Senior Executive Officer, Local Authority 2020

I finished in the "next 200" and have not heard anything.

I queried above and this is what I received.

In batch 1 we called candidates placed 1-200 on the order of merit form Stage 1 online assessments.

A second batch of candidates, who placed between 201 and 359 (inclusive) on the order of merit from Stage 1 Online Assessments and who selected South Dublin, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Laois and/or Westmeath County Council in their location preferences, were invited to complete Stage 2 online video interview. Candidates who placed between 201 and 1135 (inclusive) on the order of merit from Stage 1 Online Assessments and who selected Wicklow County Council in their location preferences, were also invited to complete Stage 2 online video interview.

Recently we have called a further batch of candidates, those who placed between 201 – 359 (inclusive) and who did not select one of the above local authorities, forward for stage 2.

We are currently making plans to invite additional candidates for other specific locations to the next stages and we hope to issue an update to candidates in relation to this over the coming weeks.

I just got notification about this today. I applied so long ago I couldn't even remember it! Coincidentally I attended a training course on these types of interviews a couple of weeks ago, from recollection I think the recommendation was that the split in the three mins should be 45 seconds on your background, 1.5 mins on the example, 30 seconds on what you learned from it and 15 seconds how you would apply this knowledge to the role (you are applying for).

I think it's to frame your experience to the context of the question, ie you are tee-ing up your example. Your intro should also provide some of the background to the example and the trainer stressed to keep this simple and as non-jargonny as possible.

I've pm'd you.

How did you get on, Heffo? It was strange talking to a camera without a person on the other side of the conversation. Hopefully we hear soon about the next stage for better or worse.

I'm surprised by the contrast in activity between this thread and the AP 2021 thread. Makes me wonder if most who applied last summer have moved on and forgotten about the competition!

Looks like this will be mid October now!

Sorry just replying to this now, was very strange talking to a camera without a person alright, hard to know whether it went well or not! Got the message on public jobs yesterday that results will be out in October, so fingers crossed!

Received an offer, not my first preference, has anyone received offers from Dublin LA's in the last few days

Any idea how many for interview in this round? One or two boards?

asst principal is the equivalent

Dunno about donegal posts.

Same here. I thought I was so far down the list from the Initial test that would be that.

Can't even remember applying for this competition.

You can get booklet by emailing PAS directly.
