Hopefully. Between all the different comps it's been a busy few weeks here. ;

Looks like I was wrong. Video assessment to be completed by the 8th June

Hate video interviews

Dublinboard · 30-05-2020 1:39pm

Are people going to use the same examples for the online videos that are our applications, or should we make new examples?

Do you think, if successful at this stage, we will just have one final interview? Doesn’t really make sense then to use same examples for both stages?

This is a very tricky one, like what do you think is there any point in using the video interview to just restate what was on your form?

Yeah I would imagine it would be straight to final interview after these video interviews, unless of course there is also another stage to do the tests again under supervised conditions.

What did you end up doing? New examples or form examples? My form for AP open uses the best examples i have of competencies so I would want to use them.

I haven't but I think it will be quite a while yet. Last year it was I think 4 weeks from submitting video assessment to email of results.
There is also an ao comp running and they were submitted two weeks before ap and the results haven't issued for that yet.

Has any one heard anything since on results being issued? I emailed the other day but heard nothing back. Thanks

Nothing.

Though the AO comp got word yesterday and their video interview was due on 25th May. We were 8th June so 2 weeks behind that. Could be waiting a while yet!

BMHOPE · 08-07-2020 2:17pm

The last panel is up the end of this month, so unless it's extended you might not have too long to wait. Last year as far as I remember the panel started on the day the interview results were issued. I don't know how much movement there was from this panel overall, the year before there was a lot of movement. There is only two weeks left on the current panel.

The 2020 panel has been extended. I've no detail on when it expires but have it on high authority that it will remain in place after july.

So no immediate panic to start a new panel.

BMHOPE · 09-07-2020 9:47am

That's great Nazzy, I was told earlier In the time that it would probably be extended due to only recruiting for critical posts during covid, but heard nothing since, although panel has moved in last four months. If you are still waiting for a position to come up, best of luck. I wonder about Dublin as an option post covid, as with working a lot of the time from home, it might make it more doable for 1/2 days a week and put in for a transfer. Especially at this grade, where its not a clocking grade.

nazzy · 10-07-2020 1:35pm

So a few people appear to have gotten results today but I know a few that havent.

Perhaps only Dublin people got results. Anyone hear anything?

I haven’t heard anything and applied for Dublin

Were the people who heard all either successful / unsuccessful or was it a mix?

Sorry to hear that, it's very hard, I've been there and you would be kicking yourself. Ask for feedback. I have sent you a PM too.
