2020 Executive Officer Civil Service

Hi all.

I had my interview the 16 sept ans got my results last Friday 24th! Have a OOM 3 for Longford batch 2 ( I think)

I received an email on Tuesday asking for documents as I am under consideration. Does anyone know if this means that I will be called soon?

Also in people’s experience how long does clearance take?

Thanks

I think there are a lot of people lurking hereabouts in the hope of getting an idea of how long they'll be waiting for the next step, whatever that might be - I certainly was, until I got to the end of the process.

I just signed my EO contract and this is how it went for me. Might be useful to some in estimating their own timeline, although I know it probably wouldn't shed much light for those in other counties or in the Interdepartmental competition etc.

14/8/20 - Stage 1 Questionnaire

9/10/20 - Stage 1 results: Dublin Open OOM ~550

5/2/21 - Stage 2 eTray

23/4/21 - Stage 2 results: Dublin Open OOM ~300

01/07/21 - Invitation to interview

3/8/21 - Stage 3 Interview

10/8/21 - Stage 3 Interview Result: Batch 2 OOM~50

22/9/21 - Offer of assignment with the DSP, pending clearance

15/11/21 - Start date as EO (taking enough time to give notice and take a wee breath before the new gig - they would have had me start on Nov 1)

A long aul road. YMMV.

Good luck to everyone still in the process. 👍️

Thank you so much. The above is super helpful, particularly to people who have never gone through the process before.

can I ask though, you said you were offered the place pending clearance? I am currently going through clearance but no mention of placement.

The email stated I was under consideration for a position pending clearance, as I am a regional I’m wondering if there is a position at all?

Well done. I had my interview today as well. They were both lovely but like you-I was interrupted a good few times mid example. They told me at the start they would do this if I hit points they were looking for & if they needed extra info. I wouldn't worry.

Best of luck now, hopefully we won't be waiting too long for results, 1-2 weeks maybe.

Yes exactly, keep to the point, use the competency buzzwords in the examples & not to worry if they cut across your answer-they're actually helping you elaborate on what you've already given them.☺️

Best of luck to all going forward with interviews / results

Sounds like it! Best of luck 🍀

I am 244 OOM in the Open Dublin Competition and I haven't received the email asking for my intention to interview yet? :(

I was under 80 on the open stream after the Etray. But they seem to be constantly filling EO vacancies so I cant imagine you are going to be sitting too long!

Hiya

It is for the Open for Longford. I am batch 2.

After the E-tray I was OOM 3 and then after the interview I was OOM 3!

Hope that answers your question. I will post here if I get any more information.! Other posters in the past have recommended emailing PAS to see how many have been called etc.

Can anybody post a link to the terms and conditions that go with the EO role such as probation period, number of holidays, flexitime (if available) etc.

When I look back at the communications I received during the process, I cannot find this type of information.

I'm going through clearance now and its looking positive so would like to review as much details on the job spec as possible before I'm formally offered a position.

Just wondering does anyone know what qualifications would be considered the same level or what standard would be considered the same or higher than this?

TIA

(ii) have obtained in the Established Leaving Certificate Examination a minimum of Grade D (or post 2017 Leaving Certificate O6 grade) at Ordinary level in Mathematics and Irish or English, having obtained a minimum of Grade C (or post 2017 Leaving Certificate H4 grade) in at least five subjects at Higher level; or hold a qualification, that in the opinion of the Public Appointments Service, is of a standard in terms of both level and volume of learning that is of at least an equivalent or higher standard;

Can I ask what documents they asked for as I have been given a number on the panel and wish to get organised myself.

Congratulations to you 😊

Any word yet for yourself?

fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Fantastic news, congrats🤗. I did my interview Friday 01/10, got my results also today, so fast!!

Placed OOM 5, Batch 1.3- Open Stream for Cork.
