Principal Officer competition 2019

I was going to ask the same thing? I would have thought that the first offers would be out today or tomorrow.

Ive been offered a Dublin post, was placed <5 on panel. Got some serious thinking to do now

Congratulatations and take it as I suspect if you are interested in this job you are not spoilt for choice?

Hi that great news. Congratulations on your promotion. I think they may move quickly through this panel! Here's hoping I placed <20 which I was delighted with having just got over a Covid dose.

Our Dept, while open to blended working arrangements, is only considering 20%, so one day remotely. However not sure how that will go down but also we can't been seen to have an advantage on the private sector so I'd say a plan maybe be implemented slowly to see what the public opinion is like!

Thanks and congrats to you too ! It does seem to be moving quickly. Hope you’re feeling better now after the dose.

Most larger private sector companies seem to be going blended or fully remote so that may not be an issue long term. I had hoped for 2 days remote but I guess 1 is better than nothing. My current place was looking at a 2:3 remote: office split. Im fully remote at the moment.

Thanks again for the insight

I know following on from a staff survey across the CS 2:3 days or 3:2 options were the most preferred. Like all Depts one size policy wont fit all business areas. So I imagine we will end up nearer your hopes! I think we all have a long way to go before we are fully blended!:)

Well done to everyone so far! How do you get notified of an offer, is it the usual text/Email to check your publicjobs messages?

Does anyone know if there has been any update on the PO ICT/Digital competition that was advertised around the same time as this competition?

Don't know about anyone else, but I got a message to my contact email and not to publicjobs.ie messages.

Anyone get any offers today?

I think the interviews are finished on the 21st April, so I'd say a day or 2 for mop up interviews then results hopefully soon. &#55357;&#56911;&#55358;&#56606;

Is that for the video interview or final interview? Just wondering as to try guess how quick they may move on batch 2! There is obviously quite a few vacancies . Thanks for the update. Best of luck.

Thanks, yes actual interviews. The last stage is the presentation. From previous posts I see batch 2 have began offering positions already, up to number 6 I think.

Last time the interviews finished on a Friday and the results issued the following Wednesday. If you passed the interview you were called to stage 4. There was an almost two months gap between Stage 3 and Stage 4. It might be less this time.

It’s very hard to tell with interviews. Fingers crossed for you.

Anyone an idea where the panel is at now? 5/6 the last time we heard

Do we know how many in are in that second batch?
