It seems the hse move very slowly. The grade 3 panel will be in place a year in November. Wonder will they extend it for another year seeing as only about 8 jobs were advertised. What a waste of time.

That's Kerry for you. There's just not that many jobs here. It took me two years to get the call for the clerical officer position.

You're send in your application form? Just sent mine in there

Hi HDonal...yes sent in application today. Rushed it a bit as I left it till last minute. My competencies were not great. I will be surprised if I get called for interview. Do you know if many have applied for this competition. Will you take this if it comes up for you? The money is a bit better than grade 3 at least. I hope it moves a bit faster than grade 3.

If it's any help, my competencies weren't great either. They were copied from another form at the last minute and they didn't even really match the questions! I got through to interview stage in both Dublin North and South, so I wouldn't worry too much about that part.

Oh that's good to know. I'll be hoping to hear back from them but it's so slow. Have you been placed as of yet?

No, have heard nothing since the results came out. I don't know how many they offer the Expressions of Interest to. Hopefully something will be offered soon. Best of luck with your application.

The North Dublin interviews were the week of 25th June (think they did some the following week too) and no update as yet! Supposed to be within 10 working days and then got an email to say it would be 2 weeks (I think) after that and then another email on 30th July to say no update!! Frustrating!

Rumor has it that there is a challenge to the Dublin North process from people who were excluded from interview...

No reply received as yet from HBS office to Colleague's enquiry now over a week old. I wonder if we'll be waiting until September?

Hi there
Has anyone received any notifications of positions available for this competition?
The letter received said 3/8 but I haven't received any notification yet?

Hi tigger. I take it you’re Dublin South. I haven’t received any notifications yet but am not sure how many people on the panel they offer it to. Does anyone know? Am I right in saying the Leitrim panel is the only one that has been offered anything?

Thanks - yes I'm Dublin South.

becmar1989 · 15-08-2018 8:23am

I am also Dublin south (panel number 15) and have not heard anything as of yet. I have emailed HBS recruit and have heard nothing and I have also asked my line manager to check this out. Hmmmm

It is strange.... I heard initially that the board would be moving quickly - but it is what it is.

I suppose we just have to wait until a posting/position becomes available and then just hope it suits!

stargazer 68 · 16-08-2018 4:30pm

North Dublin results posted today! Should receive them tomorrow..good luck folks

Braids · 16-08-2018 4:57pm

Good luck to ALL!

Cool.... good luck to you allðŸ€—

Braids · 16-08-2018 7:13pm

By the way, thanks to all of you for posting, keeping our spirits up and no matter what the outcome - we are ALL winners!

becmar1989 · 17-08-2018 8:41am

Good luck Dublin northers!

eimaj18 · 17-08-2018 9:59am

I didn't get Dublin North. :-( However, the competency scores varied widely from my Dublin South scores! A difference of 50 in most of them! How can the same person, interviewing for the same job have such a difference in scores!

(FYI - I got a small envelope - A5 and I failed; whereas for Dublin South I got a large interview - A4 and passed. Don't know if that helps anyone!)

KtodaT · 17-08-2018 10:29am

Got 36 in one Competency

Passed all the rest.
Raging doesn't even come close.

Oh no! That happened me loads of times for HEO and EO. Gah, so frustrating, sorry to hear that. Could you appeal or ask for a recheck?

I don't think there's any point

Also I have my EO interview on Monday so now my confidence is bloody shot!! Worst.Timing.Ever.

They’re very different interviews so think of it like that. You only missed one competency by 4 Marks, everything else you did good in. Think of the positives. You’ll do great! Don’t let it knock you.

Alonso77 · 17-08-2018 10:49am

Was there ever any movement at all for Limerick in this comp?

I hope so. I've never done the EO one before but am deffo going to change my example from the competency I failed!

Do you think the EO interview is easier? I found those Grade IV ones extremely intense, like they were trying to catch me out.

They are still working up the internal panel for Limerick.... an expression of interest for grade 4 was sent out last week and filled on Monday ....

I'm still waiting to be called for external interview and I'm top 80 percentile, can't see it happening anytime soon ...

Did you get the application form? I'm in the 90's percentile and never received any form or notification. The last corr I got was in May about no further update.

No post arrived today so I am left waiting. Appreciate the knowledge of how its been received. The interview queries relating to the no's of CHO's in existence, names of Health Boards etc etc left me surprised as these have no direct impact on the local responsibilities we have(especially as a week after it was announced CHO's were being phased out)...

farmgirl1 · 17-08-2018 9:55pm

I am very surprised I got on the panel for North Dublin I came out of the interview thinking I had flunked it very badly however i am 137 on the panel so a position may never come up!
Still just happy I passed it and got feed back.

stargazer 68 · 18-08-2018 2:28pm

Anyone know how many were interviewed for north dublin?

Dublintigger · 18-08-2018 5:33pm

Yes we are!!

I think that's great. Don't discount the odds; there will be quite a few jobs forthcoming with new Children's Hospital and amongst other hospitals/community. Good to know also re A4 & A5 envelopes. I hate having to wait until Monday pm to know...

I didn't realise that about Hospitals - I would love to get in to the new children's hospital...... perfect location for me! But guessing it is a plum job and jobs in there will go quickly

Thanks hopefully your right! Also my results were in A4 envelope. Best of luck for Monday it's awful having to wait the weekend.

Braids · 18-08-2018 8:36pm

There's the new Children's Hospital in Dublin 2(?) and then the smaller one that's under construction now just in front of Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown D15. The Connolly Station to Maynooth train line runs to Castleknock (Luas to Broombridge and change to train) and it's a 'six block' walk from there, also the number 39 bus line runs to Blanchardstown Village and then its a two block equivalent walk. One caution - friends tell me no staff car parking has been provided for the Children's hospital staff - so the present shortage for Connolly staff will increase for all.

Hi, can anyone from Dublin North tell me when the panel is due to go live? Still waiting on job offers from Dublin south

it said it was to go live on 03/08/18 but haven't heard anything since! I would have assumed at least one job would have came through by now so am wondering if there was a delay! Possible there is no jobs yet but I cant imagine that to be the case!
