The last time seemed more basic stuck to examples. questions alot more detailed this time. Both panels were tough i believe. Mine included an external HR individual, like a dofg with a bone.

Maybe she was trying her best to get you to answer all the question to give you the best possible chance? Maybe I'm clutching at straws. You've done it once that will have stood to you.

External HR individual, with a substantial chunk of his career spent in Revenue...

I think I had this person.

Best of luck to those still waiting and hopefully the results won't take too long to come out.

If anyone have a pdf of the info booklet, could they PM me. The link to it isn’t working anymore

Don’t take it personally, I’m hearing the same reports of “rough treatment” from anyone who had that interview board, so at least they’re treating everyone consistently...!

I didn't say anything about rough treatment just that I think I had the external HR person. How did you find it barney? Any guesses on when we will hear?

I’m not in it, I have friends & staff who did it. You’ll hear before the end of the month, surely. The panel will be finalised very quickly after interviews conclude, it’s just a question of how soon the staff in CSD (given the time of year and number of competitions running etc) get around to sending out the results...

Oh my mistake barney. Thanks. Fingers crossed for your friends and staff.

I found it tough. The board gave nothing away. Also found that they asked very specific questions, and a lot of my planning about what to say went out the window. Not a good sign!!!

Yeah that was very tough I found. Definitely left with the impression I wasn't good enough.

I felt the same about the way they asked the questions. My prepared answers didn't quite fit and I was trying to bring in bits and pieces everywhere.

I found it tough but fair. They were very engaging throughout.

I think I struggled interpreting the questions on occasion. Your mind goes blank and it's hard to think under pressure. They didnt really focus on my form as much as other interviews would have. Very general questions about experience and 'what would you do if...' scenarios.

So yes EVERYTHING I prepared went out the window. Completely different to last year.

I'm thinking it was tougher than last year but I cant remember much. I felt happier last year. And if I failed it, its cos of leadership right off the bat.

Relieved it is over!!

nazzy

Tick tock tick tock. Every day is torture!!!

I'm sure it'll be soon but just would like the wait to end. I'd say they are flat out with a few panels going!

Disappointed with that. 20 years working in big practice looking after merges and not making the panel.

You couldn't spell mergers let alone deal with them.

You obviously missed the tongue in cheek aspect of my comment since you actually spelled 'mergers' wrong. ðŸ€£ðŸ™ŠðŸ™ŠðŸ™Š

If you are very anxious to know you should call Corporate Services Division. They could possibly tell you when we might hear.

I am not anxious to know I would just like to know is all

I don't think contacting them is going to hurry it along. In fairness I think this campaign has actually moved relatively quickly. I applied for another role around the same time and it hasn't even been shortlisted yet.

Ok, well your recent posts give a different impression. It certainly wouldn't hurry it along but they may tell you when you could expect to hear. Just a suggestion is all. Best of luck in the other competition.

Is that national panel they are giving results for, or does it refer to regional placings I wonder....PAS tend to do the regional panels now

Emma2019

How many roles are tgere in Audit and compliance does anyone know? I'm thinking my panel placing is too far down the list to actually mean a job

AM2019

I was wondering the same. I emailed to ask and was informed it gets passed to assignments section who will be in touch as vacancies arise so its just a waiting game now.

paydembills

I got through on both Tax and Audit panels. Delighted. Congrats to everyone who did and commiserations to those who didn't. There will always be another competition.
