Can only wait and see.

It'd say once these last batch 16pfs are finished tomorrow or Monday, they'll let us know when the next medicals are, followed by interviews of those who already passed their medicals, keep the stream of recruits coming from medicals straight into the interviews. May not happen beginning of March for all, but someone said there are 14 internal staff waiting to go ahead with training. they could always start with them, and as you said, next class could start summertime. I'll try find out more info tomorrow from the HR team.

I'm back in tomorrow as well, will be asking the same.

I'm not sure about the 14internal staff thing. There was an internal staff member in my assessment session last week. Why would he be in the assessment if they've already selected internal staff to start training. Seems a bit odd you'd select some and have others do the assessment along with external candidates....

Has anyone from Galway gotten past stage 2?

Very strange that no one I’ve spoken to or on here with Galway as their depot has even heard back from IE since stage 2 online assessments.

I got email for 4-6wks on the 26th Jan. Applied for Galway

26000 people applied, I'd be fairly certain they aren't all on this thread so how do we know it didn't happen?

Maybe because users on here would be quite representative of over all applicants and therefore at least some should have received the “maybe next time “ email .

Some did, the night before. So I maintain, nobody can be certain it didn't happen. It may not have but we don't know for certain. We've got maybe 20 -30 active posters in this thread and some of those already work for the company. Not really representative of anything really.

I never got the 4-6 week email. I applied for Limerick and felt quite confident after online phase 2. Not being cocky just thought it went well if you know what I mean.

I never received any email after completing phase 2 online test. Just wondering if anyone else received a confirmation email after completing that phase.

FYI I know of 4 applicants who received rejection emails after online phase 1. And I know one other applicant who did receive 4 to 6 week email after online phase 2 who also applied for Limerick.

In the same boat, completed phase 2, no email where as my brother in law completed phase 2 and got the 4-6 week mail.

both applied for galway..............very odd

Just got an email there. Haven’t heard anything since completing stage 2 at home tests. Saying they have progressed with stronger applications and my application will be kept on file.

I really think your attempt at the SCAAT wasn't great. Selecting random letters will put you at a minus score. It doesn't matter how far you get if almost all the answers are wrong.

Willie Stroker 1976 wrote: »

Just finished stage two testing. After the first part of The Scaat section, I just selected random letters for part 2 and 3. Only way to get it all done as didn’t even get halfway through the first bunch of letters.

I'm just curious,
To those who done phase 2 tests and never recieved a follow up email or the 4-6 weeks email
Did you do the test on your phone or pc??

I done mine on tablet and have the 4-6 week email for dublin.

Strange,,

If your on linkedin
OPC have a profile and you could forward them an email just to clarify if they recieved your assessment

mario84s · 15-02-2019 08:58PM

talked to one of the girls in the HR, she basically told us if we didn't hear it from HR, then take it with a pinch of salt. Whoever didn't get to do the 16pf questions, may as well not go on, as the interview is going to be based on the answers you provide from this as well as the written section in Phase 2. Interviews are next, starting on 21st, followed by medicals as that is the way it is supposed to have happened. Some have had medicals already. Training was supposed to start on Monday gone, but IR postponed it. Training is 26 weeks give or take, pending on what train you're training on, diesel or electric. that's as much as I managed to get, too many people asking various questions.

Heard last week out of the 26000 that applied it’s now down to 240 not sure how true it is but came from a lad who would have an ear in important places😂😂

Ais123 · 17-02-2019 07:36AM

Does anyone know if they’re filling all the 100 places with this recruitment drive and then phasing them in over the next four years or is there a recruitment drive every year for the next four?

Has anyone who received short notice medical appointments email on the 6th Feb and couldn't go, heard anything since about being booked in for medicals?

CiboC · 19-02-2019 12:20PM

I am in the same boat, I got that email and the one 10 minutes later saying 'all the slots were taken, in touch again soon'.

I've heard nothing since, although from posts above it would appear that the schedule should be interview next followed by medical....

Fingers crossed, every time I get a new email my heart skips a beat... (not literally, my heart is fine for the medical....:))

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime · 19-02-2019 01:26PM

Well done on getting the interview email. Been over two weeks since I did the medical and passed but haven't heard a thing since.

Not really sure what to think but i think I'll wait this week out and see if anything comes.

Ais123 · 19-02-2019 01:30PM

Was there an interview email sent out?

They appear to have deleted it. But I saw it too.

I also haven't heard anything since the short notice medical emails after the phase 2 assessments.
