I don't have much IT knowledge either..just emails, social media and that sort of thing. I have used Word occasionally but I am sure training will be provided 😊

I was told in September that I was being assigned to a position in Dublin and to send in my ID etc. Then I was sent Garda Vetting forms, they took about a week. On Oct 12th I got a call to say I will be starting on November 15th and they emailed me my contract, bank details form etc. I have sent those back and they said they will be in touch nearer the start date as to where exactly I am going. I know it is Justice and will be Burgh Quay or Mount St, but still awaiting confirmation. All tolled from interview to start date it has taken around three months.
Hi can someone help me. I starting first week of November in my assigned Department.
I am told I will be in the IT unit......BUT I don't have any IT knowledge. What will Clerical Officer doing in IT Unit?
Hi Leave ref empty is for the revenue Section too just The organisation name is the revenue and Date and the applicant Name .is it an online form or hard copy?
I’m in the same boat but not waiting to hear as long but my message on public jobs gave me the email of an actual person rather than a group email - that’s what I was trying to work out was it a person not replying or was it a group email. I suppose you could draft a nice email explaining that you are a bit distressed worrying etc? It’s a pity you didn’t get an actual name though having said that I haven’t emailed mine so haven’t a clue if that’s any better but I’m only two weeks waiting.
It didn’t give a name, just an email to contact it was revenuepasrecruitment@revenue.ie, sent them a message 3 weeks ago but didn’t get a reply. Maybe it’s not an unusual length of time to wait but just hoping to double check!

I interviewed for Kildare a couple of weeks ago and Tuesday just gone got assigned a department and location just waiting to hear about a start date etc
Did that message give the name of someone to contact if you had any queries or who was it you contacted?
anyone know what to add for additional info on part 2 of form , also top corner reference (should it be left blank for Revenue to reference?
thanks in advance
On Monday I received a message to state I have been assigned to a position in Dublin. Has anybody any experience of how long I may be waiting for a start date ?
That also came up in mine! I second that thanks!
Revenue are hiring a good few over the coming weeks. Again unsure of your area etc, this is Midlands / South I am on about.
Had my stage 2 interview this morning. Thanks to whoever said about BCC, made a good impression knowing that 👍🏼
Hi all, I received a message on my message board at the start of September to say I have been assigned to a position in Revenue and that the personnel section would be in touch shortly. I didn’t hear anything so sent a follow up email a few weeks later but didn’t hear back from that either.
Has anyone had any experience of how long this can generally take? Any help appreciated thanks a mill
Hi Calmcookie. If you don’t mind me asking, what Oom are you? I emailed them last week and got no response 😒😒
No problem. I just checked and the I.D. upload comes later when confirming attendance once they have sent you a date and time. Best of luck with it all.
Thanks a million for your response. That’s a good sign so. Hopefully, things will start moving in the new year
From what I remember when I received this message I had to reply "Yes I am still interested" and also had to upload a copy of my photo I.D. You should then receive an invitation to interview and a CV type application form to fill out and return.
I just got one for Kildare and wondering the same
Good evening all,
I have just received a message in my message board asking me if I am interested in an interview for my chosen county. Can anyone tell me what this means? It’s not an invitation to an interview but an expression of interest. I’m a bit confused
I haven’t heard of any particular departments, but best of luck to you. 🤞🤞
Hi guys. I have an interview for CO tomorrow. Anyone know what departments people are being sent to?
I certainly will do this. Thank you very much.
This is a good point. While the work of HSO would be fairly straightforward. I'm not sure I want that to be the end point in my career path and I don't want to close off or delay other options.
Thank you for your response. Much to consider.
You could ask HR if your experience as SO can be carried across for incremental purposes. My TCO experience was taken into consideration for incremental purposes but not for internal promotion.
I know a lad that was a CO years and years ago, left the CS and came back as a Service's Officer. He says the only comps he can apply for internally is Customs, which is very limited. You also have current CS staff and some assigned to customs apply also, so you are competing with experience.
So once you are a HSO, that's it unless you are very lucky to apply for a Customs role.
If you take the CO, after 2 years, you are eligible to apply for internal and interdepartmental comps for EO,HEO,AO, even AP as far as I know.
While HSO, might give you short term gain (€160), you need to look at the longer picture
Looking at the scales below, the scale for HSO, is shorter, so you will reach the max quicker at €775.61, for CO it will take longer but the max is greater at €787.52.
I included the Higher Scale in there also, what this is, is a internal mini competition usually at District level (they might say there's 2 positions available), where you complete an application form to say you are the greatest thing since sliced bread and the top dogs will discuss the applications and you may or may not get it depending on who's applied and how many. These comps might come up only every few years, it's not something I would get too hung up on.

Hi everyone,
I have received an email to confirm that I am under consideration for a position from the Clerical Officer 2020 panel for Dublin. I have to undergo vetting and confirm references. I have until next week to reply.
I am currently working as a Services Officer in a government department. I applied for the SO job after the CO competition and I started earlier this summer. I am in receipt of an additional allowance to my pay for certain duties.
My pay is currently a little higher than the starting pay point 1 of a CO due to this allowance. I think I would be down about €40/week gross pay initially.
There is also a possibility of being promoted to Head Services Officer as the current HSO will be retiring in a couple of years. The point 1 pay of a HSO is approximately €160/week gross more than what I would be on at that point.
When am I eligible for promotion? The current HSO has said after 1 year but I am not sure about that. Would I be better off starting on the CO scale and trying to work my way up from there? Is it possible to start at point 2 on the CO scale so that my pay would be more in line with what I am currently earning? I know there are circulars in regards to pay, but do they even apply in my case? What promotional path would there be for a HSO?
I enjoy the work I am doing. Although it is not perfect, I can imagine things being worse. What should I do? I would be very grateful for any insight and thoughts you might have.
Congratulations! I hope you love it there.
I was informed on Tuesday that I will be starting in Dept Justice on November 15th 😊 anyone else starting then?
