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?

I have friends working in three different depts and 1 is back part time (split shifts) and the other two are still WFH . My husband works for a public body (but not civil service) and they are transitioning back to the office but don’t have to go to the office if they don’t want to .

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

I didn't

Sounds like my email past the cutoff point which included the application number that I had forgotten in the first email wasn't accepted.

Any indication on how many Customs Officer posts are available? Interviewed during the week, prepared hard and it went pretty well. Then heard yesterday that I met the qualifying standard, but only got a very average score, and won't know my OOM until the end of the month. Shame.

Not sure how many positions are available but I have an interview next week, my OOM is in the 1100s and I saw previously on this post that people in OOM of 1600 were contacted for the position too. I imagine your order of merit is higher than mine and others because your interview was this week. So even if your interview scores were average, I don't think you'll move down too much against the others. I perhaps didn't explain that well, I hope you get what I mean.

Can you recall what questions you were asked in the interview? I'm quite nervous about mine so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

You might be suprised and once you're in two years (less in some cases) you can look at lateral moves.

Got an email the other day about clearance. Does everything have to be scanned and emailed back? It's a little bit confusing

Look at the bright side! It's a fantastic opportunity with so many great benefits. I say give it a chance until you settle in and it might not be as bad as you think! Best of luck by the way!

For anyone wondering how Wexford is progressing, I got OOM 26 after initial application. I was invited to express interest in a Revenue/Customs role in Rosslare in early September. Had my interview last Friday and received a message that afternoon that I am OOM 3 on the phase 2 panel.

It seems by the wording of the message that I have been successful pending clearance.

If anyone has any questions regarding the interview or process, pop me a DM or reply here.

rcrell1 · 05-10-2020 10:31PM

As a matter of interest I got Batch 6 OOM 2 after the interview. What exactly is the Batch number. Ie is it another way of separating interviews etc

Catd1980 · 05-10-2020 10:32PM

Did anyone hear how interviews are progressing for Laois?

I emailed PAS to ask this. They said it was fine either way. Just insisted the documents had to be signed. I filled out the forms on my computer and just pasted a pic of my signature in the signature field.

If your unsure and have any questions don't be afraid to email them. They were quick to get back to me and very helpful.

It's nigh on impossible to fail probation, it certainly won't happen because they don't have work for you. You would be redepolyed.

Believe me Social Welfare is the one department that will never stop needing staff! Think of all the different schemes they run, from pension to Illness Benefit to the regular jobseekers! Not to mention all the staff who work in their HR, corporate services, training
etc! You will be fine! I'm pretty sure they were still desperate for staff back when unemployment was 4%! Usually other departments actually redeploy staff INTO social welfare if they have no need for them anymore, not the other way around!

Anyone have an update on OOM for Sligo? Thanks.

newbie18892 · 07-10-2020 12:27PM

Dublin is still at OOM 423 according to PAS. Very slow progression over the past while

Edit: Just got a second email correcting the figure to OOM 556

claregal1 · 07-10-2020 12:43PM

Hi anyone have an update on Clare or Limerick OOM ? Thanks

Jood10 · 07-10-2020 02:23PM

Limerick at OOM 19, very little movement on this panel!

What is the email address to contact PAS about your position ? Or are you better off phoning ?

Clarkeel · 07-10-2020 07:36PM

Donegal only at OOM 12..so slow moving
