Hse/Tulsa clerical officer competition 2017

E-mails went out for Clare yesterday too. Mine also said percentile 1 which, as mentioned above, I think means the lowest score possible? When I did my exam I was in the 98th percentile. My aunt did the exam the same time as me and scored lower, so I'll ask her when I'm talking to her next if she got an e-mail about it.

snughums0611 · 15-11-2017 03:22PM

Just got an email about interviews for Limerick, week commencing 11th December.

Liz39 · 15-11-2017 06:19PM

I came 47th on cork panel, not sure how many jobs there are though or how long until they start doing expression of interest. Surprised results are out so fast

Nooks · 15-11-2017 09:22PM

I have Mayo down as one of my regions but haven't heard anything today. Anyone else in the same boat?

From those I have spoken to you are not the only one, seems that people who scored high have not got tge e- mail yet.

TheJet · 16-11-2017 12:13AM

I placed in the 100's for Cork - i was nervous for the entire interview and it definitely showed - I wish I had done better. I will have another interview next month in Limerick so hopefully I can make improvements and get better placed on that panel. Does anyone know how long the panel is for - I presume it's 2 years?

I've gotten email now think it may just have been sync problem with my email, thanks for the reply!

Pamelabeasley · 16-11-2017 02:43AM

Anyone gone out for the part time position in Sligo here? If so where are you placed on the panel if you don't mind me asking?

Soulsun · 16-11-2017 06:57AM

Can anyone advise how long you will be placed on the panel for?

I think 12 to 18 months typically

And would it be an issue if a person moved jobs while in the panel?

From percentile 1? Is that not the lowest score you could get? Ah this is so confusing

Yes I think it must be all candidates for Mayo...???

amberley1004 · 16-11-2017 05:52PM

what does the medical consist of for clerical officer

fin12 · 16-11-2017 11:19PM

Hi can someone answer this please, if someone is working in the HSE, are they working in the public or civil service?

Mina12345 · 17-11-2017 10:27AM

Hi , I have my interview Monday. I'm very nervous about it. Any tips would be very much appreciated :-)! Do I need to know about HSE? Company structure, annual report etc

I wasn't asked anything about the hse so I'd say you'll be fine that end. Just go over everything you put on your application about the competencies / skills, and if possible have more prepared!!
I was very nervous too but when I got in there it was fine as I'd learned everything off!! They seemed to really like that I gave them another example too.

Best of luck with your interview!

Just as an update, I spoke to my aunt earlier this evening and she did indeed also get an email about the application form, and she scored much lower than me, so it seems they're just inviting...everyone. I wonder what was the point of the online test then? When I did this for the county council I was told that the psychometric test wouldn't have any bearing on whether you get the job or not, only the interviews, but the psychometric test was to dictate who would even get an interview in the first place.

Perhaps the jobs are gone already in some cases and the "temp" candidates currently sitting in positions didn't score high enough so just they just called the entire panel and hire them that anyway, This wouldn't happen with PAS run competition.

Hi,
I sent back my CBA form back on 10/11 for the Kildare/Wicklow region. Just curious how long after people were notified if they were progressing to interview? Interview will be in February as per email.

Echofall · 20-11-2017 03:22AM

I'm currently working as a graduate in local authority on a salary of 29,244 . I'm on that point for over 2 years . If I take up a clerical position in HSE, anyone any idea what point I'd start on the CO scale? As I'm working in common recruitment pool surely I wouldn't be classed as a new entrant?.

colfah · 20-11-2017 10:33AM

Is there any movement on limerick or Galway areas

elle.hayes · 20-11-2017 12:24PM

hi I'm just wondering if anyone would have any insight into the difference between the clerical officer role in HSE and council. I currently am working in council but not in my 1st choice location and have recieved application form from HBS for a role with HSE in my 1st choice location. So i'm trying to decide if it is worth the move over as I currently work Monday to Friday flexi hours but I see in job spec for HSE it can include weekends and up to 8 at night so not sure the grass is greener. any advice or personal experience from anyone in HSE clerical officer role would be greatly appreciated

I doubt you would be on the same scale, even the entry salary for these positions is lower than the local authorities.
