Danger3000 wrote: » Hi, I am new to this thread and all this info is great! I have a couple of questions if anyone has any info! I got a message yesterday about an interview in Dublin, my other county is Westmeath. Does anyone know what OOM they have called to interview in Westmeath? ( I am OOM mid 60's there) Secondly, if I express interest in an interview for Dublin how long will it be until the actual interview? Lastly, I presume there are way more jobs going in Dublin so that is probably the most likely route to a job? Thanks!

I had an email from my HR to say they have put in the request to PAS, and that usually they would meet the request but it isn't guaranteed. They said they would be in touch as soon as they hear anything, so I will let you all know how it goes. Thanks again to all of those who took time to provide input/ their story on this. Seems it isn't clear cut!

Your comment was anecdotal though. I was offering my anecdotal response too! Edit: I was offering my story about how simple it was for me. I was engaging in a discussion, or so I thought. I have never seen happen what you have described, your experience is just that, an experience! Seriously, didn't meant to come across as anything other than that. People come here to get people's feedback on the experience. You gave yours and I gave mine. I don't see why you are coming at me this way to be honest.

T900i wrote: » I know I’ve seen it on here but I can no longer find it (apologies) In relation to the pdf application form (which I’m sourcing from PAS) did we NOT fill in competencies on that application form. 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

Skweefie wrote: » I'm sorry this happened to you. I didn't have the same experience when I requested a stay. However, when I got the order of merit I mailed HR within 5 minutes so maybe I just acted quickly. I would have thought if your current dept wanted to keep you, they would.
masterbenji08 wrote: » This is true. 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.
