    I did my sergeant interview there last week, so just waiting on the call from the super now but I'd say that will be another 2/3 weeks away.

    Okay not so bad? Ive heard these two meetings/interviews arent bad and are ok? What did they go through with you? And was it just the sergeant?

    Hi all.... interview lasted about 20/25 mins.... It's all about you and why you want to join...alot less formal then first interview..... focused on what you have given to the community...

    Hey lads & ladies,

    I had my written & interview for the reserves on Saturday 26th, it couldn't have went better. I received an email on the Tuesday to say I had passed both so I am chuffed. The next part of the process is to meet with the local superintendent or inspector. Does anyone know how long it takes for the PAS to contact you from the confirmation of passing ? Thanks Will

    Anywhere from 1 to 4 months ..Difficult to say ..In my case I got a visit from the local Sgt at 11pm ....They may want to see where you live and if given the chance to meet the family .....The interview with the Supt is a casual chat but do turn up dressed well . Be prepared to discuss anything from general news to specific Garda issues . Alway be positive about whatever you are asked . Rememeber the Supt may be thinking "how well would this person fit into my station , working with my units " Dont be lulled into a false sense of security by the casual nature of the conversation , you are been evaluated for your suitability ..

    I'll be screwed for that. Not a chance of getting that many weekends off. I work 5 days and 3 days off each week. Two weeks would have worked perfect.

    I passed my interview for the Garda reserves and the last correspondence was sending info left out of the BR form on the 4th of July. I haven't heard anything since. Has anybody else waited this long? is there an email I can enquire about it? thank you :)
    I assume you sent it back to HRM I have not heard anything since May also there is a full time campaign going on at the moment so reserves will be the last on the list.
