I'm Dublin, email at 3.56

I wouldn't worry to much about whether your called this week or in 4 weeks.

When the interviews are held, or more importantly the training is what matters. Thousands of people won't fit into the assessment centre at the one time they had to structure it some how.

Likely, more will be cut from the new assessments and others on the panel will be brought forward.

This is a long game, even for those that will be employed first are a long way out from starting

Received an email this afternoon informing me that they will be in touch. I requested Dublin. Wait and see

Did anyone who attended Inchicore on thursday or friday (24th and 25th jan) get an email yet regarding phase two for next week?

I've heard nothing back from them at all, guess that means I bombed out on the tests then ??

Same

Dublin for me. Would have been nice to even get a rejection to put me out of my misery.

Didn't even get a reply to see where I'd want to apply to.

Did the three online tests, then nothing........not even an email to say yay or nay...:(:(

I could be mistaken but I thought I was asked where I wanted to apply for in the application phase before I ever started the online tests.

I haven't received anything yet either..surely they'd send a rejection email if you weren't successful at this stage. Or at least hoping they let us know either way.

Ah right, could have done, it just seems so long ago........maybe an age thing........not really IR if you're looking ...;);)

Don't worry, the assessments will suss that out quick enough.

I would also point out .... And I don't mean this in a bad way towards anyone or the likes but from what I seen there are a small few people applying for this job that are wasting time.

Seen a few admit they have medical issues that would rule them out and also a few obese people that won't be able to pass a medical. (BMI + stress test on thread mill etc)

Not to mention urine test, ECG , medical history checked etc.

they actually check the BMI at this medical???

Course they do.

They did all the above at nearly all bus driver medicals

The train medical is much stricter and tougher than the bus one.

So if you have things like diabetes , heart issues etc you could be well out of the running

And if you're just fat???

I know plenty of people that went for jobs with Dublin bus and bus eireann that were told to go lose a couple of stone in weight and try again

Do they do a fitness vo2max test

Don't think they quite do that

But they do hook up the wires and pads to you and make you run on the threadmill but it's a stress test their doing more so
