But this panel is only for 1 year

They kept messing with how COs are recruited. Looks like they've gone for shorter panels but I'm almost certain the 2017 and 2018 panels were two years.

They last for two years and sometimes get extended a bit.

I thought one panel was only open/valid at a time, what's the point in the 2020 panel if they're still pulling people off the panel from 2 years ago especially when the 2020 is only valid for a year??!

I have just finished a TCO contract and a new CO started last week, I asked her which panel she came of thinking it was the newest 2020 and was going ask her the number they are up to.

She's from the 2018 panel..... Why is this this active &#55357;&#56849;

Perhaps she was assigned/offered the role BEFORE the new 2020 panel started and only commenced employment now. whats the county?

Depending on the Dept, garda vetting can take up to six months . My own took 23 weeks. So she may have been offered the role before the 2020 one even started and was awaiting clearance.

Recruitment is usually every 2 years. There was none 2017.

There was, although it may have been limited to Dublin. It was in the latter part of the year and not open for very long.

Hey if you are offered a job and it's not suitable for one reason or another, what happens if you dont take it up, would you be excluded from future panels

That's it for the current panel but you can reapply to a new panel.

From future ones absolutely not but you'll be removed from current one. There are exceptions, if the position involves a commute over a certain distance I'm pretty sure you will remain in contention for another/the next position. What that figure is I can't recall, 40km+ maybe, I'm not sure.

Well done. Customs Officer?

Rant1 · 30-09-2020 11:06AM

I got an email to say I'm being considered for a position. Have to go through clearance process. There was three attachments in the email. Might be a stupid question but do I need to print the documents, fill them in and then scan them or do I just fill them in on the computer?

Thanks L390. Was hoping I could just digitally sign them but I'll have to get access to a printer now.

Deadline is tomorrow. I was in a flap and sent an email to PAS before I posted here. They got back to me and said digital signature is ok. Or a pasted pic of your signature in the signature area.

Cheers for the offer though.

EO2019 · 30-09-2020 03:50PM

Anyone get questions about IT skills in the interview. I can happily formulate any spreadsheet if it’s in front of me but not sure I could talk some one through it without the program open ☹️

L390 · 30-09-2020 04:08PM

Only took 2 days for my e-vetting to clear

bob.thebuilder · 01-10-2020 01:20PM

Hi. I have interview next week for custom officer position, anyone got an idea what kind of questions I should expect. Anyone who had their interview done already might be able to help me. You can PM me if you like. Thank you

EO2019 · 01-10-2020 01:54PM

Me too best of luck!

Got a message today in Irish asking me to send my level of Irish according to the European self assessment framework to a particular email as part of the Irish clerical job.

Is this a standard thing or does it bode well that I got this message today? Maybe everyone else who ticked Irish got it too?

Thanks!

Did you get the next application form due back tomorrow? Finding it difficult to fill in

Does anyone know if Civil Service staff outside of Dublin are back in their offices? Even on a part time basis, or is it all WFH for the forseeable future?

Catd1980 · 01-10-2020 10:10PM

Anyone know how Laois and Kilkenny are progressing? I'm OOM 258 for Laois & 274 Kilkenny.
