    Makes you wonder why we're all dragged through this purgatorialy slow process if they barely do any interviews/appointments at the end of the day :confused:

    How u get ok with interview? I got email there with rankings. I assume it’s a nationwide ranking?

    Is there something about having to have someone with fluent Irish in each office?

    I’m not sure if it’s every office or location ? They do want 20% overall with irish.

    I wonder how many applied for the roles?

    It is my belief that circa 150 were in the telephone interview stage. I wonder will the interviews be demand lead for locations?

    Did u do interview? How u get on?

    I would assume but who knows that oom 1 who is from Dublin won’t be offered a job in Kerry?

    But stage 2 will be much tougher as well.

    If it was demand lead by location only the people who requested Kerry would be interviewed?
    I think they have no idea how may vacancies will be or where so its very difficult to predict anything.

    Have those who did the Irish phone interview last week applied for the Irish stream of the EO comp 2019 or for the specific Irish EO position which only kicked off at the end of 2019? I'm wondering if they have merged the two? I only applied for the EO Irish position in December 2019 and ranked 62 in OOM.

    I think the EO irish is totally different to Oifigeach Feidhmiuchan le gaelige liofa.

    We aren’t posting about anything apart from the same EO 2019 thing. So calm down please.

    It’s amazing how negative people get toward the irish language.

    If everyone spoke a bit of irish then there wouldn’t be the need to create this irish part of the EO 2019

    No one is against the Irish language. It’s annoying that the thread is being spammed by basic Irish in response to a legitimate suggestion by Alan. I say basic because it clearly is and if you were any better at it you might have placed higher.

    People who are looking for information on stage two and three will have to scroll through 141 pages of information and you’ve added nothing to that except make it longer.

    It’s your aggressive and rude response to a reasonable request that’s the issue here.

    Mod:
    Since some people may have forgotten this let us be perfectly clear here:
    No freedom of speech.
    This is a private website. There is no "right" to freedom of speech here.     We, the Admins, and the Moderators DO want to promote discussion, but FREE un-moderated discussion online turns into a screaming match between children. We believe that rules of etiquette should be applied (see below). Shouting about how we have infringed your "freedom of speech" on a privately owned website is silly. You can use blogger.com to say what YOU like, what you aren’t entitled to is access to the community we have built here without abiding by the community's rules, as decided and enforced by us.
    What that means is you're free to post in Irish as long as you have a full English translation to go with it in this or any other forum on boards with one exception which is surprise surprise the Gaeilge forum.

    Now let's return to the topic at hand and any more discussion on this will be followed by further bans as discussing of mod decisions is not something done on thread but via PM.

    For stage 2 documentation....

    Must I include my previous employer and current employer.

    Been with current employer for 10 years since 2009.
    Also with exam results on my application is it through universities for those?

    At interview I brought my official degrees from university and a copy of them. If you don’t have your official degree parchment that you received on graduating you can ring up your university and give them your student number and they’ll post you out an official copy of your transcripts for free. I would imagine that should suffice too.

    For the reference, I think they contact your current employer for reference when you have been offered a position.

    Hi there.

    I know I’ll probably get blocked again. But I need some answers if possible as it does relate to the English EO and the Irish EO.

    Stage 2 for irish EO is examinataion in the morning for me. And an interview in the pm. So Ive tests at 1030 and interview at 2-30 or so.

    What should I be wearing to exam and to interview?

    Smart casual is a good approach as you can add or subtract layers as appropriate. I remember being really hot in interview and then really cold for written exams previously and was sorry I hadn't brought a jumper or scarf to throw around me. Thanks for alerting me to PAS change of address Outta, that hadn't registered with me. It's possible the building work going on at new premises could produce similar environment

    Coming from a business background I find it impossible to not wear a full suit and tie etc for interview. Wud this be over dressed?

    If you are a guy and you already have a suit you should definitely wear it to the interview.
