I'm in at 3. The hanging around is killing me.

Kablamo! · 20-02-2018 03:12PM

I was in at eleven. Glad to have it out of the way now.

Cedric87 · 20-02-2018 04:00PM

Well that was great fun, results at the end of march seems a bit of a stretch.

Same as that... on the practice tests I'm getting all 8 done with 50/55 seconds left.But they are a lot shorter than the real test!

Does anyone know do you have to bring a printed copy of invite to stage 2? I'm sure I read a screen shot is ok but I can't find where it's written to confirm that. Thanks

Waggamamma · 21-02-2018 09:31AM

I thought so. Thanks. Good luck with it! I'm not up until tomorrow but feeling a bit anxious today.

Hi, where are you all doing the practice tests for the call handling? i can only do it once and it says exercise complete? if someone could help me out that would be great in on Friday!

March is a very long stretch to waiting to hear and then interviews if were lucky.

Did you copy and paste the link because when I click on the link it's inactive.

I clicked link initially and got 18 seconds worth. Copied link and it said exercise completed.

Is that the link from the administration booklet or the separate email from PAS?

From booklet and was directed to log on to typing test via email confirmation sent by PAS if that makes sense.

Check your emails separately... not from the booklet.if you search your emails from PAS... all capital letters it should help.it might say "exercise is completed " but click run exercise anyway and it will work.

I don't know... I'd say the qualifying score is the same.well I have to try and move all the way up the rankings tomorrow because I just scraped through.Hopefully there will be a few that won't bother going up to Dublin for stage 2!

Shopassistant · 21-02-2018 08:51PM

I'm just wondering if there's any point for me going up to Dublin for Stage 2? I'm in the top 130 for my chosen areas but feel I'm too far down the list to eventually end up in the job. Have many people attended the Assessment Centre?

You might improve your oom after stage 2.
How interested are you in the job? I desperately want it but am not convinced I will get placed being in top 50 in my area but I'm going to give it a shot.
I have been told of a few people who are not going to continue despite invitation to stage 2 so you never know.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Are you are also scored on interview? If we make it that far we could come out with much better scores. Fingers crossed !
