generic response they would have sent everyone on the panel:

A panel for the position has been established and I am delighted to confirm that you have been placed Number 6 on the panel.

You will be appointed if an Executive Office position becomes available.

Congratulations on your success. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I feel like this sounds like they think I will get a job or am I delusional? My other rejections have been much more direct like if a job comes up we will be in contact with you.

If 2 people ahead of you turn down a job you should receive an offer.
