    I'm sure you did good, they move through the interview fairly fast so dont worry about that, it's just they are keeping to a clock.

    Does anyone know what OOM they are up to in Dublin? I'd love to know what rate they get through candidates per week to gauge . Have been applying for other jobs and getting a bit anxious with the wait😊

    I did mine today. Felt good about it. It was my first public sector interview so I wasn't used to the format. I was nervous but I feel I answered all of their questions and found the interviewers friendly.

    This way is the best and faster application process for everyone, also wonder what happens to the panel earlier was that still there or not now. Also was curious to know how the process of online application will work further and what’s and how will be decided regarding the interview or next steps, later knew that will have to through familiarisation test and that’s kind of TCO like process, thanks for the detailed information it will help in the further openings in the time ahead.

    Delighted the interviews went well today.
    Anyone know where they are in Wexford or this new panel for customs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11 mameeh


    Hi, I have an interview for Customs CO in Dublin on 23rd Feb. Has anyone done an interview for this already? I'd really appreciate any tips.

    They have to reach your number on the panel but I don't think they interview unless they have a position for you to begin with, I could be corrected on that.

    I emailed them the other day. They have reached OOM 1304 in Co. Dublin and are only interviewing as posts become available. They also said that the panel is until May 2021. They will email if they decide to extend it...might be awhile before we hear anything about even getting an interview!!

    Hi does anyone know how long it takes after interview to get the results and does ur oom stay the same after interview

    Just wondering if you've heard anything back yet..
    Trying to see how long it takes to hear back. 😬

    It depends how long it takes them to interview the whole batch. Everyone in the batch needs to be interviewed before they can generate a new oom based on your interview score. When I was interviewed I was waiting a week for results. The people in my batch who were interviewed after me had less time to wait for a result.
    Not sure on the failure rate. Competencies are marked out of 50 with a score of 20 required to pass.

    Where did you hear that from? At this moment in time I find this very hard to believe.

    Really? I am very surprised as they never give much away when you ask if panel will be extended unless they now know something for sure!! Hopefully it will be extended for all our sakes.

    Mind me asking exactly what they said? I'd love this to be true, just thought they would have e-mailed everyone in that case

    I know this would suit a lot of people but my OOM was shockingly bad (considering I was in the top 10 for TCO) and I'd hoped to getter a better run at the 2021 panel.

    At this rate they'll have reached my number on the EO panel first :rolleyes:

    Some how I couldn't imagine them emailing everyone. If this were true it would be great news for everyone. I know when I asked in the early days they didn't say yes or no to an extension on this panel but I don't think they really know themselves what is happening.

    Might not be such good news: The most likely reason for extending it is that they don't expect to take many people from it.

    I'm in the same boat!

    I only did the CO as a way to pass the time. Nailed the EO both with PAS and the NTA and absolutely ruined the CO process with PAS and TII!

    Gas.

    that makes no sense

    They told me May 2021 during the week! And that they would notify everyone via Public Jobs message board if they extend the panel...so I’m not sure why they would say 2022 to someone else a day after telling me May 2021...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,906 ✭✭✭✭Mrs OBumble

    True. Typo now fixed: they likely don't expect to take many people from the panel this year.
