Anyone know how Waterford and Wexford are doing as regards no.s interviewed

Pamelabeasley · 28-07-2020 11:43PM

I contacted yesterday about what oom they had reached for interviews and they’re only up to 7 in Mayo and 24 in Sligo. So disappointing. The process seems to be getting more complex and inefficient with every change

They were on 7 for Mayo about 2 months ago. Disappointing to hear they've not moved on at all

So many departments are working from home, training has stopped completely at present in certain sectors along with bulk hires.

A review on working arrangements is not due until September again.

Still a heap retiring every day, so people are going out. But nothing coming in at present!

Do you know if they are doing online interviews or are they doing them in Chapter House?

beenhad · 29-07-2020 11:35AM

They were doing online interviews, no word on interviews in chapter house yet! Sure everything changes so quick now!

The danger is for anyone who applied that this competition will fizzle out with few hired before the next one is launched.

Ah right ok thanks. So, you have to get an email with your placement following interview ?

Yep. Public jobs will probably notify them by email to inform them whether they have been successful or not in the interview and their position on the panel after that point for their chosen county

Hello,
I've been offered a position of clerical officer in Dublin. I'm currently working for a bank in Dublin. What is the career progression like in the civil service. The money isn't too good so is it reasonable to expect a promotion every 3 years or so?
Thanks

Never expect anything with the civil service except a guaranteed job and generally a good work life balance.

The only way to really gain promotion through the civil service is competitions. The one that you have applied through would be just like one such competition.
Open/Interdepartmental/internal are the competitions you would be applying through. Open are available to everyone. Interdepartmental you can start applying for once you have been in the civil service for 2 years. Internal are probably only open once you have completed your organisations probation period (typically 1 year).

You get onto panels from each of those and depending on how you did at each stage, will depend on how high you are on the panels and how likely you are to get a promotion. Working as hard as you can may improve your chances on the Internal panels as I've seen in my own place, people who are well thought of in the organisation did well on one of our most recent competitions.

would the ratio of people applying for a internal job be less then a externally advertised one ? Ie would you have a better prospect of promotion once your a serving employee ?

Positions are filled on the basis of 1/3 of each External, Internal and Mobility if I recall correctly, which I very well may not! :pac:

I'm on Galway Panel and received message asking if I was interested in being put on a panel for Clifden. If I agree, I will be taken off general Galway panel. Has anyone else received similar message?

Ya the same. I assume we can just ignore if not interested in clifden? It'd some commute.

For EO. This one for CO has closed a while

I know someone who's been offered an interview for this clerical officer role. They have to fill out some form with their experience. They want to know how thorough are the checks on past employment, they are filling in a gap or two with adding a couple of months to employment that was finished. For example, they worked in office A for a year, started in office B 3 months later, they've adjusted A to say they worked right up to when they started in B. Does anyone know about the checks they'll do for the civil service?
