My manager came to me today asking if I'd like to stay in the team as an EO just got promotion to HEO and there is an opening. I love my job now, so I'm so pleased. Does anyone know how this works? I know my AP is going to speak to HR now, but would I still have to go through Garda and ref checks or can they literally just change me from CO to EO if its approved?

But that’s great at least I know I’m not going crazy now! Does anybody have any tips on the interview? Is it much like the CO interviews but more in detail? And does it really go on for the full 40 minutes? That’s daunting for me!

A word of warning though, sometimes you don't make a clean break with your CO duties and team members may react differently to a promotion than to a new manager. It sounds as if there is a definite position you're moving so it should be okay but bear it in mind.

I will be replacing another girl on my team who is being promoted to HEO in the department. Im guessing when we get new CO's that one may report to me, but not sure yet. Do you know if they will need to do Garda vetting etc again? Or if I need to do anything like contacting PAS to inform them that my AP is putting things in motion to keep me? Sorry for all of the questions, just wondering how it all works!

I've asked my HR to try and retain me and they said to get my AP involved but they can't guarantee anything because PAS can push back on it and because I'm high up on the OOM, I may be already assigned to a new dept and there is nothing they can do at that stage.

This is what I’m really seeking mine for to be honest. Someone kindly listed the interview competencies previously could you repost them please. I’d like to start preparing in case
