    Anyone else called to interview? They don't seem to have pulled many (if any) from the panel to date. Hard to figure why they're starting the next batch already.

    Has anyone else been called to supervised (online obv) tests? I did the comp so long ago I had no idea what they were talking about when I got the mail last week but at the rate of staff turnover I suppose they're emptying the remnants

    Is the panel for this competition set to expire in July or has it been extended?

    What’s the normal turn around from finishing the tests to getting results? Thanks

    Finally got results, told it's a form next.

    Anyone know if it's a straightforward competencies form or weird questions like the open AP?

    Also is your call to interview based on the form or are you guaranteed an interview and this is just the first stage? Tia

    Going by the last batch it’s the normal forms. Think you’re guaranteed an interview once A Sec signs off on it

    Is there a virtual presentation in a one-step interview process these days?

    Anyone else pass the AP today?

    Wondering how long the panel will remain open!

    The last batch had an expiry date in October but it’s well cleared. I’d say it will be end of year

    They've panelled 28 in Dublin, taking the September post-bump retirements into consideration and the amount of existing vacancies I can't imagine number 28 will be waiting too long. I heard from HR they're figuring out the logistics of the panel in September.

    I heard this evening that the panel is still set to expire on 7th October 2021. That's only 5.5 weeks away, what are the chances all 28 will be placed in that time!

    Does panel not exist for at least one year after it was formed. Last batch was due to expire 7th October 2021 but all are placed.

    I would have thought so but seemingly the expiry date is still the same according to HR. Doesn't seem fair!

    I doubt that is right. A panel for 5.5 weeks!


    Does anyone know how many were panelled for outside of Dublin?

    Indeed the 7th October 2021 is correct.

    What a waste of time for people outside of Dublin. What hope does someone have to get placed if they are say, 10th?

    It would probably depend on what preference you had on the form. Likes of Cork and Galway would have a few vacancies rather than smaller offices

    It's very unusual. Why run a competition so close to the expiry and place so many on the panel. Getting people's hopes up only to be shot down again!

    I'd say anyone panelled has been told, HR mailed this morning. But I'm only on the Dublin list.

    HR did contact me during the week (unsolicited) to say 'We could not indicate at this time when the successful candidates for the Dublin panel for the recent AP competition will begin to be placed.' So they don't seem to be in a hurry.

    Just contact HR assignments and ask, that's what I did.
