Garda Recruitment Stage 3 (2018 Campaign)

Carles Puyol

New thread for the interview.

Officially booked in for 3 weeks time.

How will ye all prepare? I think now is the time to get onto any guards ye know, especially recently recruited ones.
Will there be a career services course? I'm not too sure how they could prepare that many people for something so individualised, and I'm not too sure it would be a good idea taking it if there was one.

Have to say I'm getting excited now. If we get through this, the medical & fitness surely won't be long after, and if your vetting gets done in a reasonable time there's every chance we could be all signed off for the 2nd quarter of next year, as was promised! Definitely optimistic, but even to be signed off by the July intake would be amazing.

Are you talking about the BR form here?

Is the BR form something we hand in prior to starting in Templemore? If spouses of cousins information is required, this just added a whole other level of complexity. I've never met most of my cousin's spouses or my cousins and wouldn't even know their names. Oh well, I suppose this is our first taste of playing detective (with our own family tree!

No the BR form is the back round form you hand into the PAS office the day of your interview in chapter house. The reason I asked is that what they were talking about is because you don't have to have cousins or aunts/uncles by marriage on it.
Only the sisters and brothers of your mother and father. And your grandparents.
Unless it has changed since the '17 campaign.

Best of luck lad. Just out of curiosity was it 2 weeks after stage 2 that you received the call for stage 3? Thanks

Best of luck for Thurs. I was chatting to a fella who is just out of probation. He said that even though it says 45 mins for interview, that's the absolute max amount of time you'll be in there, more likely less and that for him it was all about the competencies. So if you have strong competencies and know them inside out, you should be laughing.

Hi,

Is there anyone in the first 137 that has received the competencies that could send them on? I've heard the interview is pass/fail if you meet the minimum so we're not competing anymore like Stage 1/2! If anyone could end them on in PM to me that would be greatly appreciated, would like to prepare early if I can.

Thanks.

Really? I need to prepare them but not really sure as such what they are looking for. I’m not great with interviews as most I’ve ever had has been more like a chat.

The way they are moving this campaign so fast , I wouldn’t be surprised if you were called around Oct/Nov to be honest but I really don’t know.

Can anyone who has done the interview give some general feedback?

Anyone have an idea how long we will be waiting to know if we get through to stage 4?

Anyone else get an interview for October? When do we get out competencies?

Hello,

Wondering if anyone had their interview yet? And what questions did they ask, based on the competencies.

Thanks in advance, mine is next week.

Had my interview today. Went fine, it's more like a conversation about your experiences to date and the 5 competencies. Just know them and you'll do grand!

Nope, just 5. Listed out in the familiarisation material for stage 3.

Would you be able to PM us those 5? If we haven't got a date yet we don't get them yet. Would be nice to know for those of us higher in the OOM numbers.

I have my date for interview but can’t find the familiarisation material is it the papers given to us at stage 2 or via email? Cheers

No there aren't. Some of the comptencies changed in 2016. That's why the link someone posted lists eight. It includes the old competencies from 2014.

Hey folks, I've my interview next month and keen to get everything in order for it. I called PAS today to enquire about form B,? I was told it's in my invitation for an interview message on the website but can't see it? Any suggestions?

Yeah, I'm the same boat as you. Don't seem to have form B on the invitation

They are the exact same as the ones in the link that i posted apart from problem solving (which would come under judgment and decision making anyway) and serving the public. And to be honest, you would probably want examples for them anyway. Hope that helps.

If the link to Form B is not in your invitation (the word Form B is the link) or if you didn't get a separate email with a link to Form B then you'll just have to get back on to PAS and maybe send them a screen shot of your PAS inbox and your invitation/notification/Form B link emails. Same deal with the interview familiarisation materials. The word familiarisation is the link.
