Hi Guys can anyone tell me if I qualify for the new EO comp announced today,? It says on the booklet you need to have obtained a pass in ordinary maths and irish or english, I have the pass in english but unfortunately done foundation level maths, anyways I went on to college and obtained a level 6.
Now in the information booklet it says you need a level 7 degree or a leaving cert or equivalent so would my level 6 stand to me as equivalent/ higher than a leaving cert? It's very confusing as I dont know why there looking for a degree yet are happy enough to take someone with just a leaving cert...

You also need at least a C in 5 higher level subjects if you’re ticking the leaving cert box.. but a level 6 shouldn’t be an issue as leaving cert is equivalent to level 5.. no harm to email pas and double check

They’ve said that they won’t be calling from the new panel until November so still hope for people near the top.

They said this closes september and if a vancancy comes in during october I'd expect that they'll call people to interview from 2020 panel and place them in November

I'd say they probably will. They wont be ready to hire anybody from the 2020 panel until around December at the earliest maybe, so any vacancies arising before then will probably come from whomever they have interviewed off the 2019 panel

I don't know for CO 2020 the applications opened march and old panel closed in may

Oh good luck with that ... Maybe they will call a few more before the new panel is set up, fingers crossed . Very frustrating.. they called up to OOM just 2 places before me and no movement since early this year then ... Really thought might have had an interview before panel closes up .. not looking good.

Back to the start, it's so disheartening.. but what's the alternative? Stay going as a CO?? I'll lose my mind!

They'll have interviewed a small number who will be on the panel in case a sudden vacancy arose - and er, it's the public service - staffing requests will be summarily IGNORED while some poor sap in whatever section picks up the slack for untold months/years lol

Also note: EO2019 is dead:

How do they know that they'll be no requests for staff, or is it the case any future requests will be allocated from new panel?

I emailed PAS today just for an update too and they said there had not been any movement for Carlow and there would not be for the continuation of this campaign which is due to end shortly. Also confirmed what others are saying that a new campaign will begin in the next few weeks.

Complete waste of time for everyone

Definitely looks like this is done and dusted

So close and yet so far.

I know someone in Kilkenny in top 20 in Batch 1.1 who hasn't been interviewed despite having passed round 2 over a year ago. Seems they've only bothered to interview 10/15 - + you could probably count actual appointments on one hand. Furthermore the biggest public sector recruiter in last 2/3 years has been the Gardaí and they're running their own internal EO competition. You really have to wonder what the point is!

Covid and the incoming increment has put a freeze on people leaving the service until they get their monies!

Working to 70 didn't help either

Was there any movement for Carlow or Kilkenny?

Very disappointed reading that the campaign will close in September. Thought these campaigns usually ran for 2 years.

Clare have hired no one from the open competition, I’m no 1 in batch 1.1 after interview and according to PAS there are NO vacancies in Clare.
Feels more like a paper exercise tying up loose ends. Only 7 were interviewed as far as I know, from god knows how many applications for 0 positions. Time, expense, effort all a complete waste.

I'll defend PAS in that they prob had a vacancy on the inter panel and then they had to interview open panel too. But departments could be doing their own thing from memory I can remember an internal panel that seemed to be moving quicker than an open panel that had all departments in county covered. In Clare don't Revenue have a large base there and they have their own open panel to work from .

Have been on endless pannels too that seem to go nowhere. At first I was happy thinking it was a decent achievment, but it turns out to just be a game of diminishing hope. Way better to be told yes or no at the start, especially since making a panel but not getting anything at the end amounts to a grand total of 0 benefit or help toward your goal of any kind.

It's the same with IT EO's or Tax/Revenue EOs with specialized skills

What doesnt make sense?

For the Communications Officer on the application form it asks for details of your experience working in Journalism or Multi/Media/Communications?

Also to give details of your eperience of using and updating social media in a work environemnt - Such as Twitte, Flickr, You Tube, Instragram and Facebook and the final one

Give details of your experience (if any) in using Lightroom for photo cataloguing and post production and or Graphic Design / Motion Graphics packages and or Non Linar Editing Systems ie Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro

So in my opnion the competencys on the application for Communications Officer are extermely related to the job and not siminalar to the competencys for Executive Officer
