Any more word on army interviews? I receive my invitation for the Navy interview but have yet to hear from the army?

Got my Garda vetting on Friday. Hoping that it means I’m being considered for an interview. Surely we’ll find out for sure this week.

Army is still slow with people's usual regard and expectation. Replys are going to be slow an staggared but don't be worrying I'm sure they havnt left any of you out. The covid restrictions have even one down to skeleton staff including the army so replys and test results will take a little longer than you folks are normally used to.

I’ve gotten no email or response at all after completing the fitness test/group exercise. Would it be fair to assume I’m on some sort of reserve list or have I just been eliminated and they haven’t told me?

Not sure if you’re going to get good news or bad news but they will tell you if you’ve been unsuccessful at any point in the competition.

Lads, anyone know how many examples we should have for each competency for the interview? And what are the questions they ask like? I have my interview Tuesday morning! Thanks!

Quick question regarding the army interview, should we bring certs and pieces of paper related to hobbies and stuff outside of formal education or is that surplus to requirement.

I really liked the psychometrics in stage 2, especially the one where we used the joystick. I thought the second personality test was quite weird. I'd say I didn't do too well on the one with the plane multitasking though because I didn't really understand when I was supposed to press the "waypoint" button... that and there was a lot to remember for the questions at the end.

What about you, what did you think?

I was a fan of the joystick one, more of a game than a test! Yeah that one was weird, very blatant as to what they were trying to gauge there tbh. The puzzle one with the shapes was anyone's guess not sure how I did in that one and I had the exact same problem with the multitasking one, the waypoint one was confusing!

All in all if you put the testing and career aspects to the side I thought it was actually a great experience and quite a fun day ðŸ˜

Yeah that could be a possibility , I take it we won’t hear for a few weeks either way so?

Yea, I mean there is 3 weeks of interviews. D Day would be 7th August

I have a feeling we’re probably on the reserve interview panel, and we’ll be called if other people aren’t available or fail the interview.

Anyone know what happens first at the air corps fitness and group assessments? Should I arrive in running gear or casual clothes?

The way they did it with us was fitness in the morning, then psychometrics, then break, then psychometrics again then group assessments. Surprisingly there is a personality test at the end both pyschometric sessions but I think the second one tests for any mental illnesses because the questions are weird.

What roles did you apply for? Maybe the different roles will be selected at different times.

Also for those who applied for multiple roles, do you know if it is the one interview or is it a seperate interview for each role?

Mine was just Army Line Officer.

I got the Air Corps rejection last week as well. Made a balls of the test. I’ve got no Garda vetting form though which is worrying.
