Sound. Was looking at it earlier. Must register.

asd1 · 20-09-2018 10:31pm

Thanks Mike.
I'm doubting I'll qualify , I'll finish a level 9 in Management Practice in June ? Does this come under business do you think ?

There is an option to be consideration in September - December 2019 if you dont currently meet the criteria at the moment.

On the Level 9 question. Is it a Post-Grad Dip (60 Credits) or Masters (90 Credits)?

If its a masters it (should) be titled "Masters of Business in Management Practice"

I studied management myself (Level 8) but my qualification is styled "Higher Diploma in Business in Management"

asd1, Its the same criteria as for the EO in Tax, Audit and Compliance. Your eligibility was already checked surely?

Correction, the EO was a level 6 & the AO is a Level 8 qualification but the required fields of study are the same.

asd1 · 21-09-2018 8:17am

Mike,
I have a general degree in economics level 7 so eo sorted.
The level 9 is postgrad not masters? The registration process is new .The wording is important as we seem to be self-assessing which concerns me. Reckon I'll email to clarify .
Wrong thread here but have you interviewed yet for eo?

Theres no harm in giving them a email or call but I'd say you'd be alright.

I checked the application form and there doesn't seem to be an option for "business" so I'm going to email them myself to find out how that works.

No I didn't, I didn't make the first round interview group so it will be at least January before the next round are called.

asd1 · 21-09-2018 11:00am

It does say 'Business' ,so you should be ok. I'll clarify mine directly.

Yeah but when you go into the Application form it says:

"Q4. Please indicate which of the following panel(s) you wish to be considered for.

Taxation
Accounting
Law
Data Analytics/Statistics/Economics

*To apply you must have a minimum Level 8 on the National Framework of Qualifications specific to the area for which you are applying."

I am presuming the fourth category is like an 'others' option but its not very clear.

Anastasia_ · 21-09-2018 11:43am

I submitted the application form for this but didn't get a confirmation email and was just brought back to the 'Overview' page - is this normal?

I just did the application too and same, so I'm sure all fine. It has in the handbook that our email address will be used for any correspondence relating to the comp, so we might receive something at closing date when all applications in.

jw_sweetman · 22-09-2018 10:53am

Sent in an application a few days ago but haven't received an acknowledgement e-mail. Anyone else not get one?

asd1 · 22-09-2018 11:58am

It should be fine ,but if you dont receive a confirmation email by 18th October contact them then .

crebel81 · 26-09-2018 9:18pm

Hey folks.

I work as a tax consultant and im interested in applying for the role in Revenue.

I meet the requirements for having the minimum qualification.

Just wondering about salary. I haven't read the information booklet but am I correct in saying the entry level salary is in or around 31k or how does it work?

Thanks

engiweirdo · 26-09-2018 9:58pm

Hi there. I have applied for this but I have a 2.1 in Mech Engineering. Not sure if it would be valid though, its got heavy enough maths components but isnt strictly a maths degree.

Pandoras Twist · 01-10-2018 2:41pm

I just filled out the few questions on the website. There was no application form or anything or did I miss something? I'm assuming they'll send one out to you if you met their requirements?

If this competition is ran like the EO, they do unsupervised tests to get OOM.

Only people who are being called to interview will get the second application form. On the interview date, people will be selected at random for supervised re-test.

Mala1313 · 15-10-2018 11:03am

Has anyone done this tests before. Are they similar to the test on the public jobs? And just wondering does anyone know from last year competition how many people applied for this position?

In the EO - Tax, Audit and Compliance competition earlier this year they used Cut-e which is different to the PAS website one but i don't know if this will be the same... They did give you a link to practice beforehand tho.

In that it was verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning and a logical test (to see if you can identify trends and patterns).

engiweirdo · 17-10-2018 10:21am

Email there about test for this. To be completed by next Tuesday.

Anastasia_ · 21-10-2018 1:20pm

Has anyone done them? Just did the ones for Public Jobs AO and thought the numerical was awful so have seriously knocked confidence for this.. Are they as bad?

I thought they were a good bit more user friendly than the general CS tests anyway. About a similar level of difficulty. 12 mins for each section. Got 30/37 numerical completed and 41/49 verbal reasoning. The other bit is an email/messenger conversation simulation, which was interesting if nothing else. They used the same software/provider "cut e"as the ESB Engineering grad programme and the Revenue one was a little step down from that I found.So you could maybe apply for that for a trial run at the test even if you are not qualified for it. Hope this helps.
